His best quality isn't his lyrics I agree, but when a guy has a flow so good and production so good then it makes it hard to care. Rap's about 2 primary things-the lyrics and the beats. Kanye's already got one nailed, and he's pretty good at the other one too. He's had 2 fantastic albums and he's still young-he's got plenty of time to improve.

Well this is where we disagree. alot. I don't think he has good flow. I don't think he has any flow, at all. I don't think his lyrics are bad, I think they are god awful, and that a dyslexic monkey could write better lyrics than him. He's a pretty good producer, but that alone isn't nearly enough to make up for all of his other huge shortcomings as an artist.
