    First of all. How is not adding the actual MUSIC of it not part of being an artist? yes producers are artists.
    definition of artist:
    a person who works in one of the performing arts, as an actor, musician, or singer; a publicperformer: a mime artist; an artist of the dance.

    I would consider a producer a musician. But really it is not too hard to understand how adding guitar or whatever to rap vocals is part of being an artist.

    How is biggie a producer????

      i was being sarcastic like puffy as a rapper. (terrible one)

      if you want to go by that meaning than youre correct. there are many producers who arent known but make good beats they arent known as artists they are known as producers. there is a difference between the production side of the industry and being a rapper. i dont put them in the same category.

          If we are talking about more than rap ability and just music in general Kanye is #1 and it's not really close.

                Not just no, but fukk no.

                I don't understand how he earned this label of being some amazing musical artist.. His music is awful and generally sounds like shit. I don't care how 'complicated' it may be, if it sounds like dirty garbage.

                On top of that, he's a giant douchebag and miserable human being.

                  I don't like him because he's a whiny little bitch. The dude would have been laughed off stage in the 90's, if not beaten down behind stage because he's such a little fukkin bitch. He's the Bieber of hip hop.

                  His sports bandwagoning alone, good god.

                    We aren't in the 90s tho. We are in 2014. Those 'if we were in the 90s' arguments are retarded because some 80/90s rappers wouldn't have had careers in the 2010s either. You think Kurtis blow or Eazy E would have had a career if it were 2014? lol Kurtis Blow would be laughed off stage if he rapped like that today

                    Before Kanye came along you had to be hard or gangsta. He allowed rappers like Lupe, Drake, J cole, Kendrick, Chance, Childish Gambino, Tyler and earl sweatshirt to exist. I think it is great how rappers don't have to put on a fake image to make it.

                    Before Drake blew up labels wanted to sign him and give him a fake gangsta backstory, but he took the risk of being himself and it worked out.

                        thank you for proving my point for me. yes we are in 2014 and the 90's artists are still in semi-regular rotation on the radio. when it was the 90's you didnt get much play if you were from the 80's. the talent is so great yet watered down now or that all of the 90's artists created classics which was my original point in this thread. 90's best era in hip hop

                                          I'm not sure what you mean by "hard," but the gangsta part is just not true and I'm pretty sure the "hard" part is not true either.

                                          Andre 3000, Heiroglyphics, Jurassic 5, Living Legends, Atmosphere..... etc.

                                          The list could go on and on with successful rappers who were not hard or gangsta before Kanye West.

                                              I never really paid attention to this song as I enjoyed the rest of the album better then the singles he was putting out. Then I read an article where Pusha T was ranting and raving about how great this song was so I gave it another careful listen and realized for some reason I was missing the whole beauty of the song. I would say Kanye has a bunch of better songs but this is top 10 for sure in my book.

                                                    None of those artists are relevant except for Andre 3000. I meant in the mainstream obviously. Andre 3000 talked about selling drugs and guns...obviously you haven't heard much outkast

                                                            Andre 3000, Heiroglyphics, Jurassic 5, Living Legends, Atmosphere..... etc.

                                                            The list could go on and on with successful rappers who were not hard or gangsta before Kanye West.
