Better Artists/MC's Than Kanye West

[blackslash]

Quality, potency, depth, technique, really it's a long answer because his lyrics lack a lot. Even compared to a Jay Z, if you take Jay Z lyrics from Reasonable Doubt they will surpass every album Kanye has done on that basis. You can do this with NUMEROUS rappers projects, that's why he's lacking lyrical ability.

Those are not elements..
those are terms used to determine how u feel about how an artists uses the elements of lyricism..not actual elements


Its not a long answer its a simple question.

What elements is Kanye lacking in his lyrics when compared to other rappers

 

[blackslash]

Based off the work they have put out yes. Have you heard Canibus recent work? He's doing things nobody else has ever or will ever do again. Canibus may have a lot of faults but he takes his pen game very seriously. Pac was crafting classics in 20 minute sessions between filming Hollywood movies and smashing A list celebrities. You need to come better than this. @StillNotSoft can probably swat this stupid comparison much more eloquently than I could though

@StillNotSoft

Dis fck nikka jus said Canibus a better MC than Pac


How u feel homie

As far as content again what do u mean?

because throughout Kanye's discography Kanye has talked about a plethora of subjects

The importance of keeping family matters between family only
The reality that the nation's idea of how to attain the american dream is outdated
The role of Jesus in the lives of those oppressed by unpleasant situations
Gold diggers
Black Music and how its become America's "crack music"
The reality that everything that feels good to us ends up being an addiction that destroys us
The very real picture of blood diamonds
Chasing your dreams

and many more

SO i fail to see what exactly are u talking about

If you take Kanye's content then put the lyrics down for what he spoke about you will see the potency level isn't high compared to numerous other artists. You named 8 things, for many artists you can name 100's or 1000's even. Plus it's not just about quantity, it's about how it's done and if you compare you'll see what I mean. Didn't Nas and Lupe Fiasco do a song about blood diamonds, now if you compare the lyrics and potency of the work there you will see a huge and noticeable difference. If you fail to see you fail to see, you don't have to agree.

It's not about if Canibus is a better MC than Pac, in truth MANY would say he's a better EMCEE than Pac, I personally wouldn't be so quick to say that, but it's about if he's a better MC than Kanye, which is is.

How u feel homie

He is. Pac made the better music but you're tryna compare Kanye to Pac in this scenario which you can't do. Pac is still a great lyricist and emcee.

And i alrdy told u that ur answer doesnt contain elements

Merely terms of gauging your subjective reception towards an artist's use of the elements he uses in his lyrics


IM asking for what ELEMENTS does kanye lack in his lyrics compared to other rappers..

He is. Pac made the better music but you're tryna compare Kanye to Pac in this scenario which you can't do. Pac is still a great lyricist and emcee.
