    It wasn't at the time of its release but people now tout it as one of the most influential rap albums of all time, which I would consider a form of acclaim.

    I've seen @dna hits call MBDTF "overrated on this forum" so many times now it's like his catchphrase

    Um sir, have you ever talked to anyone about Kanye or hip hop in general outside of sxn80? Because I got news for you

    oh, influential yes, absolutely
    but influence isnt exactly the first quality to take to account when talking about best rap albums (as far as ive heard from the opinions in here?) but i believe 808s is the greatest album even without the influence

    In their primes (as a rapper): Eminem > Wayne > Drake > Kanye
    Overall (as a rapper): Wayne > Eminem > Drake > Kanye

    The rapper/artist comparison is not only stupid, but untrue. On Kanye’s first two albums + MBDTF his “pure rapping” ability rivals Waynes

    eminem isnt that great of a rapper and his skill in it isnt why he was so booming

    Artistry ≠ Rapping, therefore the comparison is valid. Wayne's technical ability from 2004-2008 was better than almost every rapper. Even now, D6 had some crazy rhyme schemes. Wayne > Kanye in terms of pure rapping ability. Kanye is a much better artist though. Actually, now that I think about it, Eminem was a better artist than Wayne in his prime. I'm going to go back and change that.

    In his prime, Eminem was one of the most, if not the most, technically proficient rappers to have ever graced the earth. But don't believe me, believe Kool G Rap, Rakim, and countless other extremely well-respected rappers

    I was explaining why the comparison was valid. That wasn't a response to his claim of Kanye's rapping on his first two albums + MBDTF > Wayne's rapping.

    You're right. People listened to him because he made good music. His technical proficiency was a bonus.

    not really....
    first of all, what does "technical rapping" even stand for?
    second of all, id rather say people listened to him because of the unique way people took him as(white+shock value=controversial) he was more of an item of pop culture rather than a rapper
