I've always been a fan of his but really Kanye never struck me as a great rapper cause he isn't, even with all the co writers he's always had helping him and while he actually knows how to produce and make beats, that's where the version 2.0 comes in. Puffy was never the 1 behind the boards really producing except for Jodeci's "Come and Talk to Me" remix. But Puff always had his production crew The Hitmen producing the hits. Puff just had a pulse on what was hot, similar to Kanye. Kanye, outside of the soul sped up samples, has always had a handful of help with each and every album, specifically after The College Dropout

But at the end of the day, Kanye is just an upgraded Puffy :manny:

Kanye and puffy are nothing alike, to even compare the two musically is laughable

Both rely on a bunch of co-writers and of producers who actually make their music while they play conductor. Both are very self conscious about their clothes and about clothes period

Naw, I'd look at Puffy's like he's Ye's musical father lol

Puffy is basically Suge in the studio. He don't do shyt but rob people and put himself down as executive producer to steal royalties.

thats not true...

he understands rhythm and has an ear for music..

Beatmaking and actually fully understanding how to make a song hot is 2 different monsters

You know Puff was a musical visionary right?

So in that sense. You're correct.

Puff and Ye both also really know how to put together a solid cohesive album. They understand that well.


But ultimately Kanye is more musical. And has managed to stay ahead of the game for the majority of his career.. Probably the best ear in hip hop ever.

But as far as being artists, no. Jay Z is actually an MC, a lyricist and you know this. Puff on the other hand, not even. Come on, bruh


:stopitslime:

Of course Jay is more lyrical Isn't 2.0 an upgrade?


And Puffy never made beats on that level.
