Comparison of Kanye and other rappers since his tragedy and return.
Kanye West, the new up and coming king?
I’m not a shit starter, or instigator or anything like that. I simply like rap music. And if you asked me who was the best rapper, for a long time I would have agreed with Lil (Weezy F. Baby) Wayne’s self declaration of him being the best rapper alive right now. But on the dawn on everything that has happened to Kanye West, and after listening to his cameo bars on Wayne’s “Lollipop” remix and Jeezy’s “I Put On” single… anyone who really appreciates lyrics would have to be excited by what the possibilities can be for Kanye West.
I mean it’s just a formula for greatness. Now not to exploit what happened to him and his mother, God rest her soul, but anyone with a set of ears realizes Kanye is spittin’ with a whole different passion, form a whole different part of the soul many of us hope we never have to spit our rhymes from.
But it’s a passion that’s recognizable, and just from the two cuts I’ve heard him on, it’s a passion definitely unmatched in hip hop right now. Now if you take his producing skill, matched with his rhyming skill, coupled with that big ass ego, and now , a deep soulful humbled hurtful passion that nobody wants to, but everybody can relate too! I think we might be looking at a new king of this rap shit for a minute. When does his new album come out anyway? Just a word from a fan, if you agree or disagree holla back!

I agree that he’s the most famous rapper now, but there’s difference between best and most famous

There’s actually no best rapper, but if you want me to say one, it depend on what decade and what region
