[b@squ1@t]

no big?

 

[ShaDynasty]

Kanye does collaborate on lyrics sometimes, I know Rhymefest and Consequence cowrote for him. In the Art Of Rap documentary he said that he wrote all of Twisted Fantasy, and i believe the same is probably true of Yeezus. You can kind of tell based on what hes rapping about, and his penchant for uncomfortable imagery/bad jokes.

 

[Real]

As an MC?

I can understand that.

It's not like he had him in his top 5 lyricists off all time
