  • T.I.'s verse on 'Swagger Like Us,' should get that song off the top ten.

    I think there's a difference between a "Kanye song" i.e. a song on his own album produced by himself, and a song on which Kanye has a guest shot or simply produced.

    If he has a wack verse on an otherwise decent song, I don't think that should be on the list. That should be on "Worst Kanye-on-the-mic" moments or something.

    Not even a Kanye song.

    5. M:I:III theme (remix)-Kanye West

    Maybe worst song ever?

    Whereas Kanye is not Rakim or Scarface, I find it really funny when people talk about how bad of a rhymer he is. He's not really THAT bad - granted he has some cringeworthy moments but motherfuckers telling me he THAT BAD? No I am not buying it, considering the proliferation of so many other "rappers" out there that motherfuckers ride for as being good. Fuckoutofherewiththatbullshittimestwenty.

    but when you realize how much of his rhyme style he straight BIT from Rhymefest, it's hard not to diss.

    Go head kanye, collect all of them HATERS.

    everyone's style is bit from someone... hell all of Kanye's drums are admittedly No I.D.'s hand me downs.

    How many dudes are really trying to push the envelope and willing to put themselves out there?

    I think with all the bullshit out right now, Kanye deserves at LEAST not be shit on.

    BTW who reads Vibe?

    Kanye is one of the real rock stars we have; the world is way better with him. I need rock stars. The blogger tirades are incredible. Amazing. Music-wise he counts too. Come on.

  • BTW who reads Vibe?

    Some of those are pretty sucky, but I still like "Swagga Like Us", although I'm a little bewildered as to how T.I. got relegated to a supporting role on his own song.

    Personally, I'd perm any ten tracks from 808s and Heartbreak, which has to be the worst album released by a major rap artist since God knows when.

    Dude is actually kinda sharp and witty sometimes. You'd think there was something wrong with a rapper coming up with occasional snappy and memorable couplets, the way some people talk about Kanye on the mic. Granted, he's not a natural rapper, but it's not like he isn't aware of that and doesn't work harder to compensate for it. In any event, Kanye couldn't possibly be the worst emcee in the world while Group Home are still walking the earth. I just hope he never makes another album as miserable, wretched and borderline unlistenable as his last one.

  • I like all of his albums.

    He's not in the same coral as some GOATs, but he's definitely on the farm.

    Even that last one? I've been back to that a few times, most recently after talking with one of my boys about it last week. Try as I might, if there's anything noteworthy about that record, then I'm afraid it's sailing right past me.

    Graduation eventually grew on me, although not to the same extent as Late Registration, which I think is his best record and a great record by any standards. He needs to rein himself in a little, though, and realise that not every idea he has is a great idea.

  • I haven't listened to 808s and heartbreaks repeatedly, but I enjoyed it the times I did. I'll probably go back to it and enjoy it at some point. I don't really read blogs or vibe or any of the things that talk about him, so I don't necessarily find him to be that offensive of a person. I just listen to his records and laugh at some of the random stories I hear about him. I'm not going to his shows. I'm not really caring if he sucks live. He's made some of the only rap albums that sound like "albums" in a long time. He's not the best rapper ever, but he's far from the worst. He's got some pretty great lines actually.

    I don't even know why he is such a debated topic on here. Either you like him or you don't. I'm not aiming this at you Doc. Some people talk about him like he's Baby Bash or Shaq.

    Hardly. I enjoyed most of his work up until and not including his current album. I just recognize that his rapping is the weakest link of his music. The production work he's done for people like The Game and Common is dope.

  • we need a top-ten Kanye productions that excludes his solo albums.

    Kanye West production discography

    On a production top 10, I'd nominate:

    Scarface - Guess Who's Back
    Beanie Sigel - Nothing Like It
    Alicia Keys - You Don't Know My Name
    Jay-Z - Heart of the City/This Can't Be Life
