Thread 126972342

i dont understand people who put kanye in the top 10 of rappers. top 10 producers? sure, but kanye has never really been a standout rapper to me and has always been a far better producer than rapper

nobody is making a "top 10 producers" list

>>126972342 (OP)
Opposite for me. I don't understand how so many people understate his rapping skills.

Not like a fast, technical rapper or like street poet or whatever. But people love Lil Wayne for his dumb allusions ("dear Mr. Toilet, I'm the shit") when Kanye does the same thing 10x better. The man is hilarious, and he turns phrases in such a pleasing way. He's one of the only rappers I've ever heard that genuinely make me laugh with his wordplay.

There's a lot of "uh"s and questionable flow at times, and he's obviously not the GOAT GOAT. But he's so good at rapping, dude.

Hitler type beat

There's no such thing as being "good" at rapping, anon.

The auto-tuned stream of consciousness shit at the start about twitter and cucks is really clunky and forced, but aside from that, it's a legit banger. Makes me hyped as fuck whenever listening to it.

Youre right, definitely not a lyrical genius. Or any type of genius for that matter.

Imagine still taking rap seriously and listening to it after 18

what makes kanye a good rapper is that he can be introspective and funny at the same time while not coming across as corny

>>126972386
lol his rapping gets brutally mogged by mc ride

They’d have to juggle Kanye’s pill cocktail for weeks to achieve that flow… still wouldn’t work

hes not a good rapper but he has the best rap albums

>>126972342 (OP)
because most people aren't nerds who make that distinction, to most people "top 10 rappers" means "top 10 musicians who primarily rap" not "top 10 lyrical miracles". sure kanye doesn't write his own lyrics and your local emcee is more technically and lyrically skilled but hearing kanye rap about mayonnaise colored benzes makes me feel good in a way that mc urban conscience rapping triple entendres about the 13th amendment and george jefferson over unreleased jimi hendrix samples doesn't.

His raps makes me feel good combine that with his perfectly curated beats and you have real ear kino, caring about technicalities is oldheads specialty, and honestly lyricism hasn't been the main focus in rap music for decades now ever since the south took over the game

this. "closed on sunday, you my chick fil a" is a better bar than anything any battle rapper has ever said

i think when a lot of people say best rappers (myself included) you weigh the production and beats and lyrical content alongside their rap style and that completes the total quality, Kanye is better on the production end but part of his sincerity and willingness to say things others wont enhances his relatively mid rap flow

>>126976188
The Joy is a banger and it was produced by Pete Rock, but Kanye's lyrics are what make it so fucking good. Some of his best lines in there

Rap is not an art form, it is a product. The best one is the one to move the most units. That is why Eminem is the GOAT. No rapper alive or dead is touching his physical numbers. Drake has him beat on streaming but he can't sell a CD like Em.

"I never understood Planned Parenthood
'Cause I never met nobody planned to be a parent in the hood" is way more interesting than anything Daylyt has ever rapped. Very fun verse akin to his TCD/LR raps.
