I do agree though that Kanye is overhyped as a producer just because he is the only one producing in that style at the moment, and I don't believe that Kanye is the best producer in the music business or anything like that. But his new album is still great.

But Kany is being credited with branching out, and encorporating different musical genres into his own. When he branches out fully, and can make a full-fledged album of a complete other genre, then you get that name of pioneering cross-genres, as he is being called by many publications.
It's a great record, sure, but do I think he will forever change the soundscape of music on the path he is now? No.
