why do people throw Kanye in their Top 5 with the likes of Nas, Jay, Pac, Big, etc....

[Spurs91]

He dont even produce his own shyt anymore never mind about writing. He is average at best imo and his albums are way overrated

 

[The Bookie]

The question you should be asking yourself is, why do those four get thrown in with the likes of Kanye when his discography is stratospherically above theirs?

 

[DStyles]

Yea and its widely known around these parts, no secret at all... I just wonder, why ?

Because his catalog is better than those.

 

[blackestofpanthers]

Where he falls short as a rapper, he makes up for as an artist.

Because he fails as a rapper in hip hop since he doesn't write his rhymes nor has elite flow or delivery, there has to be a special set of rules to prop him up. Only guy in the history of hip hop this is used for.
If you're gonna use bs justifications then you must have dr.dre higher than kanye, correct?
Dr. dre has unquestionably made better music, helped deliver more classics, and has done more for hip hop.

Dr.dre》》》》》》》》》 kanye as an artist, right?

[osama bin fly]

also the inferior/superior sign is right on your keyboard you retard

 

[toomanydoses]

Cause he's a huge name and people don't listen to enough rap to even have a valid opinion. That's for anyone putting him in their top 5 its one or the other. He is innovative as a producer, not inventive and we've already gone over the MCing part.

 

[DPG4Life]

the only people who do this are people who have a shallow taste in music

 

[Harry B]

When was the last time Kanye made some of the "best music" ?

According to the reviewers that would be his last album.
According to anyone who knows shyt about music it would be the one before that.

exactly. Its all catalog with me. All his albums range from good to classic. I couldn't justify not having him in my personal top 5 when I fukk with everything he's dropped. I can't say that about any other rapper..even nikkas that I feel are better than him...And I never understood people saying he can't rap. To each his own tho

 

[Mac Casper]

Because people with Biggie in their top 5 have no credibility . . and thus, Kanye would look right there

 

[frush11]

Most overrated artist in the history of modern music.

He's good, no where near great

Just my opinion

 

[Apex]

It's all about age. I'm 16, and obviously I'm not going to have the same top-5 as someone who's 35.

change the title to : Why do CACS

@ Kanye having a better catalog than Nas or Jay
With the amount of classics those 2 got
His catalog might be more consistent... & even then he only has half the # of albums
