Who Are Some Artists That You Would Give the Prestiged "Genius" Label To?

I would even say Tyler the Creator. I just "sense" brilliance in him and Jaden. To be able to express oneself so well at such an early age is impressive to me

Nas

The older i get the more i appreciate Pac. Listened to Changes a few weeks ago and was amazed at how relevent every line is today.

Yall throwing genius around like its a lot of them. There's a only few people in any art form or industry that should be considered a genius. Michael Jackson was the last genius in music IMO

Pharrell
Eminem
Lupe

You think MJ could write poetry on the level of a Lupe or Joe Budden? You think MJ could come up with a Mural?

The GOAT

Michael Jackson was so profecient at an early age too. He was a premier vocalist before puberty.

Flying Lotus- Primarily for the fusion of IDM, Trip-Hop, Jazz, psychedelia and incorporating other styles under the electronic genre. Not to mention how his vision has seemingly made the leap to film almost flawlessly.

The Neptunes (Pharrell and Chad)
Prince
Quincy Jones
Babyface
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
timbaland
Missy Elliot
Stevie Wonder

Rappers
Eminem
jay-z
Kanye West
outkast

As you can tell I idolize producers and songwriters but it is genius if one can create constant art that millions of people will love.
