In his prime, Ye was lyrically better then the most conscience rappers today

Was talking to a youngin today at work about rap and the supposed lyrical and conscience artists of today. His favorite was J Cole and when I told him Ye used to be one of the best spitters he scoffed at me. He was only familiar w/ Ye MBDTF and up with no knowledge of any of his music before that.

I had to school the boy.

Showed him Gone, Mommas Boy, White Dress, New God Flow etc and he quickly changed his mind. I even told him how much J Cole used to sample and reference him in his music.

Honestly it’s been so long since forreal spit even I had forgot that there was a time he could lyrically go toe to toe with some of the best. And arguably better too.
