lmao if u think rick ross is lyrically good u need to listen to more than just the shit u hear on tv  and radio dude is all kinds of wack


Rick Ross is average at best, he's good enough now for me not to want to turn his music off as soon as I hear it, though. I barely even listen to mainstream music anyway soo...lol? I'd also say KanYe West is above average, but definitely not a Top 20 rapper. But, what he lacks in lyrical ability, he makes up with creativity, innovation, production, etc. He has pretty good wordplay too and Double Entendres'.

And not liking his album because of too many "Instrumental moments" or w/e Is kind of funny to me. Some of the best album's ever made were just all instrumentals. But w/e bruh bruh.

i see your name is after the goat rap album.....what i mean is if i wanna listen to an instrumental album i would buy an instrumental album...also i do not find sampling old songs to be creative whatsoever....plz explain how kanye is so innovative...what has he done that hasnt been done before?

Reasonable Doubt >>>>>>>>>>>> Illmatic :)



Uhhh dog, their both Hip Hop classics. You shouldn't hate on him because he's choosing one Classic 5-Mic album over another. Now if he said The Carter III was >>>>>>Illmatic you could tell him to GTFO but in this case, it's not needed or valid.


Also, I would say Reasonable Doubt has aged considerably better than Illmatic..same with Ready to Die..its aged better than Illmatic

meh reasonable doubt is overrated shit was only considered a classic after jay started whining bout it being underappreciated .... also blueprint is my fav jay album by a mile


Dead Presidents >>>>>>>>>>>> Any song from Blueprint 1

When you say Album of the Year, do you mean whether it will win the Grammy for Album of the Year of what? 'Cause if that's what you meant, then no, he won't win it. The Grammys (and the music industry in general) hate him for being such a douche who thinks he should win every award on the planet.


I honestly doubt that is going to matter considering the rave reviews this is getting. And how good the album in general is. I honestly have no doubt that it is going to win the Grammy for Album Of The Year.

His first album got raves also, yet he lost the Album of the Year Grammy to a dead guy's duet album. He didn't even win Best New Artist that year (he lost to Maroon 5). Likeability within a particular industry matters a lot for these awards shows that are not voted by the public (why do you think Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for a performance that any actress could've done right in a terrible movie?)

The guy's an a-hole (think what he did to Taylor Swift at the VMAs last year) and the music industry and the Grammys hate him. It doesn't matter how good the reviews for his album are, I'll bet you that at the 2012 Grammys (his album was released too late to be eligible for next year's awards) he will not win Album of the Year (this will also be because the Grammys don't give top awards to Hip Hop/Rap albums or songs - Outcast's Spealerboxx/The Love Below is the only Hip Hop album who ever won the Grammy for Album of the Year, and no Rap/Hip Hop track has ever won Record of the Year or Song of the Year).


My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has been WAY more critically raved then any of his other albums (or any other Hip-Hop album for that matter). Also, no, the reason why no Hip-Hop/Rap song has ever won the Record of the Year or Song of the Year award is because of the reception of Rap/Hip-Hop in general. Everybody would bitch if a Rap/Hip-Hop track won those awards (especially Bill O'Raily). Also, if the Grammies hate Kanye so much, how come he has 13 of them (and counting since it's SO obvious Kanye West will win a bunch of them in 2011 with this latest album and with the album he is doing with Jay-Z called "Watch The Throne"........unless Drake manages to make his second album as amazing as So Far Gone)?

He has no major Grammys (all of them are are in the Rap or R&B fields). A Grammy is a Grammy, but a major Grammy in the general field >>> a Grammy in the genre field (heck, even Obama has a Grammy in the genre field).

And Kanye his album won't be eligible for the 2011 Grammys (the eligibility period ended about 2 months ago and the nominees will be announced next month). His album will be eligible for the 2012 Grammys, and considering that it's a long time 'till then (well over a year), plus the fact that it's a Rap album, plus the fact that Kanye is disliked and makes a fool of himself by acting like a sore looser every time he looses a major Grammy = Bye bye General field love Kanye.
