In this era, Ye developed his signature chipmunk soul sampling style on TCD and LR. This sampling style utilized live instruments and choirs. But on Grad, Ye made an electro-rap album which utilized heavy, electronic synthesizers to create wide sound stages to fill arenas.

In this era, Kanye’s music was very experimental and kept changing styles. On 808s, (which utilized auto tune and the Roland TR-808 drum machine) Ye was able to capture heartbreak and his true feelings from the loss of his mother and breakup with his girlfriend.

On MBDTF, Kanye was able to create his best combo of great beats and lyrics and is widely considered his best. Yeezus utilized punk-rap beats and went for a more minimalist approach. It is typically considered Kanye’s most experimental album and when Ye went “high ego”.

This was the most open we’ve seen Kanye on an album as all his emotions are on the table. On Jesus Is King, Ye found his calling to God and created a gospel record filled with choirs. JIK was more of a gospel album than a hip hop album when compared to Ye’s other albums.

Throughout his music career, Kanye West has changed his musical style multiple times. He went from soul samples on TCD and LR to synth beats on Graduation and 808’s to high ego and minimalist beats on Yeezus. Kanye has been able to change his style and still create amazing music.
This goes to show how great of an artist Kanye is. He may be the only artist who is able to have multiple, unique music styles but still able to create a masterpiece. This is why Kanye West is easily one of the greatest music artists of all time, not just in hip hop. @kanyewest
