God damn Kanye West is a dope rapper
« on: August 18, 2003, 06:24:37 PM »
man i really slept on this cat for a while but i d/led some tracks and he's a fuckin dope rapper. I'm def anticipating his album now, whens it droppin?

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

yea kanye's got much better skills than 50...although both have dope beats...i find kanye's beats to be a little bit better...he did really well with the beats he did on The Blueprint.

You're not the only one, I think ROC slept on him all the time till now too. He's definitely a good rapper! He first impressed me on that "We Are The Champions" song of the ROC, where he had the first part (after being introduced by Dame Dash) and where also Twista is introduced to the ROC and has the last part of the song.

Kanye has dope lyrics, something 50 is seriously lacking. i guess kayne raps a bit like Jigga but his content is seriously different. At least he doesn't slur when he raps

i wouldnt even say that kanye raps like jigga...jigga's flow is kind of generic...i mean its dope and all but its not like he's the only one...kanye's flow isnt even all that much like jiggas but i can see where you say it would be...and like Dr. Lincoln said...kanye's lyrics are dope...50's arent.
