Kanye West falling off as a producer

Outside his recent production hit with Drake's "Find Your Love" he is falling off big time, and his beat on that song is underwhelming... the success of that song lies in the suprising Drake sung vocal. I first noticed the decrease in quality when the 808's demos starting leaking and nothing snice then has done anything to change my mind. He is getting increasingly better as a rapper and needs to start outsourcing beats from other producers... it is criminal that he hasn't appeared on a Kane Beatz production thus far, as he absolutely killed the 40-produced 'Forever' posse cut, as well as killing it Keri Hilson's 'Knock You Down' and Beyonce's 'Ego (Remix)' last year. As he is now releasing a new song of his own production work every Friday it is becoming painfully obvious that he is now a production nobody. His newest release Monster should be a tour de force of 2010 rap boasting Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Nicki Minaj who are all enjoying a prime... but after a few listens all I can muster is a "meh." If they were on a Drumma Boy beat this song would be on heavy rotation right now. Same with last week's 'Power (Remix)' which I actually think is the best of the bunch and better than the original single, or at least more 2010 sounding, but still unimpressive production wise. Though it is a little hot when he throws the grunge over Jay's Axl Rose quip. But when he goes off at the end, in an amazing breathless mega-verse, the underlying production sounds like some shit off of a random mixtape. Nicki Minaj is on a major hot streak with her features, but her solo singles continue to underwhelm, and if she is going to get K-West production for her album as many speculate then she will soon fall out of favor.
