Kanye West: the greatest artist of our generation or a cautionary tale

if kanye had stayed focused on production instead of chasing every headline, we'd probably be calling him the greatest without the asterisk. dude literally shaped modern hip hop's sound.

Kanye literally changed music production forever and nobody can deny that. His influence on hip hop is unmatched, case closed.

honestly the guy revolutionized hip hop production and fashion when i was traveling through tokyo and saw his influence everywhere, so dismissing him as just a cautionary tale ignores his actual artistic impact.

Look, Kanye literally changed music production forever and anyone saying he's just a cautionary tale is clearly threatened by innovation and refuses to appreciate actual genius when it's right in front of them.

calling him just a cautionary tale conveniently ignores how his production innovations literally shaped hip hop, right when critics needed a villain narrative most. convenient timing that?
