Benny and Conway run laps around WSG. WSG has maybe one project I really fukk with, the rest is hype off that one + good features sprinkled throughout. He’s a rapper that regularly gets outshined by his features. Like every time.
imagine being wsg, hearing 500 ounces and thinking you have anything to add after marci and gibbs killed that shyt
I think West makes very dope mood/vibe/aesthetic music. He’s not an emcee in the way that Conway and Benny are. And he doesn’t really try to be.
I think he’s made some incredible work, despite his last couple projects being lackluster. Like
@Ty-Fife said..Flygod, Supreme Blientele, Pray for Paris, Awesome God, etc, are all great projects. I think he’s an excellent executive producer that knows how to build projects that highlight his strengths and downplay his weaknesses.
I definitely can’t listen to West anytime. I gotta be in the mood. Benny and Conway are easier listens in more situations.
Edit: You mentioned 500 Ounces and being out rapped by Marci and Gibbs. Like, I don’t even think West is attempting to out-rap them on there. He’s not an out-bar you type rapper, and I think he just tries to capture a vibe in his verses.
