Kanye West is a million times better than any of the other rappers that receive any mainstream attention. There is no doubting that he is much more talented, hard-working, and creative than just about everybody else in the game plus he produces probably 30% of the rest of mainstream hip-hop (that might be hyperbolic), meaning he creates everything but the lyrics. Pretty much any artist of the hip-hop genre as good or better than him will be somebody that most people have not heard of because their lyrics go even further than Kanye's in the way of writing about real feelings instead of just going to the club.
Plus, have you listened to his new album? It's dark, it's depressing, it's weird, it's creative, there's a track that's a violin/piano instrumental, hate it or love it, at least he's doing something different and not promoting the same brain-washed, redundent music the rest of mainstream is.
