Kids on KTT are always sure that doing some half assed X > Y calculations somehow validates their opinion

tbh not for much longer. ily a lot 🖤🖤🖤 hml

Or maybe I just feel like Kanye makes better music?

I don’t understand why it’s so out of bounds to compare legends. What does Kanye have to do to be compared to Prince, MJ, Bowie, Freddie, Elvis etc? He shouldn’t be excluded from the discussion of GOAT’s in music just because he makes rap music.

You seriously believe if Kanye West died tomorrow he wouldn't go out as a 'legend'?

ily babe talk to me discord

Thats like saying the guy in your avy is better than Ronalo

This makes no sense because all his previous songs with religious themes are highly acclaimed and loved. When you compare Ultralight Beam to the mess on JIK, you can see why some of us hate that god forsaken album

You didn't even include Dirty Mind, Controversy and S/t in OP

You prob copied some Prince album titles from RYM and went "hurr durr Kanye is better" out of boredom + being more familiar with Ye's catalog

Thread is an insult to our intelligence tbh

Also OP you're the guy who used to make a "Nasir is trash" thread every week for almost a year and then one day you "saw the light" and realized that it's a good album.

All bias aside he’d be an icon

He’s done so much for the culture and everyone knows who he is lol

Kanye cemented himself as legend many years ago but to compare him & claim he’s better than Prince is crazy

To be completely honest, Prince dropped WAY too much mid to be in the conversation.

The defence here is that Kanye released, 'Ye' and 'Jesus Is King', two albums that are commonly received as lesser quality than his previous work. - 'mid' on KTT.

2 albums vs Prince's total 'mid' works?

Yes Prince had INCREDIBLE highs, almost unmatched, but if you're excluding Kanye from the conversation for his 2 'mid' albums, Prince isn't even in the conversation.

Okay then tell me why do you think Prince is a better musician than Kanye?

Every Prince album from 1978 up to 1988 was a f***ing classic.

And he still had great albums after that.

Prince is a goat but he’s not better than Ye wtf lmao

Hahaha I totally forgot about this. But yes this is true. I may have been too harsh on Nasir at the beginning.

Very much so

Yes, I never denied that 10 year run. But you can't focus on ten years. You have to focus on the entire run. And there's some serious mid in that. Does any Prince fan not acknowledge the drop in quality?

I’ve noticed ALOT of posters were introduced to black music or music in general through Kanye West

I can tell due to several claims made by posters crediting Kanye as the creator, pioneer or some God like authoritarian figure in music

It’s gotten to crazy people feel the need to compare him/put him over Michael Jackson & now Prince

You all are delusional & disrespectful regardless if its opinionated

Dropped 11 8/10+ albums one by one without taking breaks

Mastered and excelled in every aspect of music, could sing his ass off, was the best guitarist in the world

S*** this man was literally a ONE MAN BAND at one point

Not at all

You really gassing him up

Might check a prince album now

I'm just stating facts. The same way you need water and food you also need Prince's music.

He found the sweet spot between music that's fun and accessible but also forward thinking and challenging. Combined funk, pop, R&B, rock, ballads, psychedelic and so on.

Both goat

He is great but just behind bowie ye and cohen imo
