However, ALOT of more underground rappers have really good lyrics, that actually have meaning, great flow, and amazing production. Kanye west is more image than talent, he markets his music and he does it well, but he's no different really than any other mainstream rapper out there right now. He's created an image and his success is a result of that image.
