After watching that Kanye BBC interview...

This is actually legit. Only thing I don't agree with is him birthing self confessional rap. I would say Tupac did that, or Jay with BP1.

U gotta take the good w/the bad tho. Yeazle also fathered the out of control ego, the wifing up of professional slores (I see u Wiz, I see u Tyga), half-baked "art rap" and "experimentation" (I see u Jay, I see u Guitar Weazle), and the whole idea that u dont have to be nice at rapping, as long as u have the right story and look like you are trying really hard (the whole rap game). I would put dude's contributions to the game since 808s in the net negative overall, as huge as they might have been.

By his third album Tupac was trying to kill hisself, Biggie's first album is essentially a cry for help.
Kanye just made less manly versions of what Tupac, Biggie and a whole lot of other rappers have been doing since 'The message'.
