This is the real shit. To be honest, fuck kayne as a person. But holy fuck, he could rap the mutha' fuckin' pants off of me man. This is the way rap should be done. They make it look easy. Justin Bieber, Bruno mars, take notes boys. This is how music is done.

you have a point. people need to stop hating just for the sake of hating without even giving a new rapper a chance. that is true, but Kanye is not as good as Nas, Rakim, or KRS-One, which is clearly evident in this song. Don't get me wrong, I like Kanye and think he is good, but not that good. They are on a whole different level. Also, you said people would still hate if he "spit the best verse ever," but he didn't, so you will never know.

Kanye's made tons of classics, and that's why hes on this track. Rakim and KRS One are some of the reasons why Nas is a rapper, and Nas is one of the reasons Kanye is rapper. the hip hop audience is so close-minded. If you guys opened your ears, eyes, and mind you'd see that this collab is actually one of the greatest things that ever happened to music. Instead of going "fuck new music" or "hiphop is dead" why not just encourage and listen to good music, old school and new school.

Kanye was good. Before his later albums. Twisted dark fantasy is a masterpiece from a production point of view but from a rapping point of view it lacks. I wouldn't put him lyrically over anyone in this video except maybe krs because krs makes educated political rap.

i listened to this with as little bias towards disliking kanye as possible but he still reeks of arrogance imo. also on a side note he just doesn't belong in a song named classic, we have yet to see if he'll be remembered as fondly in 10 years

Agreed. Most people discredit rappers nowadays because they don't have the same flow as someone from the 90's. Of course they don't have the same flow, what you expect rap to stay in a stand still? What's funny is if a new rapper came out with a flow like one of the greats from the 90's these people would hate on him for copyin someone.

Actualy, I bet people hate on him cuz he uses autotune and sings about bitches and money.

good point, but Kanye really isn't on Nas's level. Or Rakim's or KRS ONE's. He is better than people give him credit for tho, I respect how he came up and he can say some crazy good lines. But I think he kinda sold out, and on top of that I've never been a big Kanye fan anyways lol.
