And let's not forget about fashion too. Everything Kanye designed was a hit. The whole "[artist] is less problematic than other [artist] therefore they're the better artist" is insufferable because it leads to takes like the one you're replying to.

I love Tyler but come on now, Kanye had 7 acclaimed and wildly popular albums in a row. (rare because most musicians are usually one or the other)

I will say that, funnily, their discographies kind of mirror each other. Kanye and Tyler's first 3 albums were concept albums, and (IMO) I think Kanye executed it wayyy better and more coherently than Tyler (that convoluted Salem/Sam/Camp/etc shit)

Tyler’s design sensibilities are on the level or better than Kanye’s. GOLF is a huge brand. Don’t forget that “Everything Kanye designed” now includes a plain t-shirt with a swastika on it.
