Don't you just LOVE Kanye West?

This reminds me of something we say at work rather often - more education can be an extremely dangerous thing. :smiley:

Yeah, he didn’t really do all that well. And no, he doesn’t freestyle in his songs, but that’s a great measure of how good a lyricist a rapper really is, how well they come up with material.

It sure is Vicki. It sure is. scene wipe

Oh I beg to differ sir. While I don’t know rap as well as the next person, my experience in other performance fields leads me to suspect that being able to come up with material on-the-fly isn’t a particular prerequisite for being good at it. Like, with comedy, I’ve found that sketch or stand-up is much better than improv comedy. That being said, I can’t really evaluate Kanye because I only know one song. But it sounds like he at least can’t improv well :stuck_out_tongue:
