Despite all his controversies, there’s no rapper who has shaped modern hip-hop more than Kanye West.
He helped move hip-hop beyond the gangsta rap era, broke the genre’s rules, and made culture adapt to HIM rather than the other way around.
There’s no Drake without Ye. No Uzi without Ye. No Carti without Ye.
Few artists have ever had the kind of generational chokehold on music and pop culture that Kanye West has had

Which of these songs is carried more by the lyrics than the beat (or vice versa)?
• “Marvins Room”
• “Alright”
• “Runaway”
• “Mask Off”
• “Humble”
• “Sicko Mode”
Pick two: one lyric-driven, one beat-driven.

Kanye West helped change what hip-hop could become.
Lil Wayne helped change what rappers could do.
Wayne's influence on the actual craft of rapping deserves a different level of respect. 🎤🐐

I have a question: Why does Jay-Z have so much influence over who performs at the Super Bowl halftime show? Isn’t there an organising committee or a board responsible for making those decisions? Why does it seem like one person has so much say in who gets that opportunity?

I completely understand why Kanye said his greatest pain in life was not being able to watch himself perform
