All of the tracks Kanye produced alone on his albums, a thread
The College Dropout was Kanye's debut album, his chance to prove himself to the masses. Maybe that's why he solo produced EVERY song but one. Last Call also gives credit to Evidence for production. 20/21 tracks solo produced by Ye.
Late Registration is known for its beautifully orchestrated moments. This is due to composer Jon Brion, who appears on 11/21 tracks. Touch The Sky was solo produced by Just Blaze. Kanye only produced 9/21 tracks solo.
Graduation has only a handful of solo produced tracks, however this is when we start seeing the legendary Mike Dean appear on producer credits. 5/13 of the tracks were done by Kanye alone.
808s & Heartbreak was almost entirely produced by Kanye alone. Only Love Lockdown and Pinnochio Story have another person with production credits. Its incredible that all the orchestrated moments were done by him, even more so that the album was finished in weeks.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy shows a huge drop in solo produced tracks. This is an album that Kanye wanted to make perfect, so he always had his studio filled with great producers, writers, and artists. He solo produced two incredible beats, All Of The Lights and Runaway.
Yeezus has just one track solo produced. Daft Punk has production credits on a lot of the tracks, which makes sense given the experimental sound of the album. The solo produced track is New Slaves, so we can give credit to Kanye for the amazing outro.
The Life Of Pablo has two tracks, but they aren't even really tracks. One is Siiiiiiiiilver Surffffeeeeer Intermission, and the other is I Love Kanye. That's strange for a Kanye album that long to have so few solo produced tracks.
Ye, despite being in the era of Kanye solo producing albums for other artists, isn't completely solo produced by him. He made the beat for Yikes, Wouldn't Leave, and No Mistakes alone. 3/7 is much lower than expected for this time period.
A first in his career, Jesus Is King has no tracks solo produced by Kanye. Every track has credits from another artist, with On God even having another producers tag on it. (I'm almost positive that's a first in Kanye's career as well)
