Who cares if it's fair? The poll is what it is.

You can say that all you want but doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of his creative output has been in the realm of producing.

But there is such a thing as a bad rapper. There's a way to measure rap ability, based on effective use of lyricism and flow etc but there's no way to measure a good beat. That's my opinion on it anyway.
