Who says a Kanye record that was "just Kanye being Kanye," rapping and throwing around beats, wouldn't be a necessary part of the Kanye West story? The problem is that it makes me wonder if the end isn't near for Kanye in one way or another.

I honestly don't think the Beatles "influenced" anyone so much as the way they influenced Jerry Garcia, to pick up music and start bands. In regards to their "sound" i just don't hear any significant influence as you can with other more overt sonic pioneers.
