What makes Kanye a genius

[Surreal]

Nikkas in here openly downing Kast and Mike..ban worthy shyt

 

[Johnny Joestar]

Kanye is a genius to white guys who put Kanye and weezer in the same playlist but couldn't tell you who Rakim or Big Daddy Kane is

Other than that it's all marketing. The big magazines like Spin, Rolling stone, billboard (run by the guys who I just described) putting him on the cover in Jesus thorned crowns

The mashed potato brained masses just follow what popular opinion is, so therefore he's a genius now

If the masses followed popular opinion, Kanye wouldnt be popular at all

Do you see how the Media treats Kanye and his family? nikka could give props to someone and there'd be news stories about how bad a person he is because of it. He's vilified by most and loved by few.

I got into this debate with a bro of mines who is a Kanye Stan and he was very passionate that Kanye is a genius but. I gotta be Honest I think Kanye only has three good albums

Not sure what planet you live on, but on this one he sells out arenas, does fashion shows in the garden, and commands headlines with every move he makes

You don't do that if you're unpopular. You're confusing him being a polarizing figure with his popularity, the two are separate.

Klownye's a genius for having the sheeps believe he's actually God Gift to Humanity

all erroneous statements

They aren't erroneous. Kanye's biggest stans love throwing around Metacritic reviews and awards, etc. Well, Kast has a Grammy for Album of the Year and Stankonia is still rated higher than any Kanye album.

Both members of OutKast write their own music. They both produce. Andre 3000 plays instruments. Andre 3000 can feature on a song today and it still get more buzz than some people's albums. People put dude in Top 10's and he doesn't even have a proper solo album.

I'd argue that Aquemini is better produced than anything Kanye has put out on the strength of "Spottieottiedopalicious" alone.

You guys are being hella delusional ITT ...

I think you guys are going off of his current situation...

Kanye west is VERY influential and y'all acting like this nikka is a scrub or some shyt bruh...

name somebody that has produced as many hits as this nikka?
Kanye West production discography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


YALL GOT THE NERVE TO SAY THIS nikka IS WACK?...

I DO music so I'm gonna actually explain to y'all non talent having ass nikkas what makes ye a genius... ol' arm chair quarterback ass nikkas

COLLEGE DROPOUT- "chipmunk soul sample sound evolving what Pete Rock and dilla did and making it his own... Kanyes drums weren't as good as Pete but his ear for the samples was amazing.." Now during this time fashion wise...all y'all nikkas was wearing throwbacks, baggy jeans and timbs..fubu and Da.Da still.. But ye came out wearing the Ralph Lauren polos and jeans that didn't look like the bottom half of your body was being devoured by a denim monster.. nikkas at my school went from wearing tall tees to polos..

LATE REGISTRATION-"chipmunk soul samples but this time Kanye added strings and live instrumentation.. Pushing his sound into a more grandiose direction.. Also fashion wise he was still doing the polos and jeans that actually fit you..

GRADUATION-chipmunk soul samples+ alternative rock, European rock, and house samples.. Combined with the strings from late registration AND now synths to give this album a STADIUM sound... Of y'all can't see the genius and the progression y'all nikkas just don't know good music..Also this nikka destroyed the hyper masculine dusty baggy Jean and tomb wearing champion "50 cent".... He was y'all last hope...but sadly...Kanye ended this nikka...and he's never been the same since...he's an Instagram gangster now...r.i.p 50 cent (p.s in da club was my shyt and GRODT....whew*)

Also during this time fashion wise my nikkas was rocking the shutter shades which nikkas wanted until white people ran those into the ground and they became wack... The keyiffeh scarfs which everybody started wearing (looking at you carter 3 era Wayne , looking at you blueprint 3 era Jay) and red monkeys...

808s- couple samples but majority synths and 808s not a lot of traditional snares ...and of course... AUTOTUNE.. But when ye uses autotune he actually uses it as an instrument..this album Lowkey influenced how music sounds....RIGHT NOW...and it birthed DRAKE (he will tell you that..40 even admits it) pretty much every beat you hear right now with the dark production, minor synth chords ..808s, non traditional snares and claps... Say..."thank you Kanye " also fashion wise he was rocking the wool suits and some bathing ape...nikka was fitted af...


MBDTF- this was a combination of literally EVERYTHING YE HAS EVER MADE this is his MAGNUM OPIS.. A timeless album I can't even begin to describe how lush and how amazing the production on this album is... Also the nikka was rocking the red leather suit with the Horus chain...fitted af
WTT-same type of production as MBDTF plus he was holding his own with Jay sometimes

YEEZUS (yes it's debatable if it's wack or not) if you say it's wack I won't try to convince it wasn't ...I like certain cuts..blood on the leaves..on sight..bound 2
TLOP-same...





TLDR; THE nikka HAS 21 GRAMMYS, PRODUCED FOR EVERYBODY FROM HIP HOP TO RNB TO POP, CHANGED HOW nikkaS DRESSED IN HIP HOP (no more baggy jeans and timbs) KEPT HOVS MUSICAL RELEVANCY, GAVE THE CAREERS OF

BIG SEAN
JOHN LEGEND
KID CUDI
CYHI
MR HUDSON

REVITALIZED THE CAREERS OF

COMMON
PUSHA T
TITTY BOI
MOS DEF

GAVE BIRTH TO

DRAKE (sound wise)
ASAP ROCKY (fashion wise)
CHILDISH GAMBINO (sound wise)
J COLE (nikkas whole career has been trying to recreate the college dropout)
ODD FUTURE (Earl and Tyler worship Kanye)

AND COUNTLESS OTHERS..

KANYE IS A GENIUS AND HAS CHANGED HIP HOP FOR THE fukkING BETTER TOO

A lot of this is re-writing history. For starters, there's a lot of producers who have more hits than Kanye West:

Billboard’s Top 10 Producers Of The Decade

^^^ That's just last decade and doesn't include other eras.

Kanye West didn't revitalize Titty Boi's career and you saying so just shows how out of the loop you are. Titty Boi transitioned from Titty Boi to 2Chainz before anyone had even heard "Mercy". If you don't know "Keisha" or "Ridin' Around & Getting It", you shouldn't even be bringing dude up.

All of this is accurate
