Cyhi The Prince wrote Kanye's bars on MBDTF..

Why does every one keep citing MBDTF verses to prove Ye's lyrical ability

The best raps he wrote himself are from the Dropout trilogy
For everyone accusing me of making this up:

- I am not above admitting when I do not have definitive proof to support a claim. I concede that the above assertion has not been directly admitted by Ye's camp

- That said, my claim is derived from a combination of context( P1)👇🏾
☝🏾In '18, Ye not only admitted that Pardison Fontaine wrote almost all of Violent Crimes, but confirmed a long standing "open secret" that Cyhi, Consequence & Pardison had been his Ghost writers for a long time

My detractors are citing Cyhi's Vlad interview where he (Part 2)👇🏾
states that Ye "gives credit for everything", but some are missing the point that "giving credit" does not mean the same thing to ghostwriters as it does to fans

Ghost writers get *legal credit & a pay check, behind closed doors

The are not credited on liner notes so(part 3)👇🏾
Cyhi stated himself that he wrote on 80% of Watch The Throne, yet you won't find his name listed in the liner notes or "credits" of the album.

Ye did not use to admit which mc's wrote for him, so we don't find out until the ghosts themselves speak up

Cyhi also says (part 4) 👇🏾
Cyhi also says that he did not take credit earlier on for his work.

You can accept his modest admission that he "didn't think he deserved to get paid", but the admission is still there that he worked on Ye's albums without getting credit at all
👇🏾
☝🏾 The fact that he states he's worked with Ye before he started to get credit/paid on WTT, is evidence that he was present on earlier albums, the obvious direct album before that being MBDTF.

Cyhi was not "officially" part of Ye's writing team yet

Lastly (Part 5) 👇🏾
If you are familiar with Cyhi's lyrical/delivery style it's painfully obvious how Ye switched from pre-2010 to the far more multi-syllable dense, hard edged delivery that mirrors Cyhi's early tapes, for MBDTF & WTT

If all a fan knows about Cyhi is "So Appalled", u won't notice
Also Cyhi states he worked with Ye for 8 months, including at least 2-4 months pre-MBDTF dropping & Ye constantly replaced elements of each song, so I can't agree with people claiming the album was for sure "already done/almost done" by the time they met https://twitter.com/hopheroes/status/1339269593555116033
