I found this quote of Kanye online. and personally i think he's full of himself. he thinks he has the best lyrics in the world! i can think of 5 ppl right away that better lyrics, plus better performance and delivery than him: Nas, Common, KRS One, Dead Prez, even Jay Z has better lyrics.
“I feel like my lyrics are, if not THE, then equal to, the realest lyrics out,” he says. “I connected with so many people without talkin’ about guns and drugs. … It’s harder to go to work 365 days than shoot a person in one day.
When people come up to you like, ‘That was really good,’ you’re supposed to play stupid, like, ‘Wow, you really think so?’ Because people can’t really handle the truth,” he continues. “But I am the truth. I’d rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I’m not.”
tell me what u think of this quote. i hate him even more now. i hope his album flops, which it may not cuz of his record label. they'll push it everywhere.

I think that he really and truly writes from the heart. He is someone that is not afraid to speak on the truths of society.
If he didn't believe in what he writes, then he is a phony.
I don't think he is trying to diss those other artists, you have to admit, even the successfull artists create music that will sale instead of taking a chance to speak about real issues.
I think he is a prodigy of KRS, Common, and Nas.
Jay Z has a lot of "commercial" rap songs that made it big due to the great music and hooks, mixed in with the truthfull songs. People don't just struggle with guns and drugs. There are other things in life that need to be addressed, and he is not afraid to tell it, and let people know that he means what he writes about, and you HAVE to be a strong person and stand by yourself and bring more awareness. He's becoming a leader in his own right, and I appreciate him believing in himself.
We teach our kids to be confidant, but then we hate others when they are.
So try to over look that big ego, and try to understand the passion. I'd rather hear HIS lyrics than, "Hay Bay Bay, and Chicken Noodle Soup,and It's your birthday, and Magic Stick, and Party Like a Rock Star" etc. which is music saying absolutely NOTHING.
:~)

I don't understand where your getting your thoughts from... read the quote again, he never said he had the *BEST* lyrics in the game, he said the had the **REALEST** and thats pretty true... like he said its *SO MANY* people rappin about guns and drugs, take Lil Wayne for instance:
(he's been rapping since he was 11 years old, he's 24 right now... that means he's been livin pretty good for nearly half his life...so unless he was sellin coke and killin dudes from 1- 10 years old he's a liar in a bunch of his lyrics)
you can't fault Kanye for being true to himself... you have every right to dislike him, but you *CAN'T* fault him... he's doin what 95% of rappers need to do
