i don’t think i’ve seen an artist innovate so much and be so mainstream while doing it in that amount of time

even the little details of the random sample vox in between his bars on I Don’t Like remix still perplex me.like no one even does s*** like that no more

2007-2010>>>

Michael and prince > any Kanye era for creativity

how is michael more creative

He was in the studio making sure it all sounded perfect too just like Kanye. Michael wasn’t know as a producer but he was just as hands on in the process as Kanye with the exception of Kanye when he first came out. Michael has human defining music that will live forever past any genre. That in itself is more creative than anything Kanye will ever do.

Prince in the ‘80s is what OP is thinking about
Would argue Bowie in the ‘70s too
