To add. If we're going in the producer category, I wouldn't even have Kanye in the top 3 hip hop producers (current or very recent).
I think the word genuis is being set way to low a bar here. Did Einstein just moderately or impressively add to physics? No, he crushed it. He redefined it and changed a school of thought and the world.
Kanye has made great contributions for sure. But he hasn't crushed the genre or changed how people think about music.
He is not a genuis.
