Kanye West

The best and most prolific hip-hop artist of the 21st century. He rose to prominence through producing, mostly notably for his work on Jay-Z's The Blueprint. Is Kanye an asshole? Most definitely. Is he wealthier than 99% of his detractors? Yes. Was he wrong in saying that Beyonce's video was better than Taylor Swift's? ANY RETARD CAN SEE THAT HE ISN'T. Is Kanye West a genius? Listen to Graduation or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (arguably the best rap album of all time, on par with Biggie's Ready to Die, Nas' Illmatic, and Jay-Z's The Blueprint,) and tell me he's not a genius. He's also got the Metascores. His honest lyrics, unique producing, and clever use of sampling has, whether anyone likes it or not, changed hip-hop music.

Kanye West is a douche bag. He's also worth millions, people still buy his music, and he's a critical darling.
