Page "Electronica" Paragraph 15

A variety of other hip hop performers used electronica-influenced sounds as hooks in their songs.

Outkast, a popular and acclaimed hip hop duo, adopted sounds in their 2003 hit single " Hey Ya " and member / producer Andre Benjamin praised the music of Squarepusher.

In 2007 Kanye West, initially known for more natural sounding hip hop productions influenced by classic R & B music, released his third album Graduation, which featured some songs with a sharp electronic aesthetic, a sound which greatly expanded on West's latest album, where he emphasized synthesizer and vocal manipulations prominently and cited major influences from 1980s synthpop music, as well as from T-Pain, a hip-hop performer known for manipulating his voice by using the electronic effect processor Autotune.

However, West's 2007 single " Stronger " used a prominent sample from a song by the French dance-oriented electronic act Daft Punk, whose work in the 1990s and early 2000s was also becoming highly sampled and influential on the musical aesthetic of acts in other genres such as indie rock and indie dance.
