Kanye West end up one of the greatest?

by Thomas

Okay…. so here’s the deal….
College Dropout was a Classic
Late Registration was on the same pedistal….
Graduation, I felt like it wasn’t as good at C.D. or L.R.
BUT was still DECENT.
808’s was Eh…. Sometimes I’m feelin it, others NAHHHH.
But…. Here recently….
Kanye has been MURDERING EVERYTHING since Go Hard.
Swagger Like Us
Flight School
Kinda Like a Big Deal
Forever
Knock You Down
Make Her Say
Run This Town
Those are just a few to name off….
It seems like he has a new level of confidence that is pushing him to become better and better…. When will he prime is my question? I’m thinking that before he’s done he will be one of the greats up there with Jigga Pac Big Etc. Etc.
I’d like to know if its just me thats been feelin his shit lately or if everyone else feels the same way….
So, Let me in on your opinions, Please and thanks….

Kanye is by far one of the best all time rappers “to progress” while in the game. He gets better every year with the words, sometimes he may come off a lil weaker than usual when he gets too cocky though. But when he is the underdog of the song or has something to prove, he shows and proves he can hang with th best.

He showed me that he was getting way better when he flowed on “I still love H.E.R.” feat Teriyaki Boyz. That Verse Was probably one of his sickest verses to date. And the refreshing thing is when he makes a tight ass verse, he doesn’t have to talk about how gangster he is, or how many packs he sold, he’s just relying on his skills to get him through his verses, and you gotta respect that.

Kanye could make my top 10 in maybe another Cd or 2, but he’s not right now….But he is in my top 13 tho, so he’s getting there….\

And niggas can say what they want about his attitude.I think it makes him that much better that he doesn’t give a fuck what you think, and he’s gonna say how he feels. Shit we as people need niggas like him to say what some of the more timid niggas in the population are thinking, but too afraid to say out loud.

Cuz people are sheep, and everyone can’t always be one: Someones’ gotta stand up and say something. Or else no one will ever get heard, cuz no one wants to go against the crowd. Fuck that! I don’t sugarcoat shit, and I don’t like niggas that do it.At least your getting honesty, cuz alot of niggas won’t even give you that….. And Mr.West(even when being an asshole) gives you a big ass dose of that.

Kanye never been wack…he’s been a BEAST since he came in the game…everybody just now realizing it…I always been a fan of Ye and I think he’s the best rapper alive…but because of his appearance and his Pop Hits no one is gonna give him his credit…I got everything Ye ever recorded and I could have a “line for line” war with ur favorite rapper…and Kanye will win everytime…AND HE PRODUCES!!!

Kanye has blossomed.He didn’t begin as a beast, he molded himself that way. I have his whole body of work too and I know he had to work to be as good as he is now. He’s always been a beat on the beats tho. That’s why Jay signed him(during Vol.2)But he still had to prove he could be a rapper. But to say he can go against any of MY favorite rappers, is ridiculous. Lupe Fiasco, Big L, Jay-Z, Nas,Styles P..just to name a few, are on a different plateau…but Ye is getting there, and he will be, in time. He already has plenty of classics under his belt.

wrongidea i agree with most of what ur sayin and props for that, but i do have to disagree with u when u put lupe ahead of kanye. lupe is great with the flow and one of my favs but kanye is just as sick plus i think his lyrics make sense more often. like it seems like sometimes lupe is just trowin out wierd words in between the shit hes really talkin bout. kanye on the other hand seems to make everything he spits make sense even when it doesnt sound like it.

kanye is ONE OF the goats.

I HIGHLY disagree with that. Lupe is Much more complex. He definitely doesn’t make up shit just to rhyme-that’s some Camron shit. No offense, but it might just be going over your head…I, myself, have had to look up certain meanings in his rhymes or listen a couple times before I got it. He’s that far advanced- It’s crazy!!! I couold go on and on about the different poetry styles he uses(since I’m a poet myself) and social commentary,etc. but I’ll just say this:
There isn’t a rapper that exists that is more complex than that boy Lu. Kanye is just easier to understand cuz he thinks like a nigga, so he says metaphors a nigga would get easily. that’s all.

Wrongidea: Mann I couldn’t have said it better myself on Lupe . The thing that irritates me the most with people is that sense most people don’t get what Lupe is saying , they think he wack or don’t give him the credit he deserves . There is NO OTHER RAPPER in the game that can even COMPARE to Lupe lyrically , NOBODY !
Im just glad to see someone that gives him credit for his talent . I mean he the only rapper that will make you pull out a damn dictionary to get what he saying! He just has that Higher Level of thinking and I was there were artist out there like him .

I think he’s just tryin to move beyond just hip hop…which in these days you can’t blame him. The money is in the majority…and the majority likes more than just hip hop. So can you blame him for trying to do more than one thing…that he is already proven to be good at. And don’t forget he’s a producer too…the creativity needed to be a good one means u can’t just stay with rap….all my opinion tho.

…good point. Can anyone tell me when does an artist’s longevity finally play into being great? I mean for 2Pac he made so many songs that it made him even more of a great AFTER his time. But even then when does the catalog of albums/singles/features come into play in the GREATEST LIST?…

I hope none of you bove me think that 50 deserves it?…. and if so, with what lyrics? or what beats? Kanye is in the works of becoming mentioned with the greats…he still has work to do to reach that statis, but in 2-3 years he could definitely prove himself if he keeps getting better. just my opinion
replyReply | 6 props | propProp | trashTrash
annanas13904 months ago
Well 50 doesnt deserve to be in the Top 10, Kanye West is the more talented rapper and musician but people hate 50 too much that they are blind to what 50 actually has done. 50 should be legend because of Power of the dollar, GRODT, and his mixtapes and his business moves not top 10 rapper tho. Now to your blog, I’m not a fan of Kanye but Im not a hater. I love his first CD and Graduation was dope but I wasnt feeling Last Registration and definitely not feeling 808’s but I have too admit I’m starting to change my mind on Kanye because of his guess features, he kills almost everything. So I most likely going 2 go back and re-listen to his cds.

Kanye is deff going to be in the top 10 when he’s done, especially after taking this little break from rap and getting a chance to rethink himself. He’s going to re-invent the game AGAIN when he comes back. Let’s not mention he’s probably the best rapper/producer of all-time, dont even argue that shit. So right now Ye gets a no as the GOAT, will he ever be…probably not but he’ll be top 10 at best top 5.

i highly disagree with this blog. kanye is nowhere near the top ten all time. sure i am a kanye fan, no doubt he got talent, but nah man he’s not that same nigga from College Dropout. that album was awesome and late registration was pretty good too. graduation was alright, and 808s was just horrendous. i mean seriously, i bought the cd and was dissapointed. he stole a few songs and most of em were just boring. it wasn’t even hiphop.

swagga like us was murdered by t.i
forever was murdered by eminem
IMO knock you down was murdered by ne-yo
his run this town verse was good but he didn’t MURDER jay.

kanye is no doubt a good artist but cannot be compared to legends of likes of
biggie
pac
eminem
nas
raekwon
rakim
jayz

I not really a game fan but i think his comment was taken out of context. He never said he would lose the beef between him and Jay. He basically said he would drop a hot ass diss track. Then game said he would drop one right back. Im sure everybody can agree that Jay-z fucked Nas up with The Takeover but he didn’t win the beef cus Nas came back n fucked him up worse with ether. Game is a bi-polar bitch but I don’t think this was one of those 2 faced moments
