Rappers have always been quick to put Kanye West on a song. Early on some probably did it as a means to getting one of his beats. Later, maybe ’cause he was a nice guy. Then, obviously, it was because he was a superstar and selling point. But we always secretly thought a part of it was that these rappers, competitive as they are, just didn’t feel threatened by ‘Ye, lyrically. Take Jay-Z, for example, who just threw out Run This Town, the new single off Blueprint 3 featuring none other than Kanye West. Well guess what, Big Homie? Lil bro here fucked around and murdered you on your own shit!
READ: Kanye West’s 10 Best Scene-Stealing Guest Verses
They talked shit about Slum Village.
Whoever it is is a shaft sucking idiot, hands down
good post!
LMAO @ Jin
umm, no. im afraid not. its funny how everyone who sucks kanyes dick all day thinks he kills everyone on their own shit. the only person kanye ever killed on their own shit was himself with an entire album of autotune about his poor broken heart. and honestly i am a fan of kanye, i have quite a few of his songs, but people need to chill out. guess what big hommie? kanye will never be near Jay-z level.
this shit is amazing
he also sonned cudi on “i make her say” and cas on that 2step remix. but he clearly took the l on “southside” with common..is “number one” with pharrell a rap-record?
Wayne murdered Ye on the Lollipop Remix, but it was close. But that Safe sex/Latex/Late text lines took the win.
But Ye does go in on his guest verses, His dilated peoples feature was ill.
But Reverse this, and see who murdered Ye on his own shit?…
camelface stans are hurting
I agree with most on that list, but that Slum Village comment was WAAAY off the mark, can tell he never heard an Elzhi verse
murdered clipse?, both of them??
naaaaaaah
I love people who call themselves fans of someone, then go on to bash them the next sentence (walrus).
wow they really said slum village was = to lil romeo………
camelface stans are hurting
========================================
just thinking that too
list is aight i guess.
i haven’t heard half of these due to them being by rappers i can’t stand and won’t listen to just on GP (rick ross, wayne, jin, jeezy, game) but the rest for the most part are probably right, minus the ignorant slum village insult.
the “get by” remix needed to be on there though. he pretty much made the rest of the song irrelevent after he killed that with his verse. having the best verse on a song with mos, talib, jay-z and busta in 2003 deserves a mention…
^^^@Myth_Seeker I totally agree. When I read that I was like this article just went straight to hell. Lil Romeo kills SLUM VILLAGE…DEAD :|
Whoever wrote that shit comparing Slum Village to Lil Romeo should be fired, nah fuck it, should be banned from writing bout hip-hop. Clearly they haven’t done their research.
yeah ye did body some rappers but big sean got him on glenwood
On the diamond remix i thought i spazzed then my big brother came through and kicked my ass
kanye is a extremely mediocre rapper and lol @ u guys sukking his dik
Didn’t even bother reading the article after I seen the Slum Village fuckery.. ignorant ass muhfucka.
Kanye is nice on the guest verses and he killed it on Dilated Peoples – This Way, but this article is kinda of a stretch.. this coming from a huge (rapping) Kanye fan too.
lmfao JIMMY! u hater probably suckin drakes dick
Whoever that writer is, he/she is a fucking moron. You can tell they couldn’t have quoted not one of those songs before researching for the article. The shit about Slum Village is proof positive that the writer is a clown.
It was already mentioned but how thw fuck can you compare slum village to punk ass lil romeo. That article single handedly killed complexes rap cred. Fuckin week
This was a good article, I mean those all were nice verses by Kanye and I would agree he did steal the show of some of those songs. But who the really should of did this article on was Ludacris. Anyone who says in 98% of the tracks he’s featured on he doesn’t completely kill it is a fuckin lier who doesn’t know shit about hip-hop. So yeah West did his thing, but Luda always kills features.
common merked him on make her say, but i have to admit he was the best on kinda like a big deal. and good god would elzhi tear him to shreds
@jaywall lol wayne murdered ye but it was close. r u trying to make sense or are u just following the wayne model i dont have to make sense i make money. n it was a good post till that slum village bullshit
elzhi>>>>ye lyrically period dot …
Go back and listen to ‘Run This Town’ again. Listen to the simplicity in Kanye’s verse. Really, he outshines Jay Z rhyming Joe Blow, with no homo. Just because you easily understood everything the nigga said don’t make his shit ‘hot’. Shit the references to Rakim in the second verse alone shit on Kanye’s needless rant at the end. Matter of fact, tell Hov take that shit back to the drawing board and give us a third verse. Ya’ll young niggas learn the difference between a few hot bars/lines, and well developed verse.
Fin
First, Kanye did not murder Jay on Run This Town.
Second, why is this article all on Wayne’s dick? Wayne was murdering everybody? Since fucking when?
Third, Lil’ Romeo would body Slum Village? What fucking planet is this asshole from? Lil’ Romeo couldn’t body Lil’ Romeo on a track.
haha true shiet. Ye’ murdered that shiet on Run This Town, i was just talkin’ bout that wit my homeboy, cuz he got that song bumpin’ in his car stereo system
personally im more of a fan of ye than of weezy.. okay lollipop was tie but on that barry bonds track.. ye murders him.. good list too.. and i also don’t agree with the lil romeo>slum village comment
wow!!! i cant believe no1 mentioned on this site or thee other about Ye’s verse on Jadakiss’s song “Gettin it in”
: )
My apologies are you into astrology
Cause, um, im trying to make it to Uranus
See, that’s a little Don Juan game
All across your chest like Sean John name
Niggas trynna figure out since Kan came
Who the rookie of the year, me or Lebron James
!!!!
i wouldnt say kanye MURDERED jay on Run This Town, but he did go harder than jay. and to say that the lollipop remix was a tie would be a lie, Kanye smashed wayne on that joint and the barry bonds track. i dont think kanyes ever really been “murdered” but he has some songs where he didnt have the better verse. but he still came hard on it.
For the person that said who ever murdered Kanye on his own shit
“Diamonds From Sierre Leone Remix” (Ft. Jay-Z) Murdered him.
Never Let Me Down – (Ft Jay-Z) Murdered him.
That’s crazy though… The first thing I thought when I heard Run This Town the other night on the radio was “Don’t tell me Kanye’s verse was better than both of Hov’s verses!”
Good Post.
2 words: the preface.
Yeah, like everybody said…The Slum Village comment = FAIL….
@bewrightt, Wayne did do better than Ye on that verse, and it was a close race on that track. Outta all the tracks they’ve done together:
ye’s win:
Barry Bonds, Swagger Like Us.
weezy’s wins:
Lollipop Remix, Maybach Music 2, Cant Tell Me Nothing, Go Hard.
equal:
Arms Race Remix, See You In My Nightmares,
Ye and Wayne are just about equal rappers, with Wayne having a better flow and delivery.
Yeah, lyrically, I’d take Elzhi over ‘Ye.
@ Backpack
Never Let Me Down (one of my favorite Kanye tracks) was actually a leftover from Jay’s Blueprint album, that’s why Jay has 2 verses, and I actually disagree and think that Kanye’s one verse was better and more meaningful on that one.
And the thing about Slum Village?!?! Nothing can be said.
some of those “best lines” were off, especially since some of the verses had better lines in them….sv comment is off too, fuck outta here with that….definitely should’ve had run this town on there…jay got bodied…
i haven’t heard half of these due to them being by rappers i can’t stand and won’t listen to just on GP (rick ross, wayne, jin, jeezy, game) but the rest for the most part are probably right, minus the ignorant slum village insult.
the “get by” remix needed to be on there though. he pretty much made the rest of the song irrelevent after he killed that with his verse. having the best verse on a song with mos, talib, jay-z and busta in 2003 deserves a mention…
——————————————
no way. Jays verse on that track = one of the greatest verses this millenia.
And Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix = one of the greatest unsolved murders in recent times by Jay-z lol
but I agree with the selfish one, i was listenin to the song and thinkin the same just this mornin! wierd. “was it the polo sweater or the jesus piece?, family in high places like Jesus niece”
plus the dilated peoples verse is one of my favourites: “I dont know whats betta, gettin paid or gettin laid I jus know when i’m gettin one the others gettin away”
oh yeh shouts to Luda on the Murder front though, he’s like the Jeffery Dahmer of this shyt haha
oh yeh shouts to Luda on the Murder front though, he’s like the Jeffery Dahmer of this shyt haha
^^^^^^
truer words were never spoken lol.
@Jaywall
you think wayne has the better delivery?? you cant even understand him half the time.. im not hatin on wayne or anything im just ye is better
I’m kind of disappointed they just posted one line examples of the verses. I think this article would be better served by a website, than a magazine IMO because you could have each Kanye verse, and why specifically it was better than the main artist’s contribution. and for the record, just about everyone between College Dropout & Late Registration he did a song with got outdone. Not saying it doesn’t extend beyond that, but that was a time when Kanye was on EVERYTHING from any new artist coming up, I remember being broke and having the radio to go off of, rather than buying every CD release (or now iTunes release) – and Kanye was on EVERYTHING.
One thing though; Kanye brings out the best of Jeezy I think, his verses are elevated on tracks with Kanye. Not hating on Jeezy or anything, just saying it’s something I’ve noticed.
**just sayin ye is better
Yeah, I will admit theres only one song I couldnt understand wayne with autotune, and that was Cant Believe It, but eventually I understood him. But overall their lyrics are equal, but flow/delivery wise, wayne is better.
He made:
“Boy I act a donkey, He-haw/” sound dope.
Ok ok good post, I like when people get speakin about heavy rap topics!!!!
i’ll keep it short as possible
Run This Town-Kanye and Rihanna>Jay-z.Period
Swagger Like US-T.I>Jay>Wayne>Kanye
Mr Carter-Jay-z>Wayne
Put On-Kanye>Jeezy.
D.O.A> the nutsack area of “the whole Autotune using community”
These were all dope records,but everyones got different opinions I respect that not gonna argue,I WILL SAY THIS IN CAPS,KANYE WILL NEVER BE A BETTER MC THAN ELZHI PERIOD!!!!!He will make more money yes but don’t fool yourself into believing that EVER,but YE did his thing on that record.
I don’t know why anyone is tripping off this article. Seriously, these are his best guest features lines they could grab? All of them listed are wack. Ye’s best material comes when it was ghost written by Common, Consequence, and others.
When did Kanye become a good lyricist? I’m confused. You can tell how far the game has fallen when Ye is considered a dope lyricist. Always been a tight song maker due to his ability to connect different folks together but he’s always shined on the beats and been poorer vocally and lyrically.
I CANT BELIEEV NOBODY MENTIONED ”BARRY BONDS”…IT WAS THE ULTIMATE SONG ON WHICH KANYE OUTSHINED SOMEONE…AND EVEN MORE WHEN IT WAS ”BEST RAPPER ALIVE” LIL MUFUKKIN WAYNE:
They said he’s going crazy and we seen this before
But I’m doing pretty good as far as geniuses go
And I’m doing pretty hood in my pink polo
Nigga please, how you gonna say I ain’t no low-head
Cos my Dior got me more model head
I’m insulted
You should go head
And bow so hard till your knees hit your forehead
And the flow just hit code red
Top 5 MC’s you ain’t gotta remind me
Top 5 MC’s you gotta rewind me
I’m high up on the line, you can get behind me
But my head’s so big you can’t sit behind me
@walrus (up near the top)
you are a fucking idiot… kanye is the best rapper in the game right now no body is even close jay fell the hell off. if you look at CAREERS jay has him yeah but right now kanye>>>>>>jay. besides 808s was dope and different… you ignorant sea creature
@james
ye always has the best punchlines… his lyrics aren’t always the deepest in meaning (although, see: college dropout, late registration, graduation, and 808′s and heartbreak) on guest spots but he always sounds dope as hell especially on swagger like us he FUCKING KILLS that and go hard he slaughtered it and lollipop remix was one of the hottest verses spit in recent memory
not to mention put on… i just looped his verse and the chorus. and
@realtalk82
how can you say kanye had the worst verse on swagger like us? he ate up everyone on that track
kanye reuses verses like a mothafucka lol.
listen to freshman adjustment mixtapes. I swear, he reused like every verse on those shits, which proves that unless the verse is on his own album (meaning all his guest verses/non album tracks) he doesnt really rap about shit, he’s just throwing some random punchlines about his flyness in a sequence.
College Dropout is one of my favorite albums, because of the honesty, the production, the modesty (on most of the songs, due to him being humbled by the car crash) and the humor. Since I’d say about post late registration (after 06) he;s only kept the humor.
Slum Village > Lil Romeo
but uh.. the lollipop remix and put on verse were the illest to me
http://www.3rdworldent.com/2009/07/complex-loses-some-credibility.html
*DEAD* at the Jin comment!
Jin is dope. I don’t know what complex is talkin about.
true!!!
but Big Sean hurt Kanye on that Glenwood track!
kanyes best guest spot was on south park
The writer lost all credibility in my book when he said
“Slum Village – “Selfish” (2004)
BEST LINE: “If y’all fresh to death, then I’m deceased”
• To keep it a hundred percent, these guys woulda gotten bodied by Lil Romeo, so ‘Ye probably needn’t brag about this one.”
Stopped reading the article when I read that. And as a whole that song is amazing!
i’m pretty sure they’re only talking about that song in regards to slum village. that is personally one of my favorite songs of all time… but that’s just me. i could understand that their lyrics are extremely simple, but it’s single. for the radio. you can’t be on some typical elzhi shit and expect radio retards to understand it. kanye just knows how to make better radio songs than other people, that’s why most of these songs on the list were singles for the other artists.
Someone already mentioned this in those comments, but Kanye has been outshined a few times on his own stuff, most notably (for me) by Lupe on Touch the Sky…
‘Yes, yes, yes guess who’s on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the Third.’
A new one that Ye murdered the god y’all call Drake on was Digital Girl….Ye’s verse easily outshined Drakes.
Isn’t it common knowledge that Ye didn’t write most of the material from his first two albums? Kind of like saying Dr.Dre is a good lyricist when it’s all ghosted. Ye even admitted to it in the public eye and claimed he will give credit when it’s due and will no longer practice.
His punchlines are average and his vocals are poor. He just doesn’t have a strong voice. I liked all of his albums because the comprehensive product is dope but his lyrics aren’t all that.
I would have to say Drake murdered the fuck out of Kanye’s beats off 808 I forgot which one it was but he embarassed Kanye on it.. I wish Drake would always spit like that, dude should work with Primo do shit with Elzhi and Little Brother, fuck is that Lil Wayne bullshit
