i second the user above. KanYe may be using the auto-tune but it works for him and it is a bit different from others who use it. the production is strong and lyrics are meaningful. . .they hit strong because its what he is going through with all that he has experience within the last year. (mother pasting away, separating with his wife, etc) emotions can be felt through music which is why we listen. i'm sure he won't sing on every song. he should know better not to release a whole album with just singing. regardless even if it was i'm picking up the album haha!!
