No beef genuinely asking
Sep 9, 2021·1 replyBrickellBaysideHonestly idk how Ye gets such a pass for this 🤷🏾♂️
Like all the rappers he’s compared to write WAY MORE than he does lol
He doesn’t write, he doesn’t make beats, he’s just…
He makes beats. Stop with the cap.

People in his own damn camp said he doesn’t
Sep 9, 2021Kanye has surpassed being a rapper. He’s been there and done that.
Sep 9, 2021TvremoteThis is cap . First 3 albums been known outside of Jesus walks verse 1 , folks inputted lines but he didn't write any just spat lines in his head
Huh

And you believe them?
The three listening partys literally showed that he constantly works on the beats and productions. He’s clearly executing every track.
Daytona is a good example. You clearly hear that it’s 99% ye on the production.

His best verses used to just be him going in and u can hear him catching his breath mid verse, felt way more organic and less scripted than his raps rn. He somehow gave us a great album though so it seems like he’s gotten to a point where his raps aren’t that important anymore

YANDHInot even that but this is the reference OP was referring to. The pieces Ye combine very rarely sound like the final product. Is this comparable to Jesus Lord?

Sep 9, 2021none of us know the true process. it could be kanye coming up with concepts and writing part, then others fixing bars or changing things. it's a collaborative process. you're acting like kanye shows up at the studio and they just put on a beat and hand him a notepad, then he goes home.

In all honesty, I don't come to a Kanye album for the raps anymore. If anything, they've consistently been my least favorite part of the music for the past several albums - including Yeezus, which is my top Ye album. It's the orchestration that's uniquely Ye and has been since the beginning. No one could make Donda besides Kanye. It's greater than the sum of its parts.
Jail doesn't work as just Kanye's vocals over E*Vax's guitar, Francis/Dem Jointz's melodies/lyrics, Jay's verse, Mike Dean's synths/drums, etc. It works as the sum of it all. It's the Brian Wilson tradition of playing the studio in the modern era.

It really doesn’t take a whole lot for you to Google and see multiple artist get help with how to ride a beat, without getting help on their lyrics. Even Jay Z has had reference tracks done for himself.

Completely agree with this, Kanye’s raps have always come second to his production. It’s not that his rapping is bad, it’s just his production is so much more immaculate. I definitely listen to Kanye more for the production as well & less the lyrics, the only time I truly thought his lyrics matched his production was on MBDTF

ASAKIYou guys have to realize ghostwriting does not mean that Kanye literally does not write anything.
If someone mentions a bar could be better placed here rather than there, that's a credit and ghostwriting. If someone changes a word in a line to make it fit the rhythm, that's a credit and ghostwriting.
I do not understand this narrative that Kanye hasn't put a pen on his paper since like MBDTF. And even then, he's always used other people to complete his verses so I'm not even sure what folks are even looking for anymore.

BestInTheWorldGod Breathed is one of the only songs that you can tell is truly all the way Ye, usually when there’s noticeable grammar mistakes or words that just don’t go together in a sentence I assume it’s Ye
Hurricane has plenty of Kanye tells

If you think Kanye doesn’t do s*** on his albums you dumb dumb. No one can create the final product like him or cook up masterpieces like he can.
Also why y’all so quick to forget his 2018 era where he wrote all his bars on KSG & produces so many tracks on his own

That’s still getting writing help. Lyrics are not the only part of writing. I don’t know anything about any instances where jay z did that

It does but there was a reference done by someone, as you can hear in the LP1 version where the verse cuts between Kanye and the reference
Even tracks with Kanye tells aren’t necessarily all written by him, he either adds them or the writer thinks of Kanye in their head. Ant Clemons does a great job impersonating Kanye on the references for All Dreams Real and Cash to Burn

I can’t tell if Ye came up with those first bars up to “got your girl and she blowing on the dice” I don’t think he would’ve mumbled so hard if Ant had already finished the verse

Yes but that’s the thing tho... in that case the process seems to go:
1. Kanye does a mumble reference on the beat
2. A writer writes lyrics to replace the mumbles and records a reference
3. Kanye records the verseAll the bars that ant says sound like Kanye too, the writers know him and tap into his style and personality
