Say what you want about Kanye, but the sheer complexity of this musical arrangement should make you at least acknowledge that musically, the guy has an eerily fantastic mind. This is beautiful!

M Kabay It really is that strong of an arrangement ma. If someone were to say that he was just a stupid rapper like I've heard before, I'd submit this as proof of the contrary.

Nah. He's still hip hop.

@low9975 7 лет назад

He used to be hip hop, not to say he's still not fantastic. Although I do feel disappointed by his last two albums, as they feel more like experimental concept albums, that doesn't mean Turbo-Grafx 16 will as well (and the name feels like graduations album art to me, so there may be hope yet).

Always always loved Kanye. He pretty much made Jay Z with his beats. Jay has many skills on his own but wouldn’t be what he is without Ye! The dude has always had a creative mind but this puts it over the top. Plus man can rap and has real shit to rap about, plus everything else he’s done. Definitely a legit person. Don’t care how anyone feels him. That’s how he had to be and just look where it got him. Then his spiritual movement, which I haven’t yet sought out.
