Is Kanye a top 10 rapper of all-time?

[Maximus Meridius]

@ Cam or Wayne in a top 10 all time list.

 

[offset pow clow]

And KRS-One, Black Thought & Kool G. Rap

And Ghostface and Redman

 

[lamekilla]

Are y'all really disagreeing with Wayne being a top 10 rapper of all time? I'm inclined to think you guys haven't heard anything from him pre '09....

Even those years when he was really good that doesn't make him a top 10 all time rapper. I don't see it.


Pac
BIG
Nas
Jay
Kool G Rap
Scarface
Em
Rakim
KRS
Ice Cube



That's not my list but off the top my head Wayne ain't better than those dudes and I can keep going.

Cube over Wayne? are we rating this off of pure lyricism or cultural impact...

any rapper selling a million his first week has to be considered in the very least...

Waynes impact on hip hop makes him top 10

Thank you. His '07-'09 run had him the biggest name on the planet at a point and time

As terrible as it is, ya'll are probably (yet unfortunately) right. His run from 07-09 (maybe even 06-09) from a mainstream scale was massive. This ******* scum was everywhere even if you were trying to avoid him. I'm just now chiming in on page 13 and really just talking about sales/buzz, but if we're talking about pure lyrics, this loser isn't even in the top 30.

Wayne did nothing to impact the culture more than NWA sir.

And pre 2009 said some of the dumbest **** ever. Wayne was in his actual prime up until Carter 2. After that he was just popular. And Wayne is one of my favorites. Tha Carter is one of my favorite albums but that million first week is popularity...MC Hammer went diamond...he has to be top ten

I'll take Cube over Wayne any day on both cultural impact and lyricism. It's not even close. You want to talk impact? How about Cube being a part of a group that brought a whole genre of rap to the masses. That's impact fam. If you going off units moved, Wayne doesn't hold a candle to the units DMX moved at his peak. X was pumping out platinum albums at a rate like no other in a short span.

 

[ice city fc]

Some of you younger ****** need to do your homework.

at Wayne's cultural impact trumpin Cube's.

You comparing the late 90s-early 2000s to the internet era?

Everybody wearing dreads because of who?

Everybody tatted up because of who?

Everybody wanna be blood because of who?

Wayne was that dude b

Ummmmm no because that's when he wasn't using horribly corny similies every line?

"They cannot see me..they are like Stevie"

"i can say don't rhyme and its gone rhyme"
And NWAs lyrics were mostly written by Cube. You stay sounding stupid though so it's all gravy.

 

[niquefreak94]

Wayne is in the top 10 because he made teenage followers want dreads, tattoos, and be fake bloods. Okay.

 

[lamekilla]

Ok now I know for a fact some of y'all don't know what you're talking about if you're taking Cube over Wayne lyrically.

Cultural impact there's no denying what NWA did for hip hop but cube was part of a larger unit. You have to talk about easy, dre, and Ren if you're gonna bring up NWA and not just cube.

...and then if you're really gonna take it there then mention Westside connection as well we're talking solo careers people. Wayne > Cube

So according to your logic, Wayne was that dude because of his perceived image? This is what you call impact correct?

You also forgot that Cube was the one who wrote majority of them lines for the group as well.

"They cannot see me..they are like Stevie"

"I am burying-a- ton like levy, I circle your house like BB, colder than the heebie jeebies, never give freebies, 75,000 for these fees"

Mannnnnnnnnn

Solo careers i'm still taking Cube over Wayne.

We can agree to disagree sir. I'm just not feelin that.

 

[dchozn1]

We can agree to disagree sir. I'm just not feelin that.

Fair enough. But I have to ask what makes Wayne solo career better than Cube's? Sales?

Just because you didnt like the way he was rhyming doesnt mean late 05-08 wasnt his prime aka the height of his career

How you gonna say pre c2 was his prime when he wasnt even that popular

Dudes saying anything, thats like saying jays prime was reasonable doubt

That **** was not dope man. You got it, though. All opinion. We just agree to disagree.
