Kanye would be top 10 all time if he wrote his raps

[EBK String]

got like 3-4 classics
got hits out the ass
the most influential of his generation
quotables

He checks every box

 

[DaveyDave]

His lyrics are borderline shytty anyway tho. He’s never been an amazing lyricist, not even in the top 5 producer/rappers IMO evening you ignore ghostwriters.

something is wrong if the alleged ghostwriters cant write their own classics...

He puts it all together like Dre does. He is a producer in the truest sense.

R&b singers are judged by a different criteria than emcees

 

[Sauce Dab]

I don’t think Kanye tried to be the greatest rapper he wanted to be the greatest artist in general, no genre. So he gets judged different

He still has the classic and influence who cares

Kanye definitely wanted to be the greatest rapper. This dude was talking about comparing his rhymes to Illmatic and stunted about not writing his lyrics on paper. Not to mentioned he bragged about being Top 5 on "Barry Bonds".

I'd be a Top 10 Painter of all time if Van Gogh didn't ghost-paint for me

That was early in his career. Things changed when he said Michael Jackson complimented him on his singing and he never looked back

False equivalence. Period.

He wasn’t writing then either. He was cappin. Lol

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Kanye was never a great rapper. He peaked as a MC during Graduation however

 

[spliz]

Kanye was never dope at rapping. He has had some dope verses tho. Never would’ve been a top 10 rapper regardless.
