As a rapper, Kanye is Jay-Z light, but with production skills as well..
Not to mention, Jay-Z albums often have some of the same vibe as CG..

A "light" Jay-Z? Are you serious. They're completely different. What makes Kanye stand out is that he's relateable. While he does have some typical Hip Hop content from time to time, he usually spits shit people can be like "Oh yea, I did that..." Most rappers talk about pushing crack, pushing Bentleys(which Kanye does, too), Pimping and various other things I don't do. Kanye may not be complex, but he's a VERY good emcee. You don't gotta be Chino XL to be considered a dope emcee. Kanye comes with dope lines, great hooks, good concepts and just an overall genuine vibe. He(along with 9th Wonder) is bringing back that Golden Era feel, without over doing it. Hands down, College Dropout is the best album of the year, I don't see how it's not. Aside from the skits, I only skipped that track with Luda, the rest got major play.

Jay-Z is no Ras Kass neither, Kanye is similar to Jay-Z in many ways, and if you ask him, I'm sure that he will tell you that he's very Jay-Z influenced..
Jay-Z is considered "God MC" by many, even many rappers, he's considered top 5 by MANY people, he comes with dope lines, good hooks, and all the other stuff you can say about Kanye..
Kanye is a good rapper in many ways, but overall he's years & multiple albums behind Jay-Z.
"They're completely different" is not true at all, there's plenty of similarities.

SGV:
Oh ok, so any rapper who comes with good hooks and dope lines is Jay-Z light? LMAO.

Listen to their content. Kanye talks about his being self concious, his family, his accident, getting girls, Jesus, school, working 9 to 5, social issues, etc. Jay-Z is more on some random player shit. He talks about hustling in the street, sometimes he'll get introspective, for the most part it's just generic studio thug music.

I personally think Kanye is very good as a producer. We forget also that Dilated Peoples This Way has no speed vocals, and same with Get By by Talib Kweli. As a producer, Kanye also did the Alicia Keys You Don't Know My Name, and that new Brandy song. Kanye is doing his thing, and what's wrong with his production style. Dr. Dre has had the same style since B-Please, and most every producer has their style they stick too. Kanye's is more of Hip-Hop on a commercial level, it works for him, let it be. No hating.
