Yeah, but how did OutKast "killing" gangsta hip hop when their last release was in 2003, the same year 50 Cent was dominating with his gangsta music and image? Kanye didn't start to really have true impact on the genre until maybe 2007 and you can argue that the likes of Soulja Boy and all those ATL/southern acts had a huge impact on the decline of gangsta rap before Kanye did.
It's a cool song imo. White Noise & Confess to Me though >>>>>
