It began to run a little thin on the 2005 follow-up, Late Registration, though. It still held its own and stood apart from the rest of the rap production pack when he dropped his solo debut, The College Dropout, in 2004. When he was lacing up tracks for Jay-Z and others this sound was unique. One also can't overlook how he created his own signature sound in terms of lush, mock orchestrations that are balanced out with sped-up Motown samples. The man has risen up from behind the boards to become a bona fide pop icon rivaling his peers 50 Cent and Diddy in terms of flash, cash and global recognition. You gotta give just a little bit of it up for Kanye West regardless of your feelings about his music.
