Slow Groove did a terrible job of convincing you on Kanye's lyrical abilities, so I'll have a go.

Here's an extract from Blame Game;

'We walk away like strangers in the street
Gone for eternity
We erased one another
So far from where we came
With so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
Lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
Hatred and attitude tear us entirely'

Admittingly this song also contains a lot of misogyny and posturing, but this part is a good use of Kanye scrapping the pussy hound persona and talking from the heart.
Not bad. I wouldn't say my mind is blown, but those are okay lyrics. I went back and listened to that song to get a better sense of the context and still wasn't exactly blown away, but there are elements of the track that I liked, especially the spliced together rap that starts at about 2:30.
