Uggghhhh...
I consider musical genius as those who have created or redefined a genre. Kanye has done neither of these things.
He's talented, he's creative. He's better than average. Maaaaybe even great. But genius is a tall tall bar. He's not a once in a generation talent. We disagree, and that's fine. But don't condescend to me about not knowing about music or music production. I actually know a ton about those and have played and worked in those circles.
It's art, people are going to disagree.
