He is the total package.

Closes thing to pac that we currently have and im not saying that to be funny i truly think he has great leadership qualities.

If only jayz had those type of leadership qualities he would be unstoppable :lawd: but hes a bandwaggon fakkit :smh:

Kanye is the GOAT female emcee for sure :troll:

Maybe as an overall artist. But as an emcee? Not at all. He's basically a better version of Dr. Dre. Which isn't a bad thing.

I just have a hard time saying kanye is the greatest rapper :manny:

I mean to me, without a doubt Ye is the greatest rap artist ever. From him being a great rapper, to the production, the songwriting, the discography is incredible. Everything really, the dudes got it. His flaws are balanced out by where he excels. I guess its sort of a "He exceeds rap" (:skip: I hate saying that) type of thing. He'll never be branded with the greatest rapper of all time title, but he'll be in the conversation for musician.

This.

He has surpassed just being a rapper...really when talking about Ye, he's more in line with being a complete artists now with concepts, execution, etc.

LOL what is a "complete artist". Is Incubus, Limp Bizkit, and Korn better than The Beatles cause they rap and rock? Is Nelly better than Jay cause he does rap and country music? Is Cody Chestnutt better than Marvin Gaye cause he made his beats and sang?

Kanye is a good musician but this man got yall thinking he is some artist savant. Yall really confuse pop culture impact and the music which is sad.

GOAT song making abilities
GOAT beats
GOAT charisma
good lyrics
diversity
impact / influence


Premo? Dre? Neptunes? Timbaland? Rza?
Charisma? LOL and even if so, Tupac? Biggie?
good lyrics? He doesn't write most of them
diversity? :usure: so yall just gone make up categories now
impact/ influence? That has nothing to do with the music, only his status as a pop culture icon

Didn't mean GOAT in a literal sense

wrote most of mbdtf his most lyrical album

Diversity as in switching it up and changing styles how is that a made up category lol

being a icon is a part of being labeled a great

Doesn't he have ghostwriters?

When you have had other people write your shyt, it takes away from the "but but he's an artist doe" argument, and does he even produce anymore? John legend said no

He can't be GOAT if he's releasing a Black Skinhead remix with Miley Cyrus.
Nope.
