Kanye's a Producer, Not a Free Thinker.

Kanye's not a free thinker at all. He is, in his essence, a producer. Kanye doesn't make all the sounds. He hears sounds that were already on hit records and then applies them to a record that he makes a hit. But he's not creating all these from scratch. And you know what bothers me the most about the stuff that he does? I just don't think he has an original thought."
