    No apparently that's not all that needs to be said because no one has said that in this thread and the majority of people who do say Kanye top 10 say it as if he is not an outlier. So clearly people do not agree with us

    Kanye is an artist, not a pure rapper. You can't diminish his impact on rap whatsoever. One of the most influential and important hip hop artists ever

    I'd disagree with that. Their lyrics and flow are a big part of what make Kendrick and Andre especially great, but Outkast and Kendrick both have switched the script on nearly every album the same way Kanye has. Their overall musical craft is much greater than just their technical ability. BIG too, but it's harder to say because he only had two albums so we dunno where his overall artistry was gonna go. But Life After Death was definitely a progression in terms of sound, and obviously the way he raps is unmatched.

    We don't obviously why do you think I'm saying people do?? Lol gave u no indication of that

    I'm saying people don't agree with that so its not all that needs to be said , this is why the thread exists because we've been debating it and offering everyone's side of things for 15 pages

    I'm gonna be real with you half the time I argue with people on here it's about albums and films ive never actually watched or listen to and I go against them just to piss them off, I really don't care about others opinions on Kanye of all people. Some ppl prefer their top 10 to be more bar based, some people prefer it to be more melodic or what the f--- ever it dont matter to me, Kanye still the GOAT besides Jay imo

    Saying who is the best rapper gives a connotation that rapping ability is foremost important (or it can, or used to). If I put Kanye on my top 10 he would stick out in that department-- thus is it okay to place Kanye on these lists higher than people who he is musically superior to but on an emcee level noticeably inferior (ala redman)

    he doesn't know why Kanye is an outlier but I think it comes down to the fact his music is so far ahead of everyone elses his bars dont have to be

    I know that Kanye is an outlier , but when you think about it is it fair to give him that distinction. How do you the person interpret a top 10 rapper list, does Kanye the rapper land on it or is he getting placed higher because of Kanye the artist.

    OK word I agree with your conclusion then, but I think if anything the fact that he sticks out is a good thing.

    Kanye the artist I think that's kind of a known thing, but that goes back to the point its fair because his music is so far ahead

    He definitely sticks out and is the outlier, because we're having this discussion to begin with (as many people have in the past), that's significant.

    I just find myself tossing with the idea of
