    kanye isn't from chicago, but we all know he reps chi-town and grew up there. common is from chicago. they've worked together. both have been doing this for a long time. i think both are two of the greatest ever.

    so what do you say? common or kanye?

    Kanye by so far tbh, even Kanye featuring Common revived his career

    voted kanye cause even if i cared about who was the better rapper, only one of them has ever made something as pleasing to listen to as 808s, Yeezus or MBDTF.

    common so boring by comparison

    Kanye with ease, but Common is dope too. Electric Circus and Be especially.

    I like Kanye a lot more, he has a lot of gems that are replay-able for days, Common is a nice artist, spits real music, like Testify is a pretty good track.

    WHAT! Of course Common. And Common was doing this since the beginning of 90s. Common's first album dropped in 1992, Kanye came more than a decade after him. Also, Common is a lot better lyricist and a rapper than Kanye ever will be. Kanye is not a good rapper at all. A good artist yeah but not rapper.

    I think resurrection and like water for chocolate and one day it’ll all make sense are all better than be. those 3 albums were a great run

    Be is good too, it was the album that brought him more into the mainstream/made him more well known
