breh i think how many artists that claim to be artist" and either have ghost writers or have ghost producers
He wasn't alive long enough to be IMHO. Maybe most influential, most talented, or best of his generation but not the greatest. Artists in the greatest category span decades imo cause they were able to be relevant even when the times change. Even though Clapton always says he was the best he saw I'd put Clapton above him as far as rock artists go.

That's not always the case but I do agree that not knowing instruments
for some artists definitely plays into the wack music they make.
With that said there are people who can play instruments but in Black music
that isn't Jazz or the Blues, instrument playing usually plays the background.
Terrace Martin is a highly talented jazz saxophonist, plays piano and raps.
J. Cole can play piano, produces most of his records and raps.
Oddisee composes and uses session musicians, he also raps.
Quick plays instruments, uses session musicians, he also raps.
And then you've got forward thinking guys like Flying Lotus, Thundercat etc.
There are quite a few black musicians who play instruments and make music
that isn't "Disposable".
And to be fair you can't rush a song in "Five minutes" even if you aren't using a "traditional instrument".
There is still the song writing aspect which means there's a lot of time that gets spent working on that before you ever
step in a booth.
The biggest problem in black music today is the major label system.
Back then they had a tight little network with 106&Park,The Radio and
having control over black artists through the major label system which
limited avenues for exposure.
The internet put a baseball bat to that system.
Without it I honestly think I wouldn't know of the labels and artists I do.
^This.
Dudes don't know that The Funk Brothers at motown could read
a lead sheet and play a song competently in a few minutes.
It comes from being highly skillful jazz musicians
They only had three tracks in the early days of Motown so they literally
were doing songs in just a few minutes. They couldn't go back and just
edit out all the mistakes or rely on playing over their mistakes
and having them edited out.
You had to be ON POINT.

Music with vocals = GOAT is Stevie Wonder
Instrumental (Non-Classical related) = Miles Davis
Hendrix is the one revolutionized the guitar from a Rock POV though
