I believe he is skilled in rapping, but talented in producing. I believe he was meant to produce. Lyrically he's not that impressive ever.

Kanye doesn't not write his albums. And yeah, he's a beast producing.

He's a descent producer but a horrible horrible mc

He was good on College Dropout and Late Registration. But fell off after.

he's better than most rappers and is one of the leaders in rap ryt nw

But Yea, he produces better than he raps

He's alright.

He is a better producer then he is a rapper but I actually think hes a good rapper, I used to hate him but i cant front...hes mad funny, u dont know what hes gonna say next when he raps. And hes got a heavyweight flow :yes:

Kanyes first 3 albums were very good but that 808 hearbreak **** was crap with all the autotune. He is a good rapper and producer.

i loved Kanye on College Dropout. it remains one of my favorite albums to date.
he is a fantastic producer but lyrically he has gotten super lazy.
he's fallen off hard.

I like Kanye. raps with alot heart(most of the time), great artist, great producer.

'ye doesnt rate as an mc, he doesnt write his own ****. great producer, one of the best ever.

'ye doesnt rate as an mc, he doesnt write his own ****. great producer, one of the best ever.

Is this verified or simply just a rumor? If so who writes for him? GLC?

I think he'sa good rapper and a great producer.

"Two categories in which he was nominated were Song of the Year and Best Rap Song for 'Jesus Walks,' a song he bought from an Indianapolis-based MC named Rhymefest and re-recorded. While it is true that Rhymefest was given a songwriting credit and nominated for two awards along with West, we do not feel that it is appropriate for The Recording Academy to reward this kind of behavior, especially in light of statements he has made with regard to his capabilities as an artist and the fact that he rarely acknowledges the fact that he buys a lot of 'his' music from other artists."

"So the issue here is not that Kanye has bought songs from songwriters. This happens all the time in the music world and a few hundred times a day in Nashville, no doubt. The issue at hand is that Kanye, according to Crawford, bought the song "Jesus Walks" from Chicago MC Rhymefest and tried to pass it off as a collaboration."

Found this. Rhymefest says he doesn't ghostwrite for Ye.

In the past he's gotten away with alot of corny lines.

But he's actually getting better lyrically.

With that said, I agree. He's a better producer than rapper.

This didnt even need to be said. It's blatently obvious

I've never understood why people **** on Kanye's rapping? The man is a good rapper.
