From chipmunk soul to industrial gospel
Kanye's greatest instrument has always been the studio itself. This path traces his evolution as a producer: the sped-up soul loops of 2004, the lush orchestral experiments of 2005, the electronic maximalism of 2007, the stark TR-808 minimalism of 2008, the dense sample-stacking of MBDTF, the industrial assault of Yeezus, and the gospel architecture of TLOP. Listen with headphones and pay attention to what's underneath the rapper.
