  2. l.e.s. killed it. all kanye did was speed up the track and vocals like most of his soul samples

  3. Yeah, Imma have to go with L.E.S. I've always loved that beat he did for Nas. Dunklinstreet is right. All Kanye did was speed up the track.

  4. Not realy a fair question becuz the instrumental posted for les is not the actual instrumental, its just a crude loop. if u listen to nas's song their are drops, a horn or flute sound and sum more instruments. the instrumental of his u got posted is just some loop that someone else did, not the actual instrumental that les produced. with that being said i love both beats. kanye put alot of creativity behind the percussion aspect of the beat and some of his drops while les's original version (not the one posted) is real soulful...

  5. L.E.S. all the way. One of the most underrated producers in the game. Kanye is dope but in 2003 not at his best...

  6. two great songs...
    kanye's breakdown is killer. both are dope. basically the same beat, and each has its own thing that makes it good. kanye had the ill drums and breakdown, les had that nice flute and the record sound
