    Do you honestly not respect what Kanye has done in his musical career, even if you don't like him as an artist that much?

    I actually said "7 almost-flawless" albums you stupid c----. He's not over-rated either. Name ANY other rapper that has released 6 albums in a row that don't have a major decline in quality. go. prove he's mad over rated you dickhead. go.

    Probably number 1. Ye is getting dangerously close to overtaking him tho. The only other 2 who are close to the #1 spot for me are Nas and Ghostface, and I don't really see them moving further up in my mind (Nas might even drop back a few spots as time goes on). I'd definitely consider Biggie as being better.. but unfortunately he just doesn't have the catalogue for me to justify it.

    Your jimmies are pretty rustled for not being a big Kanye fan. Listen, Kanye's albums in my opinion are all mediocre, his lyrics are average at best, and lyrics make the rap artist, not the production, if you can't write a real song, then you are not a real artist in my eyes. Alot of people I know dislike his s--- too, he's nothing more than your average rapper trying to get a deal, difference is that he got one.

    This is such a dumb post on so many levels.

    Even if Kanye was a poor lyricist (he isn't), you can't completely discount production...especially when an artist produces his own s--- too. It wouldn't be a song if there was no production.

    Maybe I should have worded it differently. I'm not discounting production, but lyrics matter more when it comes to the heart of the song.

    lol I'm not one of those guys but if you think mainstream hip-hop today is better than the 90's early 2000's mainstream hip-hop then you're a f---ing moron.

    I disagree, personally. I can't really weigh lyrics more than the production. Both of them matter to me when listening to music.

    A rappers lyrics, and the way he/she flows to a beat sometimes makes you feel the beat more than if you just heard the instrumental. I write my own s---, and sometimes a hear a beat and I'm like "Nah, that s----s whack" then I hear another artist on it, and I'm like "Wah that sounds dope!"

    If Kanye's next album is a classic and jay's average Kanye might take the nr 1 spot. If they're equal or Jay is better he stays number one
