What makes Kanye a genius

[vaudevillevillain]

I would have believed this if he didn't drop Girl and turn himself into a meme with that big ass Dirty Dan/ Pinhead Larry hat

U nigras have no appreciation. I don't even wanna think what would hip hop be without a Kanye West or Pharrell Williams

Base a person's musical/cultural value off album sales and current relevancy brehs

 

[vaudevillevillain]

Kangay Zest aka Prostate Monche aka Sticky Anal-Fingaz aka Bruce Bruce Jenner 3rd greatest strength is being smart enough to know that without the GOAT stimulus package aka a verse from the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd he wouldn't be shyt

Kimye Kartrashian aka Koonye West aka Zzzeeus aka Yawnye Zzzest 2nd best strength is not being such a homotional fukk boy that he stops doing tracks with the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd even when he's taken more L's to Hov than Tyga has to life

But Stefanye's greatest strength is knowing when the fukk to not allow himself & his Casper conglomerate to botch a classic record by leaving the song in their hands instead of giving the beat to the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd

Yooooooooo

 

[dish lowry]

he's got a crazy work ethic & the way he's improved from the mid/late 90s to now is impressive

at Fat Beats in 96 performing in front of 10 people



one of the first major artists he produced for

[Cat piss martini]

nikka please

I remember a time when no two rappers could sound
alike or the one who copied the one that came before
him was clowned and wrote off as a biter and garbage.
A time where you needed more than a camera phone,
good lighting and a ass to be called a model.
A time where you had to do something of substance
to be called a celebrity.......
Maybe it's this generation of unexceptionals

So Kanye does nothing of substance now?

Hell yeah he has!!!!!!!!

His wife ain't

 

[African Peasant]

Pharrell is a genius and Kanye was inspired by Pharrell

I'm not sure either. Without CHAD, that nikka music became funny in the light...

 

[Diondon]

Last three albums were

 

[Colilluminati]

Call me a rapper?


Anyways, what rappers did kanye spark? Nobody out here tryna sound like that nikka.

College Dropout
Late Regstration
Graduation

Kanye is an original artist

We all agree he has talent , but where's the genius ?

 

[B-Mint94]

He's a very talented producer but yeah the whole "genius" thing is a stretch.

 

[Eternal Tecate]

Not a genius

Average ass rapper. If anybody else spit his bars nobody would be praising them. Not to mention that he don't even write his shyt.

0 classic albums. I thought college dropout was a classic when i a was younger but really that shyt kinda overrated, just like the rest of his discography. Now I'm not saying his shyt is trash, but nikkas will have you believing he's dropped nonstop 5/5 albums when his best shyt is a 4/5.

influence. I hear that "he's so influential" shyt all the time, it's already been said in here. nikkas is not rapping like kanye, he is not that influential. nikkas out here like Wayne and gucci, nobody tryna be like kanye. You wanna say he influenced that autotune, naw that's Wayne. You wanna see he influenced the weirdo shyt, naw that's 3000. Point to some shyt that changed strictly because of him, i can't find it.

His name > his music and it's been that way for a while.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Call me one rapper that sparked as many new rappers as Kanye

Call me a rapper that has 7, all different sounding, critically and commercially succesful albums

Call me a rapper who always tries to push the boundaries in hip hop instead of going the safe route

Call me a rapper that puts songs together better than Runaway, Power, Lost in The World, Blood on the Leaves. His songs are like movies

Kanye is a living legend, and yes, if you have a discography like his, you are indeed a genius. That he's married to Kim, or saying pathetic things on Twitter doesnt take anything away from that. People love to hate

but for a genius... he's getting A LOT of help.. and i'm a ye fan


blindfold him, put him in a record shop, and let him chop up and make a beat like havoc.... that's more genius than you and 20 of your friends putting together a track






ironically, havoc is the one who did the drums on new friends... but search rhythm roulette... you'll find lots of producers on here doing this... i've never once seen ye make a beat from scratch

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

We throw around the word genius too much here..

A genius does things like cures diseases, or invents things that revolutionize the world.

Kanye makes leather jogging pants and married a reality tv whore. And his discog isnt nearly as great as some people here say. Hes a narcissist and an embarassment to the community. He doesnt even write or produce half of his own shyt.

Save the term genius for ACTUAL fukking geniuses.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

0 classic albums.

I agree. Hes got classsic singles and classic beats. But hes never put together a album i think of as classic. Most overrated mc ever
