    I have really hard time comparing Kanye to rappers. He is a musician, man. Runaway could be just instrumental and atill be goat

    Aight lets discuss albums only. Do you consider any Ye album to be better than Vol 2, Blueprint, Reasonable Doubt, The BlacK Album?

    All of his albums are better with one exception. Only Graduation loses against Reasonable Doubt.

    OH COME ON

    there's no way you could say this in either direction. kanye and jay both have classics, masterpieces even. saying one has a catalog that is wholesale better than the others is ludicrous. you need to do your homework.

    I highly doubt that. I can listen to Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint all day before I even touch The College Dropout.

    None. I mean liking Kanye is one thing, but dismissing the catalog of one of the greatest rappers of all time when he's compared to Kanye is just dumb

    I don't care for staying in rap lanes.

    In music, Kanye is the only artist i know of who continually delivers me A1 inspirational projects.
