Kanye has influenced rap music more than any artist SINCE he came out.


no he hasnt.

not even close.

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.


that explains why those albums suck and he hasnt made a good album in close to 8 years.

Exactly, having a rapper who admittedly has had ghost writers his entire career in your top 5 :heh:
The song writing credits look like a damn movie credits on his albums credits

and the worst part is, the bars still dont even really be hot.

:laugh:

Who got more classics then ye

ye aint got no classics.

:pachaha:

Also it's not just about how many people you influence, but if you influence them positively or not and in this case if they turn into great artists, Hitler influenced millions of Nazi's and racists but does that make him GOAT human being? Lol.

MBDTF is one of the most overrated albums of all time. I wonder if Kanye paid the magazines for that rating, wouldn't put it past him.

The bars were poor, he's not really saying shyt most of the time.

At least back in the day it sounded like it was him, and sounded more authentic and believable. Now it sounds like a weird ego maniacal type episode lol.

chris rock knows more about hip hop than 90% of u cornballs questioning his knowledge. dude grew up on it and used to go to a lot of those famous and now legendary jams in the park in the 70's and early 80's. was gonna be a dj at one point while he was still figuring out what he was gonna do with his life. has spoken on hip hop all the time in interviews waaaaay back in the early 90's. trust me, chris rock knows his isht. even that 25 albums he broke down, u may not agree with his rankings but he was perceptive about all 25 albums he named.

i dont believe his voice, delivery, flow is even good let alone great. as far as mc talent, hes a more dedicated puffy. thats putting lyrics or ghostwriter talk aside.

THIS breaks it down to a T. perfectly put.

hes a glorified/more dedicated puffy.

how did we get to the point where a puff daddy is crackin top 5 emcee lists?

kanye is better than puffy come on keep it real. i think college dropout and late registration had interesting things to say in relatively sophisticated ways. graduation and yeezus are poor lyrically. mbdtf is good. and 808s is good. puffy a pretty horrible lyricist. kanye aint anywhere near top 25 mc for me but i think in most top 5 lists its better to look at it not as best mc but best rap artist. so those 5 bake the best rap art. on some straight mc isht 2 pac wouldnt be there, scarface wouldnt be there. kanye wouldnt be thre. only j and rakim would be.

yea, hes better than puff, but not by much.

the bolded is why hes so overrated. just say that you like what kanye raps about more than a puff. and then on the flipside, theres people that dont like his stuff but wont say anything negative about him because its taboo to critique conscious or so-called conscious rappers. lets be real, if kanye had a different gimmick, he wouldnt get half the props that he gets, and probably wouldve never got a deal.

no way out >>>> anything kanye will ever make.

puff isnt a horrible lyricist. hes not a lyricist at all. he doesnt even write.........but he had better ghostwriters than kanye tho.
