I never thought he was a 'genius' and never got why people did.

He is not my favourite rapper nor my favourite producer. His career went to shyt when he moved away from his usual collaborators and his music went to hell.

Watching his documentary it seems his mom first started the 'he is a genius' stuff and he just followed.

People act like he did so,thing magical but at the end of the day he is just another musician who made a product

Jay Z: Rapper then started selling products which made more money

Dr Dre: Rapper / product who started selling products which made more money

Rihanna: Singer who started selling products which made more money

Diddy : Rapper who started selling stuff / managing talent which made more money


I see nothing unique about him frankly other than unlike his peers he is mentally ill.... hence the 'genius' outbursts. However he is a rapper producer who made a shoe like many before him.......

He's no genius..where?? Tell us where he's a genius..

And I pride myself in not messing with him when you all rode his dikk during his early albums..he was corny to me, and sounded forced as a rapper..just not genuine, good or interesting enough for my liking.

Aiight now. I understand we threw c00nye in the bushes but to act like this man isn't one of the most creative musical minds of the last 30 years is being disingenuous. There was a point in time where you couldn't even turn on the radio without hearing somebody rapping over one of his beats. And not just rappers. He was lacing rnb singers with dope tracks too. His musical ear was genius level.

He fathered an entire generation of rappers with 808s and heartbreaks. That album was unlike anything we had ever heard.

Dude said it was a choice to be a slave. Y’all can call him all u want, but the simplest, most accurate description for him is dumbass. But I feel bad saying that cause it seems no one cares enough about dude to have a honest conversation with him on some “dude, text me first before u say anything publicly”. I’ll let I know if it’s safe to send. Not every rambling voice in ur head needs to make appearances in the real world. Keep that sh1t to yourself or ur diary (made of paper - no technical gadgets u fucckwit)
