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

Even tho Jay my GOAT

Kanye's catalog gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more play from me

His catalog's replayablity is way too great to recognize his legendary contributions to the game

This correct, and Dre definitely better than Kanye. And lol at where he falls short as a rapper, this is RAP music lol..
Dre is not better than Kanye. Kanye has penned classic songs nikkas act like he's never wrote a song in his life. :snoop:

I saw Kanye body Common in a freestyle battle on live air, Dre ain't doing that.

"Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push miracle whips">any line Dre ever wrote

Dre is better than Kanye, Dre has made classic music that supersedes Kanye's and he is a better rapper in many aspects. Lol at body, I saw that too battle too, it was a small sparring session between friends, it wasn't that serious lol, it was a freestyle battle off the top, anything can happen in that, that's hardly some display of skill, Kanye might have had that ghostwritten too though lol. Plus Common wants them Kanye beats, probably went easy on him lol. I'm joking but it wasn't no big deal and doesn't make him a battler at all. Mm, I don't care about that line lol, Dre has NUMEOUS songs better than any Kanye song.

It was friendly but a battle nonetheless, Com did get bodied and he's a guy who I consider one of the 10 greatest rappers ever. I know Dr. Dre ain't going in a booth with Common and edging him at all.

No skill involved you really think it's that easy? :mjlol:

Did you see Kanye's freestyle at Fat Beats in '96, Kanye can spit much better than Dre can, he's relied on ghostwriters less (Kanye's allegations are exaggerated), actually wrote more classic songs. Dre has a dope delivery, every other MCing aspect goes to Ye. Not to mention in terms of being an MC (master of the ceremony), live performance Kanye is one of the best.

Kanye's not a top 10 MC but Dre ain't seeing him that's crazy. Imagine The Chronic 2001 without the ghostwriters that ranged from Jay-Z, to Snoop, to Nas and Eminem. :damn:

It was a friendly light hearted battle, I've beaten 2 exceptional Mc's in a freestyle battle, that doesn't make me better than them. I never said no skill is involved either. Common's better than Kanye.....

The Chronic is better than all Kane's albums though....

Kanye turns 38 this year.. He could literally be your dad...
Yeah, but his first album came 8 years after Jay's did. 10 years after Illmatic. Kanye also releases more stuff consistently than all those guys.

all the trollin' and bullshyt aside, i can see someone puttin' him in their top 5 and especially even more in time because kanye has put in a fair share of great work for himself and others

his catalog of work speaks for itself

True but Kanyes first album came out when you were 5.. No rapper that debuted when I was 5 was considered the voice of my generation...

I'm not saying you're wrong. I heard Kanye tell Jimmy Kimmel he was the coolest figure at a 14 year olds birthday party.. It's just weird and shows how stagnant pop culture has become in the past 15 years..
