    Absolutely. To me he is the goat by far but its easy to make an actual argument for it.

    @Bourbon Ben I wanna make fun of you but 3k is one of the goats so I respect your choice, but jigga just.. d---

    I feel like Kanye is the easiest to defend just looking at his body of work and consistency in reinventing his sound.

    I don't think Kanye is quite good enough as an out-and-out rapper to be any sort of consensus pick as the greatest. He's still good enough to be one of the genre's best artists ever but not quite good enough to be the consensus greatest, you know? At least to me.

    I was thinking WTT for this decade since I assume 2010s was your beef, but that might be cheating. Even if it's more of a victory lap for Kanye's return than a Jay album, I think the power/event of those two coming together is undeniable and just as much is owed to Jay.

    Also yeah agree with @Big Cuntry every decade at least one classic.

    90 - Rd and if you want vol 1 or 2
    00 - BP, TBA, AG
    10's - at least WTT and maybe in time 4:44
