User: Why is Kanye sometimes regarded the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)?
Assistant: Kanye Omari West ("Ye") is debated as being the GOAT by many in the hip hop scene due to his prolific and arguably genius utilization of samples in his production. Starting off as merely a producer for Roc a Fella records, he quickly rose to international acclaim with his debut record "The College Dropout". His freshman album topped the Billboard charts for a long stretch of time and featured absolutely iconic and inspired tracks such as "Jesus Walks", "Family Business", and of course "Through The Wire", the infamous track where Kanye provided vocals following a car crash that forced his jaw to be wired shut as a result.

Following his initial success, Kanye released banger after banger with "Late Registration" and his stadium album "Graduation". He followed on to release what many consider to be his magnum opus with "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" which received critical acclaim despite mixed reviews from popular internet music nerd Anthony Fantano.

Not to be stopped, Kanye was on the track to certified Godhood, dropping "808s and Heartbreak", a track that laid the foundation for artists like Juice WRLD, Frank Ocean, and The Weekend to discover their own sounds. Modern R&B really does have Kanye to thank.

His discography continues with the controversial "Yeezus", "The Life of Pablo", "Ye", and "Kids See Ghosts". The latter of which even internet music melon Anthony Fantano awarded an unprecedented 10. Despite a decline in the quality of his recent releases with "Jesus is King" and "Donda", the insane influence Kanye has had upon the music industry and the hip hop / production scene at large can not be understated. His resume alone speaks for itself and is a jarring indictment of him being in contention for the title of GOAT.

Despite heated debate and a multitude of haters, ultimately, many fans simply suffice to speak the undeniable truth "He made Graduation".
