Kanye calls 2Pac the "most overrated rapper in history"

[MMM]

Kanye has so many classic songs, great albums, puts on a great show and has been on top of the game for over a decade. I don't really think it's a stretch, it's a fair discussion IMO

Has Kanye really been on "top of the game" from 04-14. I feel he's been down for some time but if i concede that point do you think it comparable to Jay Z from 97-06 or beyond. As I said I'm not rally a Jay fan, really didn't like any of his stuff except Volume 2 and Blue print. However, just speaking about a general consensus one would assume Jay is another tier in terms of albums and legacy.

he hasn't been down at all. He was on three top 5 songs within the last year.

it's really a preference thing honestly with rap. But I feel that it's now appropriate to compare the two, Kanye has 7 platinum albums, 23 Grammys I think (which is more than Hov) and he has better hit songs. Kanye makes better music

Depends on your criteria, Kanye is a great musician. Rapping alone? Jay Z tops him.

Wrong. Kanye is one of the GOATS

at rapping or making music?

he isnt in my top 200 rappers

but is my #1 producer

you really dont think there's 200 better at rapping out there?


and yeah, kanye is my favorite producer. along with Primo and pete rock

i never was that big a dilla fan

[Chris99]

On rapping alone, Kanye isn't in the discussion with greats like Big Pun, Biggie, Rakim, etc. But yeah, he's above everyone as a musician.

if you just care about who can freestyle cool lyrics than yeah there are 200 better. But when you combine flow, delivery, content, and just making an overall good hip hop song then no way.

[GimmeThat]

lets just say that Ben Affleck was pretty decent with Argo

but when you throw in the combinations of the likes of Nolan + star actors



that's kinda how I feel about Kanye
and I'm considered a moron with the music scene

[SexSymbol]

Kanye is not top 10.
He's literally only famous for his beats and melodies, his rapping skills are very so so

[rezznor]

Kanye is a good producer, but he's a terrible rapper. His flow is even worst then Diddy and no where close to 2pac. I will admit i am not a rap afficiando, so someone else tell me if I'm wrong

This... Jay Z is a way better rapper than Kanye. But Kanye is a great producer

[Knoe Itawl]

Though this is fake, Pac is the most overrated rapper in history (followed closely by Jay-Z).

With Pac, people mistake his having great charisma and passion with actual skill. He was just slightly above average in that regard.

kanye has shitty flow, delivery and content
