The coolest thing about Kanye's debut is how versatile the production is. Considering he found his niche with soul samples (i.e. Jay-Z's "This Can't Be Life" and The Blueprint), it is incredible how Mr. West crafts a collection of songs that all sound different. And for my money, "Jesus Walks" is the best beat of the 00s. The militant vibe, choir, and auto-tune gospel howls are all astounding. Then, of course, there is "Through the Wire" where Kanye raps with his jaw wired shut which is positively epic.
