it's true that sometimes Kanye gets help from others with a few lines.
i know that Rhymefest co-wrote Jesus Walks, Consequence probably co-wrote Champion and Lupe helped him with Black Skinhead.
"I didn't write my raps down for my first four albums - like all, I did it from the head straight to the booth," he said. "But on this last album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I wrote it because I really put myself in the zone that my life was dependent on the success of this album. With that being the case, I said, 'You know what? No matter what anybody says about me, I can write something that can make someone that hates me the most have to really respect or love the song.' So even a song like 'Power,' I spent 5,000 hours writing it, and it's really the psychology behind the lyrics; it's not just blatantly, 'I've got all the powers' - [it's] 'No one man should have all that power.' It's word[ed] it in a really sensitive way that opens it up for everyone."
also on Barry Bonds he said:
"I don't need writers, I might bounce ideas
But only I could come up with some shit like this"
