His music is awful. Genius? 🤣

IMO he's much more talented as a producer than a rapper. If you only follow R&B and hip hop that's played on the radio station you might not be able to really appreciate his production catalog but it's extensive. He made major contributions to hip hop in the 00s . I'm not personally a big fan of his but as a lover of hip hop, I can appreciate his influence and contributions. I'm the person above who questioned the person that said he's the best hip-hop producer. I forgot to say it in that post, but I might even consider Dr. Dre more influential than Kanye. It's fun to debate this topic with people who live and breathe hip hop. You have to look beyond the commercial radio hits these artists are known for and really dive into their catalogs.

I liken him to Van Gogh.

But he still is not as handsome, stable or personable like his nemesis Pete Davidson is.
No matter how talented or rich he is, he has lost his beloved to another great man.
And Kanye West is not used to not getting what he wants.

Stay tuned.

He;s not as stable as Pete, but they're both messes.

It’s really rude and borderline ableist. The only reason anyone says that is because the area around his eyes is dark, which he can’t help and is probably caused by his chron’s disease. Seriously, how does he look dirty?

I said that. To me, his hair always looks greasy and his clothes messy.

Agree. And the tattoos don’t help. His tattoos just look messy.

Side note, I see Pete Davidson referenced on DCUM all the time but still have no idea who he is other than I guess Kim Kardashian is dating him? I have resisted googling him b/c I don't want to get overly invested in this stuff but he seems to spark a lot of controversial opinions.

I hadn't heard of him before either. I've learned he is on SNL and I've also learned he's from Staten Island. Oh and he looks homely and dirty.

PP here, that explains it. I haven't watched SNL in a long time. I didn't think anyone was still watching it but maybe I am just completely out of touch with pop culture!

He’s a ‘genius’… just like Trump is a genius. A self anointed one.

Are you serious? He is a phenomenal producer of music. That's why people say he's a musical genius. They aren't necessarily talking about his raps. He is definitely musically inclined and talented despite his antics.

Right. The people turning their nose up at him in this thread prolly have music lists full of songs they listen to on constant rotation that he has produced for other artists.

I agree. He has mental problems and does need a conservatorship.

All time ever? Or do you mean currently? I think you can probably put him in a top 10 list but I can't fathom putting him above people like Just Blaze, RZA, Easy Mo Bee, Pete Rock, Premier, Da Beatminerz, Trackmasters, Rick Ruben.

He produced that documentary.

He is a genius

Many geniuses have many mental health issues.
