      love how he let him do his thing while he was jsut absorbing the moment. I think he just realised theres a lot more to Kanye West than everyone thought. I also think the exaggerated gesture on camera was to help bolster Kanyes confidence and help reassure him he is as good as he thinks and let him know other people he respects are starting to see it

      It's not that Jay's verses were wack, they could've worked on another song. They just sounded so phoned in and out of place, you could tell they weren't in the same studio when it was recorded.

    i love the line at 2:03 "been baptized bout 3 or 4 times" followed by the dope flow for the first half of the next line, the switchup in the rhyme scheme to '-tized' and 'times' rather than a rhyme for 'scrub' heightens your attention then he hits you with the best display of technical (if you want to call flow that) ability in the whole verse, I wonder if he did that intentionally or if it's just coincidence, same effect either way.

There's that saying "jack of all trades or a master at one", Kanye is truly a master of all trades regarding music. Mix that with confidence, a good education, political interest, and a chip on your shoulder and you have greatness. Once in a century artist.

      I think his latter 3 albums can also be considered classics. 808s had some big hits and had a big influence on a lot of artists who came after it, like Drake and Frank Ocean. MBDTF was amazing and is definitely a modern classic. Yeezus is also amazing, although very different from the rest of his work.
