Wayne Vs. Kanye

[youngben]

People get confused with the artist argument, I think.

For me it's a no contest: Kanye wins.

Anyone who produces their music (if it's good, obviously) wins against someone that doesn't. (A director who writes his film beats one that doesn't).

Not only that, Kanye's production is so genius. It's not like J. Cole who fits his production nicely in the current rap style. Kanye is very bold with it.

As for your question about creative songs, I think Kanye has many; whilst they're not as creative on the surface, when you unpack his songs almost all of them have genius sparks of creativity (the choice of using a live version of Pinocchio Story, for example). Kanye has albums that blend as one -- whether it be social commentary, or just a general dark/light tone -- which is something Wayne certainly doesn't have.

Yea but can you really compare them artisically if wayne doesn't produce his music?

I could say since wayne has a punchline better than any kanye punchline he is a better artist because he is more creative, for example.

Perhaps, but in music there are two main things: the producer and the performer, and since Kanye comprises both of these, I say he wins.

Perhaps Kanye is more talented than Wayne because he can do more things?

Also, I don't consider punchlines to be as creative as imagery or symbolism;

Wayne = better rapper
Kanye = better artist

Sorry @sealneaward for steling your comment, think it was you.. lol

Damn, your fucking avi....

Kanye! Most of his albums are classics!

Wayne is far more skilled flow wise and lyrically, Kanye doesen't have a flow as good as Wayne's. But Kanye has way better production than Wayne, and he's overall more artistic, all of his albums are amazing pieces of work, except Yeezus. You can't really compare them, they're both great in their own ways.

C3 alone shits on Kanye's discography... Late Registration and Grad are great, but Prime Wayne is just the better rapper

MBDTF alone shits on Wayne's discography

I could say the same for C3.

MBDTF is simply a much, much better album

MBDTF is not even Kanye's better album

You're right, 808s is, but that's not a rap album.

Fact still remains MBDTF > any Wayne album
