Watch the Vampires: How Jay-Z and Kanye West Feast on Young Talent - Hollywood Prospectus Blog - Grantland

In the past, Kanye has signed or absorbed ascendant talent and blended it into his sound. Kid Cudi's melancholy warbling? He snatched that. Big Sean's signifier-object rhyming pattern? He's used it. Bon Iver's unintelligible cries into the night? He's moaned beside ’em. But Yeezus is something different; an acknowledgment that the world is bigger than he is. He needs new voices, new sounds, new blood to survive.
It's pretty long (pause), but this shyt is eye-opening.
It's all so clear now :wow:

All Kanye has ever done is amplify the voices of the underground.

That's his whole career.
