He doesn't write all of his own lyrics and he doesn't produce his own beats by himself either. What separates current Kanye from Dr. Dre as an artist/MC?

The legendary KRS-One talking about Kanye West...

"Ignorance and arrogance seem to go together"

I'm not sure how some people can legitimately think Kanye is a top 10 when there are artists like...

KRS-One
2 Pac
Rakim
Nas
Jay Z
Biggie
Scarface
Big Pun
Guru
Common

And many others who are significantly better.

Like how is he even a top 5 other than the GOAT?

Cause he's not in the same league as artists like KRS-One, Nas, Jay, 2 Pac, Rakim etc.

It doesn't even sound like the same genre cause they are so much better than him. Kanye isn't even a 2nd tier MC.

Mobb Deep have 2 albums better than any Kanye album.

Genuinely believe this is better than any Kanye song...

How does an artist manage to get so overrated? Is it a case of people buying into self hype, lack of knowledge about Hip Hop, brainwashing and manipulation, or due to fame? Or trying to idolize something they can't be? To make themselves feel better?

Kanye is overrated.

Very true, when you actually compare the music it isn't close. He isn't close to a lot of people. Calling the wrong people genius's, as MC's anyway, cause he's a good producer, even though I've recently discovered he didn't produce some of what I felt was his best beats.

Nah, he spit that a couple of years after he took her hot line and made it into a hot song.

You can't seriously compare anything Kanye spit on that song to what Lauryn did on Mystery Of Iniquity. Wanna post both set of lyrics? Lol.
