Would runaway still be No.1 without the Pusha feature??

That seems like an odd thought experiment b/c that isn't the song that exists.

I suppose you could argue that it doesn't "purely" highlight Ye's talent; although a counter argument would be that one of Ye's talents as a producer is putting the right artist/feature with the right song.

Just interested in what people think. Pusha T is a top 10 rapper for me personally and I think he elevates the song, brings it to another level but maybe that's just me
 
Hey guys. Was wondering if anyone might help me. I'm fairly new to Rap and Hip Hop and have very little knowledge of classic albums, crate diggers etc. Through VMP, I discovered Noname and Saba and slowly started to get into it. Then last year's Grey Area by Little Simz turned out to be my AOTY. Now with Freddie Gibbs Alfredo, I found another album I'm obsessed by. I absolutely want to dig deeper into the genre and was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendation based on these albums. Sonically I'm basically looking for grim stuff with organic production and real instrumentation, if that makes sense?

I recommend:

The Roots - Things Fall Apart

That album is organic instrumentally, very focused like Little Simz’ Grey Area, conscious, but is also nocturnal, dark and is quite grimy! It’s one of my favourite hip-hop albums of the 90’s! Can’t recommend that album enough!

Try OutKast - Aquemini. Definitely not as grim as Freddie, but has some of OutKast’s darker/moodier works. Also, this album blew mind when it came out with its more dynamic & lush production as opposed to all the loops & chopped up samples I had been listening to before then.
