I was done with rap once Young M.C. hit the scene. Everything after that seemed so trivial in comparison.

"You got no money, you got no car, you got no woman and there you are" is the creed I've lived by ever since.

I had to give Kanye acting demerits for smiling during that little bit. Stay in character bro.

If you think Kanye is that good LV, I gotta lotta excellent rap for you to dig through.

Don't worry, Nate - I already listen to a pretty solid amount of rap.

[Kevin Davis]

The number of instruments thing is meaningless to me, I just brought it up because kanye clearly doesn't respect beck or taylor swift or whoever he is bitching about. It makes it seem as though all he cares about is r&b. And don't say number of albums sold should be a factor, by that logic 50 shades of grey should win best picture. I would just like to know what an artist/musician like beck or swift has to do to get his respect?

I doubt his disrespect is that specifically focused on those artists; he's just a rich famous person with a big mouth and fairly loose guidelines for social conduct. He has certainly sampled enough different kinds of music throughout his career to lay to rest the concern that he feels R&B is the only genre of music with any merit.

I'm just gonna throw this out there: Beck never has, and never will, make an album as good as Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, or Yeezus.

Can't even come close to agreeing with that, but when it comes to the debate at hand, from my admittedly limited knowledge of hip-hop, I think you'd be hard pressed to name another major hip-hop artist that is more clearly influenced by music outside of that genre than Kanye. His albums, while I think they're sometimes inconsistent, are always exciting to listen to. They're never rap by numbers.
