i wonder - He took a chorus from

shoot me down - song by lil wayne - not terrible, a little on the simple side musically... but I can't find anywhere that kanye was involved at all...
In summation, I was hoping to rattle your cage a bit more...
I definitely wasn't expecting a list like this... You have better taste than most Kanye fans. There's no argument that Kanye is successful, but to call him a "genius" is going a bit overboard since he sampled the shit out of almost every one of his hit singles (which gave him lots of money to buy real artists)... Seriously, the
Tiger Woods Gatorade song is more original and has more talent than all of Kanye's tracks put together...
P.S. I'm not proud of using Wikipedia for every source...
