Leech list for Kanye:
1) Jamie Foxx ("Slow Jamz" and "Gold Digger")
2) T-Pain/auto tune for
Heartbreaks & 808's
3) Rihanna, La Roux, Alicia Keys, Elton John etc. for "All of the Lights". MBDTF had a feature on nearly every song
4) Daft Punk for
Yeezus
5) Timbaland because he couldn't get his kick drum on "Stronger" to sound like he wanted. Also stated that he didn't like the way "Stronger" sounded next to "The Way I Are" in the club.
West mixed the track seventy-five times, as he could not seem to get the
kick drum to sound precisely the way that he wanted it to, amongst other issues.
[36] He worked on "Stronger" with eight different
audio engineers and eleven
mix engineers all around the world and has recorded over fifty versions of the track.
[38][39] Still feeling dissatisfied after hearing the
number-one hit single inside a
club compared alongside
Timbaland's 2007 single "
The Way I Are", which was his favorite hip-hop
beat at the time, West enlisted the record producer to assist him in redoing the
drum programming.

6) Dr. Dre. Kanye admitted to biting the drums off "Xxplosive" for "This Can't Be Life"
7) Justin Timberlake. "If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on"--- Kanye West
