'The College Dropout'

In 50 years, what will Kanye West's legacy be?

In the 1980s, did everyone know that Run DMC would be so celebrated?

West is clearly one of the most original, self-aware, innovative and progressive hip-hop artists of all time and I believe his legacy and reputation is already being solidified three or four albums in.
Along with all this, he's entirely digestable. Even for white folks. Maybe especially for white folks.

He seems to clear less for album sales as much as he cares about rhyming about album sales. He's part fashionista, MC and trend setter.
