Kanye West is the greatest male musician alive today in my opinion. Whether or not you believe that is up to you, but do you think he is a legend?

-He has inspired numerous rappers today - Drake, The Weeknd, Childish, and Frank Ocean, among many others - most prominently with 808s, and it had a significant impact on hip-hop music Even after a negative reception from fans, it became a staple in hip-hop, even with new wave sounds, and many sources recognize it has a significant influence on hip-hop and rap.

-He has ventured into fashion, creating a distinctive and wildly-successful brand with five seasons of Yeezy, and is about to sign exclusively with Adida.

-Radio has completely abandoned his music since 2008, but since then he has sold out millions of seats through numerous tours, most recently the Saint Pablo tour, even after Pablo was available for streaming only.

-He has helped numerous charities, primarily around those dealing with Hurricane Katrina, and has a foundation in name of his late mother.

-Even beside his controversy throughout the years, Kanye has served us great music since 2004, with no real bad album -- in fact every album of his has a score of 75 or higher.

-Not to mention his numerous awards including 21 Grammys and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and his marriage to Kim Kardashian West.

Absolutely. Arguably the most influential artist of the last 15 years or so.

No one knows him here. Maybe in the USA

No.

Never in my country. Thank God

He isn't anywhere near close to being one, and nobody outside of the US gives a single **** about him. Nobody has been influenced by him either, other than irrelevant underground, local US rappers.

No.

Of course he is.

I guess, but I don't like him.

Lmao ok keep thinking that. Nobody has been influenced by him? Drake, Chance The Rapper, Kendrick lamar, Nicki Minaj, Adele, Lorde, Arctic Monkeys, James Blake etc have cited as an influence. y'all are embarassing
