Ratings key: 
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band.  Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good.  More than a few songs you like.  You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area.  Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh.  There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good.  You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all.  Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time.  You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

Nailed it. Giving old Kanye a 9 and new Kanye and 3, minus one point because I haven't been able to get a pair of Yeezys for retail in like 7 months. 5/10.

Can we talk about how Faith No More has a higher ranking than Prince, Eminem, Linkin Park, Weezer, and Madonna?

My first music vote and I give him a 10/10 with many, many good reasons. I'm very particular about music and production value.

His music is up there. I'm not quite a fan of his vocals or persona.

Wow, I'm beginning to think you guys don't like music.

Gold Digger - he takes a piece of the chorus of a Ray Charles song, gives it to Jamie Foxx and turns it into a masterpiece.
Stronger - he hears a Daft Punk song, pulls it apart and pieces it back together for a beat on this one.
Through The Wire - he got into a near fatal car accident, had reconstructive surgery to put his face back together and recorded this with his jaw wired shut and it went to number 1.
Otis - taking a piece of a verse from an old Otis Redding song from the 1960s and using it as a chorus, he put this song together and you may not notice this song has no chorus. It's all rapping the whole way though.

Name me one other artist that writes all of their own music, creates their own beats and also performs their own vocals. It's nearly impossible with today's music industry but that's what Kanye does because he's a genius. If you're giving him a zero, you obviously don't understand what talent is, you just don't like looking at his face.

Are you high? How can you say “who else writes their own music” (basically every metal band) while naming all the other artists he ripped off? 

College dropout was sick. But he isnt that amazing, TONS of hiphop artists would annihilate him. And he fell off the deep end BIG time. Comparing himself to jesus and being some weird artifical MAGA surrogate for attention? Too weird now for me . Especially because his newer stuff just isnt good.

I'm not even just considering solo Kanye, have you heard Watch the Throne with JayZ? Mercy, Clique, New God Flow, and Cold off GOOD Music Cruel Summer?

Just hearing he verse from Mercy in my head gets me all antsy in my pantsies

Big Sean was fresh on that too and 2 Chainz, dammit I’m going to listen to it on repeat

College Drop Out, 808s and Heart Breaks, Ye, Daytona, and Kids See Ghosts are all great albums. Easy 9/10 for me

Dead on. College dropout is a classic album. Through the wire will always be a great song. Kanye today is really just sad to watch and read about. His music is godawful on top of the fact that mental issues have clearly taken a hold of him.
