i have doom second in 2004. kanye's technical shortcomings in the early going are wildly exaggerated--all falls down or two words or never let me down or we don't care etc etc etc are strong arguments to that effect. he was rapping better in 2010 (and maybe marginally in 2005? maybe?) but College Dropout is a masterpiece and as great as the production was, the impact was specifically because of his rapping/his identity as a rapper.

EDIT: so was he a better pure rapper than doom (or ghostface) in 2004? probably not, no. but he was good enough that CD's impact--one that, as i said, owes much more to his rapping than his production--was so massive that i think it gives him the edge.

for the record, i recently had to submit a ballot about the three best albums in each year, and Madvillainy beat The College Dropout for album of the year.

do you honestly think that eminem's s-----y nas rip-off demo was better than:

All Eyez on Me
Ironman
Reasonable Doubt
It Was Written
The Score
ATLiens
Makaveli
Soul on Ice
h--- on Earth

lol. are you serious?

there are plenty of picks on there that could be debated--that's the nature of the beast. @Koolo even suggested a choice that i thought was better than my own, and i said as much. so you can think i'm wrong, but i'm not choosing other rappers over eminem for any reason other than i find their work and impact to be a better case. i'm not choosing scarface or ghostface for appearances. i'm choosing them because they put out timeless masterpieces that dwarf what em was doign at the same time.

you've spent hours in one thread arguing one single point. how much time have you spent with Supreme Clientele? how can you turn up your nose at The Blueprint? you're throwing a hissy fit because i didn't call someone you like the best rapper in the world. i didn't call him a pile of s---.
