    One of Kanye's most personal and emotional songs is Jesus Walks and he didn't even write it

    Kanye might be a top 5 producer if not the best. Top 10 rapper on the other hand, nah

    He has peaks of brilliance (that may or may not even be written by him) but overall he is not a top tier mc.

    Hov is probably the closest thing to an objective greatest of all time, and Ye's murdered him a good half of their collabs.

    heard CyHi say that Kanye gives out writer credits more than a hooker in south central gives out handjobs

    like you could be wearing a shirt that inspires something he writes and you get credits lol

    dont remember which interview CyHi mentions this in tho

    The tribe called check a hoe line on FML literally sounds like a throwaway CyHi line

    Kanye just wants everyone to get paid because back when he was making beats for DDot without credit (like All about the Benjamins) he was getting ripped out of money.

    Anyone who thinks writing credits means Ye doesn’t write has never been in an actual studio. You s---t the s--- while you write and every so often a homie has an idea for your next line and you put it in the song cause it’s hot. It doesn’t mean that they write your whole song and every single rapper you ever listened to has done this

    Considering that beyond the surface level Gorgeous is one of Kanye’s most personal song and the only song to directly mention his feelings on the Swift incident from MBDTF it’s pretty clear he wrote it

    it’s not. Suggesting anything off MBDTF was ghost written in full is kind of crazy because that album was intended to be Kanye’s suicide note. Who lets people ghostwrite your suicide note.

    But back on the topic of Gorgeous lyrics, lyrics like this give us an insight into the VMA incident more than anything else.

    “Inner city tantrums based off intercity anthems
    Based off the way we was branded
    Face it Jerome get more time than Brandon”

    To Kanye the VMAs was never about his ego, it was about award shows neglecting black music.
    but after that white america once again brought racism out of the woodwork and their favorite black rapper who rapped about Jesus was suddenly an a------.
