I was calling the vox thing a puff piece . You can consider yourself open to all music and the unique music guy but that doesn ' t make it necessarily true . You could even be more adventurous than your average acquaintance , but that really doesn ' t mean overall you have a global or wide spread sense of music . Kanye and his music , even his well done work , is largely vanilla and not particularly inventive relative to the really progressive stuff nowadays . He creates pop or vaguely easy to listen to versions of more adventurous music . The comparison between Yeezyus and death grips is the most obvious example of that . I don ' t find this work , or most of his music , to be especially creative for that reason . Musicians like Kendrick , El P , Danny Brown and death grips challenge the standards of rap from a sound , lyrical , and song structure stand point . Kanye takes clips of other genres of music and places his horrific flow and boring lyrics over it . It ' s not that inventive relative to others .
