    People sleeping on No Dope On Sundays aren’t missing much. It was fine, but kinda nothing special. I really wanted Cyhi to succeed after all this time, but it was a big step down from his mixtape run, especially coming off of BHP.

    In the cyhi ones he's just talking about the same s--- that happens in every studio. "I don't need writers I might bounce ideas, but only I could come up with some s--- like this."

    So....where does it say that Rhymefest "wrote most of the College Dropout?" Those are just articles from around the time of the Drake/Meek Mill beef where rhymefest is trying to get himself in the headlines. Kanye been crediting everyone to touch his songs for ages. He does what everyone does in a studio (bounce ideas, have people help improve lines, have people write some lines here and there) except he actually puts them all in the credits. Are there probably some old songs where not everyone who contributed half a bar got credited? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. I just don't know how someone could listen to Kanye's whole discography and not think that the vast majority of the ideas and lines come from one brain. I'd argue that Kanye has one of the most recognizable voices in all of rap. I don't get how people can read a couple offhand comments from people mad that they aren't famous and turn that into "all of kanye's stuff is ghostwritten."

    Where did that gorgeous thing come from? Legit never heard that before.

    @joeyp363 do you have any clue who this Kanye man is? People keep mentioning him being a good rap singer.

    This is how I see it too. I never hear interpret this question as “strictly lyrically speaking”. It’s the whole package with me, who releases the best music, and with that in mind, of course Kanye is top 10. Top 5 even. The real question is whether or not he’s in the conversation for #1.

    And for me, he absolutely is.

    Top 5

    I care about music. Who makes the best rhymes is irrelevant to me.
