He straight up picked Kanye West catalog over Jay-Z's No Debate. Dash broke it down to Kanye's unmatched creativity and how it spans music, fashion, and massive crowds that fill stadiums without needing backup. He called Kanye pure artistry, like a modern van Gogh, unpredictable but always delivering something real, even with his bipolar moments keeping things fresh.
