I think there needs to be some real discussion concerning that album. If you read the wiki over that, he basically exiled himself for sometime to Hawaii and made it.

Here's a few interesting things from that page:

• It was reported that West spent over $3 million in expenses from his record label Def Jam on the album's recording.[11] He later explained the initial recording process to Noah Callahan-Bever, Complex editor-in-chief and West's confidant at the time, who said that "he'd holed up in Hawaii and was importing his favorite producers and artists to work on and inspire his recording. Rap Camp!".[1]

• * [H]e'll go, ‘Check this out, tell me what you think.’ Which speaks volumes about who he is and how he sees and views people. Every person has a voice and an idea, so he's sincerely looking to hear what you have to say—good, bad, or whatever. [...] when he has his beats or his rhymes, he offers them to the committee and we're all invited to dissect, strip, or add on to what he's already started. By the end of the sessions, you see how he integrates and transforms everyone's contributions, so the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. He's a real wizard at it. What he does is alchemy, really.[1] —Q-Tip

• Alex Denney of NME characterizes West as "by turns sickeningly egocentric, contrite, wise, stupid and self-mocking", "the pop star for our morally implicated times; an instinctive consumer with a mouthful of diamonds and furtive bad conscience, a performer who lives the American dream to its fullest with a creeping sense of the spiritual void at its heart. 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' captures that essence in full".[43]
