Kanye is fucking amazing because he doesnt do just the basic loop of a good old hook, but takes pieces of other songs let slone that one line and combines them. Sampling is a fucking art, and these songs you listed are basic loops that I can throw together in like 10 minutes. And I don't consider myself anywhere near pro status where I would put cats like Just Blaze or RZA. word.
