    3. Finding his niche in speeding up samples.

    Everyone knows that Kanye West is the King of sampling music. From Daft Punk to Etta James to Marvin Gaye, Kanye went where other hip-hop artists didn't even know existed. His unique style of speeding up the samples made him sound fresh, was getting him noticed on production he was doing for local artists, and is often credited with reviving Jay Z's career.
