I wouldn't say genius. But he's pretty good.
-
of course he is
-
yes he's a genius
-
No. Just No.
-
He's definitely good at acting like he is. His interviews>>>>>>>>>>>>>
-
Nah....very talented does not equal genius
-
What other artist could get perfect reviews from hip hop, rock, and indie critics for the same album?
Nobody -
college dropout
late registration
graduation
808s
MBDTF
some of WTT
some of yeezus
plus 15 years worth of dope production credits
i dont care for calling dude a genius. all i know is that he's been the driving force behind some good/great music thus far in his career. as a fan of hip hop thats all i care about
-
I'd call him a free thinker and innovative as a HipHop artiste..
"Genius" though? Nah -
Nope
-
No. He is obviously talented, and he seems to inspire people to believe in him no matter how stupid he acts. Maybe now that he has a kid and has married he will settle down, focus on what he wants to do as far as being an entrepeneur/rapper/whatever, and realize his vision. If nothing else he is a talented musician and a smart guy.
But no, I don't think he is a genius, objectively or personally. I think he is an overrated ? , personally. -

^^ yo the look on that nigguh face got me in tears...lmao.
-
HipHop Geniuses to me:
- RZA
- Just Blaze
- Madlib
- Pharrell Williams
- Q-Tip
- Terrace Martin
Just off top. These guys are multi-instrumentalists, some are DJS and are efficient and proficient with the MPC beatbox..
Plus they don't use multiple ? to produce their ? .. .
-
But yeah....Ye is that dude no matter how much questionable ? he does outside of music. There aren't many artists who have been as consistent, dominant and influential over such a long span of time.
-
Quincy Jones is
-
First we'd have to define what is a genius in the music sense of the word???
-
Compare to his peers in rap music, he is a genius.
-
IF YOU CONSIDER HIM A GENIUS
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER
MJ
PRINCE
QUINCY JONES
RAY CHARLES
BOB MARLEY
HENDRIX
STEVIE WONDER...
I CAN GO ON AND ON...
STOP GIVIN FOLKS SOOOO MUCH CREDIT -
This ? ain't no damn genius. Has he had some hot production over the years? Most definitely.
-
hes a good beat maker and a decent rapper and thats about it imo
-
His very talented and knows how to stay in the spotlight i think he acts the way he does on purpose so people feed into him more.....or he really has lost it and thinks his black jesus either way his hilarous
-
I consider RZA to be hip-hop's only musical genius. Close behind him are Dj Premier and Pete Rock.
Kanye West doesn't even ? my top 5 producers in hip-hop, but the man is extremely talented. -
RZA s production is hit or miss and Kanye is not a ? genius
-
Yes he is a genius and smh at trying to downplay dudes accomplishments by foolishly trying to degrade him by using Prince, Jimmi,etc.
Kanye has made numerous classic albums, classic songs, and is at the forfront of pushing music (not just hiphop). Kanye is the one who brought in the regular guy next door rapper, creating room for dudes like Drake, J Cole, Kendrick,etc.
I would say Kanye is the rapper who connected everything in hiphop (the music, videos, the fashion, lifestyle). Dude has influenced every aspect of the genre.
As for his rapping abilities, he isn't a great technical rapper but since when do you have to be. I don't consider Pac, Too Short, and many of the old school rappers great technically. Creating a song and being a great songwriter > being super lyrical any day.
