Which song?
Pretty sure he helped out on Jesus walks

more like the entire song was his
Rapper Che Smith, who goes by the stage name Rhymefest, wrote this song with West. In the February 24, 2006 Guardian newspaper, he said: "Kanye and I grew up together. I found a gospel song by a choir of reformed drug addicts in New York. Even though I'm not a Christian it moved me and the beat was kinda like a rap groove. We jacked the whole song but it came to life when Kanye added the army sounds and made it like God's soldiers. Then the writing began. If you make the verses about Jesus it takes away the power of the chorus, so the verses were the sinner speaking. We got the '******' sound from a Curtis Mayfield song. When we write together we'll listen to a beat and I'll come up with a line and he'll flip it around into something else, then I'll add more lines and before you know it we got a song. Kanye will remember each way we flipped it; he has an ability to memorize. I look at it like this: that was not my record and not Kanye's record; that was a record from the creator to his creations. I'm grateful."

I honestly didnt know who Rhymefest was until you cats brought him up in this thread. Dont mean to disrespect a legend if he is one
He has some pretty dope music as well, I'm not sure if he's still actively making music but back then he was one of the better conscious rappers who would stunt on songs from time to time
It was Blue Collar, that was a great album but it was slept on. Kanye had a few joints on theirThat Man in the Mirror tape was cool, I forgot the name of the debut album but it had a couple cool tracks on it too
Ye bout to bring that
So if his album fire
Y’all gonna disregard his MAGA moment?
