Before Kanye was Kanye and was an unknown, Talib Kweli let him be one of the opening acts. kayne stopped his show miday through because the crowd wasnt giving him the right energy. talib told him never stop the damn show.
Im not a fan of Kanye but his beats pre-fame were amazing.

^^ if you never heard the 'Get By" remix .. its one of the best hip hop songs ever.
I think Kanye produced 'Sunshine" by mos def as well. Kanye was the Beatles of beats right up there with DJ Premiere .. then he got all weird.
