and tbh while it's not the most cleverly written stuff ever, i still think alot of the lines are memorable and fun to listen to. and if you're saying this is the worst set of rhymes you've ever heard then have you heard alot of other lyrics permeating the hip hop atmosphere today?

I'll rephrase: worst rhymes by somebody who is supposed to be a very major hip-hop artist. I mean, Jay-Z at his very worst rhymes better than this.
I'm totally with you with regards taking music as a whole rather than just focusing on one aspect. But surely, where it comes to rap, bad actual rapping and rhyming must detract from the final product? I can understand this being "fun", but it is also childish and empty. Most the time it almost feels as if West doesn't really care about the rhymes.
On the plus side, the record is hook-laden and is catchy. But I'm sorry, the words are truly garbage.
