not that you’d care but he was mentored by No ID who mainly produced tracks with Common.
it’s mainly the songs of his that get radio play that are sampled he’s produced a lot of tracks for artists such as Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam’ron, Paul Wall, Common, Mobb Deep, Jermaine Dupri, Scarface, The Game, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, John Legend.
if you want to complain about samples you should probably trash Daft Punk’s Discovery album, because every single track was sampled. the whole idea behind sampling (which daft punk clearly understands) is reintroducing great sounds folks would otherwise not hear.
yes he’s a d-bag, yes he’s arrogant, but while you don’t want to admit it he IS talented and has done reputable work according to other artists in the field.
