The greatest artist over the past decade for me would probably be Common. He sticks to the same rhythm of old, and he is deep lyrically.

but most people don't think Kanye is great they just like to point and laugh at him because he's such a friggen idiot. I'm not denying he makes catchy :bou::bou::bou::bou: but the guy is one of the biggest idiots ever.Quote:

He had the balls to do songs like Diamonds are Forever & Jesus Walks that made me think that commercial rap wasn't going completely down the drain.
Kanye West IS hip hop, but he is ALSO pop. And he is definitely a DICK. His interview with Matt Lauer earlier this month just confirmed what most people already know.
I think that a lot of people think Kanye is great. Most of his albums so far have had rave reviews (only 808s and Heartbreak tended to divide people somewhat), he's hardly like a figure where people solely pay attention to him to see what faux pas he'll get up to next.Quote:

Oh, and The Game sucks. He hasn't done anything good since Hate it or Love it.
Everyone should check out this song. This is real Hip Hop

I thought Doctor's Advocate was better than his first album. At least he dropped most of the name droppingQuote:
