Nah man not at all. Just a difference of opinion. If I felt that way I would have removed myself from the conversation, I don't participate in forum warrior debates.

If you said that to me about 8 years ago I would have totally agreed but I am different now. I don't look for sound in hiphop at all, it's about lyrics for me (when considering talent), minus the classics which were just such a huge part of my life that they will always be appreciated. Also, I bump mainstream rap when driving because I only have a radio and as I stated earlier I prefer it in bar/club environments. I just don't hold it in high regard when I consider what defines a talented MC.
However, aside from a few songs I really don't like Kanye songs the moment he opens his mouth. It's a shame really because I like his beats but his arrogance and ****ty MC presence ruins it for me.
Also, I won't shun a song based on who it's made by. If I like the song I like the song, I got over being a music snob and telling people their musical opinions are wrong a while ago. My opinions may differ and sometimes I will express that difference but at the end of the day I recognize that music is a completely personal thing and there are no ways that I know of to define what makes a song good or bad without imposing strict parameters on the debate.
to me Kanye sucks.
to you Kanye is awesome.
You aren't wrong, I just don't share your opinion. I just told you I enjoyed that second CyHi track your linked.
The discussion Manky and I just had didn't focus on Kanye as an artist, it was about his influence on hiphop.
