I love Kanye West. I think he's a visionary. He's one of those people for whom I separate his personality from his artistry.

Drake, I'd like to collaborate with. He's a phenomenal lyricist. Probably the best rapper in the world at the moment. I love Kanye but there's something about Drake; he's more straight up, really clever and really poetic and metaphorical - I love that. He's just clever.

I think that Eminem is very talented and remarkably bright, and I actually do like a lot of his music.

I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.

The work ethic behind everything Kanye does is crazy. It's greatness. He told me, 'We're not just rappers, we're artists.'

As a crew, G.O.O.D. Music is taking it to levels that really haven't been done collectively. Kanye is someone who knows how to make classic albums, a true thinker. He got me in the mindset of being a true thinker and always planning out every move you got going.

I like Kanye, and I care about him.

Much as my Boomer friends will hate me for saying this, Kanye West is the New Dylan. Not only do Kanye's best lyrics match Dylan's prescience, highly inventive word-play and genius for storytelling, his indefatigable cockiness eerily channels Muhammad Ali.

I am the biggest Kanye and Jay Z fan.

I just respect Kanye as an artist.
