I'd have said yes if he retired after MBDTF... but everything that was released after that has been absolute garbage.
Not everything was garbage. I personally never cared for Yeezus like a lot of people. Pablo was unorganized with some good songs and others sounding like WTF. Ye was too short and only half the songs were decent. JIK wasn’t my thing. I did like Donda minus maybe 5 songs (it was a double album though). I hated Donda 2. Vultures 1 was ok. Vultures 2 was trash.

He doesn’t Kanye destroyed his career and rendered his old music unlistenable for many and unlicensable for generations to come.

The run he’s on currently which is part of his discography is WOAT and full of huge flops.

He’s also not a “genius”. His genius in the past was his ability to package and brand. Dude had a lot of ghost creatives behind his music and fashion. We called this nikka a genius for spitting ghostwritten raps over often times straight loops of old classic records and for making earth tones and hobo clothes pop. :russ:

Nowhere near Jay and doesn’t exist without him. Perhaps if it wasn’t for Jay he’s a regular guy with a nice apartment in Chicago that had a decent run in the 2000’s as a producer or with an decent clothing line and not the fukking lunatic he became.

Jay is clearly the better rapper

But discography against discography, Kanye might be the one.

Jay disco has a LOT of holes in it.

This like saying Dr. Dre has better catalog than Biggie.
You can argue that as well. It does not mean that Dre is a better rapper than BIG tho

Better discog means to me all encompassing solo effort sans production, which if we included, would be light years ahead of jay.

But its not question kanye has better bodies of music than jay. Only jay albums of value to me are reasonable doubt, blueprint, and american gangster.

I take into consideration features also and jay got that by a mile but Kanye has like 5 classics

Kanye from 04-10 all classics. He's out out 2t years of ass juice since and become a joke of a person.

Hov hasn't had an album in 8 years yet he gets threads made about him daily. Hov is the standard

TheBooth ain't the standard

Kanye got more internet clout than Jay
Kanye is even a bigger pop icon than Jay at this point
