To all the people shitting on kanye, your telling me Kanye never had classics beats and wasn't Ill on the mic before he got crazy mainstream?

Yall know damn well he didn't have ghost writers and producers his entire career

 

[HafBayked]

KRIT and Pimp come in behind him for me

I didnt even know Earl produced

How you KNOW this, No ID has stated he has been "working" w Kanye, basically his whole career. Consequence and Rhymefest were "around" kanye since "college dropout". I think Kanye got one of the best catalog in rap history, however, he get an asterisk. Just like drake does when it comes to rapping.

J.cole the best writer out of all the ones listed, but he limited as a producer

 

[Go figure]

Em's beats always came off as a bit generic to me. Still wondering whos idea it was for him to work on Loyal 2 the Game.

DJ Quik makes beautiful music, Pimp C is a very close second and I can't believe you left Daz Dillinger off the list.

[Swiffness!]

I'll never forget bumping I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside front to back like "damn who blessed Earl with these" then looking up the producers on wikipedia like

so imma vote for that.

otherwise.....

Let's keep it a bean and acknowledge Kanye is obviously the real GOAT with "the belt in two classes" - that's why I couldn't respect how Quincy Jones dissed him. How many other musicians have evolved from producing to becoming a bonafide international rock star writing their own hits? Not many.......Trent Reznor....Babyface.....Pharrell maybe?

Quik is a iconic legend but he never got his full due outside Cali. I thought RZA was a great rapper when I was kid and somebody slurring "CHOPPIN OFF YA LEGZ LIKE CIRCULAR SAW BLADEZ" sounded edgy and cool. Pete Rock was always borderline, okay as a MC. I love Dilla's Fuck tha Police song. Black Milk spits hard on every one of his classic albums. Timbaland legit ethered Scott Storch lol.

Anyone who votes for Cole should be banned.

Alchemist has slowly developed into a surprisingly good rapper over the past decade. He sorta does his best Kool G Rap impression and you can tell he's trying REALLY HARD to write good verses. (something I loved about Kanye's old music) The Gangrene stuff he makes with Oh No is dope af. It works because Oh No is better than Alc too, I actually wish he rapped over his own beats more.


also this guy seems to be curiously left out of these discussions:

Kanye used to write rhymes, Dre never wrote a rhyme in his life.

Kanye got put on as a rapper by spitting for Dame. Dre put himself on.

Kanye still performs regularly. Well Dre....

 

[bck145]

Of the list....quik

Of the newer generatipn...i think logic gotta be mentioned

 

[kzzl]

My thing with Quick is that his shit dont always be mastered right. Vocals too low or instruments too high, etc. And hes got some skippable tracks to me.

But Pimp?! That nigga shit has always been flawless. Signature sound, voice, but ill admit hes not the best lyrisits. Fuck that last part, hes too busy being trill for rapping acrobatics.

How Kanye get put on as a rapper when he was producing for the Roc B4 we even knew who the nigga was??? He was put on as a producer the rapping came later and at this point we don't know who wrote what but we know they both came in as producers and got ghost writers can't exclude one and include the other

Mannie

Scarface makes a beat every once in a while

 

[AggieLean.]

Went with Krit, but Pimp was right there as well. No ghostwriters or help on their beats.
