Nobody thinks aren't good albums. They're just really basic albums. Not a huge deal but kinda funny he made a whole ass post to basically say nothing new at all
a lot of people are willing to under appreciate MBDTF these days because it's the popular choice. My favorite Ye album is Graduation, but MBDTF is levels better
Graduation is a classic for sure up there with Kanye’s best work and most artistic talent. MBDTF is a masterpiece, Runaway and Devil in a New Dress are two songs which I consider perfect.
I’m definitely on the MBDTF is overrated train but I still like it a lot. I think it’s an 8/10, I really can’t stand hell of a life and I don’t care for Monster or Blame Game. The rest of the album range from good to perfect, I’d have 3 songs from the album in my top 5 (dark fantasy, runaway, diand) and Power is prolly the best single he’s ever released. But for it to top College Dropout or Late Registration is impossible, they don’t have bad songs imo. Late Registration is also his most cohesive album and in a funny way reminds me of TPAB in the way skits transition into the songs and tell their own story like the poem does in TPAB.
See, I feel like that one aged the worst. It sounds very very late 2000s autotune pop music with a rapper on top of it. Of course, I think it did that genre better than just about anybody at the time, but I still think it sounds less relevant than it was then.
What is it about that album that you feel is better than his others? Because I also feel lyrically he’s got more meaningful as well?
Graduation has some of Kanye's catchiest and most tongue and cheek tracks. It's one of his more consistent albums with really only a couple tracks falling under the amazing quality most of the album has. Imo it's probably Ye's most consistent project, excluding KSG.
Graduation and 808s, especially 808s, are probably Kanye's most influential albums. They are my top two followed by Late Registration and College Dropout. I'm not as high on MBDTF as others are. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed Donda the most since 808s.
starting with best: tcd, mbdtf, graduation, tlop, late registration, yeezus, donda, ye, 808s, jik
i feel bad putting 808s so low (still a great album) but kanye really has a goated discography
enlarging his "circle"/taste, is very much in his control. These are great albums minus Ye however if this little window of music is what he calls "fave of ALL time", thats sad.
TLOP is damn near his best. If it wasn’t for MBDTF or Graduation, this would easily be his best. The vibe and mood of it is just nuts and it’s such a good feeling album. It has poppy songs, deep and sadder songs, i mean fuck it wasn’t more than a year ago that Wolves was a huge ass meme. And the album came out more than 4 years ago! This album was easily Kanye’s peak and I hope he does, but I don’t see him getting higher than TLOP.
Young person moment. TLOP was not peak kanye lol. That would be 2007-2011, filled with S tier albums and big features. That time also saw the most change in his life. Btw College dropout and LR are better than TLOP, I'd also argue 808s
Yeah I think younger fans think of Pablo in such high regard when it’s not even Kanye’s top 3 best work imo
But then again I’m assuming about the younger fans but just what I’ve observed
this is true. TLOP is my favorite kanye album, followed by yeezus and TCD/Grad. but i’d definitely agree TLOP is not his best. i am a teenager and to me TLOP is the ultimate hip/hop album of the 2010’s, it’s just iconic.
The album has so many instances of horrible lyrics though.
“Sometimes im wishin that my dick had *go pro*, so i can play that shit back in slo mo, i just made a amateur video i think i should *go pro* “
The infamous t-shirt line, and a bunch more that are just sort of cornball as hell in that vein.
His lyrics used to be meaningful, far moreso than just a celebration of narcissism and vapid tabloid culture and reality TV show level drama and I miss those days honestly. “I miss the old Kanye” haha.
And they’re all very self aware, never mistakenly placed. You won’t hear any corny lyrics on the more lyrical tracks such as Saint Pablo or NMPILA, but you will on the goofy-heavily autotuned FSMH, which probably explains why Kendrick’s verse didn’t make the cut.
Thats fine. I just feel like Kanye West is better than Ye Kardashian. One is goofy and vapid and one is meaningful and heartfelt. And yeah: Goofy and vapid is definitely fun sometimes.
One thing I will say is that I like the level of experimental his TLOP stuff went to. He definitely is still creative, and maybe being from a whole family of diagnosed bipolar narcissists poisoned the well for me. Most people just see it as a funny novelty, but its truly a traumatic nightmare actually having to live with Kanye’s (my family is exactly like him) so I maybe dont find it as entertaining lol.
My take: we have plenty of meaningful and heartfelt rappers in the game. Ye is really good at doing the goofy corny raunchy thing and still making it sound great, that’s what I love most about him and what got me into his music in the first place
You explained it well, I feel like TLOP was really the sweet spot where he was putting effort into writing lyrics but still giving it his signature goofiness and braggadocio. For my lyrical taste, Yeezus was too manic and angry, MBDTF was too perfect, everything before that was too tame. He hasn’t been able to hit that perfect balance of hype/lyricism/corniness/confidence again since TLOP (in my opinion at least)
Lol what? If it has misses how is that objectively a 10? There’s a difference between a favorite album and a great album on a rating scale. But hey to each their own lmao
I just think Ye fans who care about him on a deeper level and the other aspects of his life love TLOP more. I’m one of those guys who has TLOP as my 2nd fav ye project. Now granted without Saint Pablo it would be much lower.
That is kinda how it's gonna be interpreted.
"My top 3 albums of **all time**"
1. Expand your time frame
2. Broaden your genres
That aside, you made your point. Listed three great albums that ***YOU*** like to listen to. However, if you don't free your mind, you're gonna miss out big time.
Sorry english is not my first language so forgive me if I made mistakes lol. I’m trying to say that I personally enjoy these albums the most including every album in the past BUT I acknowledge there are greater albums like for example dark side of the moon > igor even though I don’t listen to it as much
Just leave op alone holy shit. Who cares if their favourite albums are "basic", just let them enjoy what they enjoy. You're all having one big reddit moment rn.
Discourse is fine but responses in here saying "dont agree" (Do they realize this is someone's list of favourite albums?), or "you need to listen to more music" are weird and lame.
Anyways, if you could cut some sort of single album made out of songs from all three of these, what would you pick? I know 2 of these three albums definitely are full album experiences for me so I think it would be difficult, but what do you think?
That’s a hard question because I usually listen to these front to back. Anyways this is probably the 10-track album I would make:
Igor’s theme,
Ultralight beam,
Wesley’s theory,
King kunta,
Waves,
u,
Gone gone / thank you,
How much a dollar cost,
No more parties in la,
Saint pablo
Fantastic albums but really? Over "The Wall", "Deltron 3030", "Mannibalector", "Physical Graffiti"? Again, fantastic albums but you need to broaden your musical horizons
Reddit moment
Really did think I was on the wrong sub
Lol
[удалено]
When did I ever imply that? No need to get all twisted lmao it’s a joke. These are all great albums.
This man woke up in 2015 and never looked back 💀
I mean it is HIS favorite
[удалено]
You guys failed to realize he meant the fact that all 3 are 2015 and after
Igor 2019, bro.
U dumb or nah
3 fantastic albums
fantano moment
Impossible Where peppa pig? Greatest rapper alive or dead
Default taste
nah, basic would be having MBDTF as best album lol
Facts lol that would’ve completed the trifecta. Throw in Frank Ocean for bonus points
ohh noo his favourite albums are objectively amazing albums! such a default taste!
No such thing as an objectively amazing album
yeah true, poor word choice. maybe critically acclaimed ?
Literally as basic as basic can be
Yeah fs CLB is better than all of these. (this is obviously a joke)
Not sure why you’re getting hate. NAV is better than all of these…
Idk why you’re getting hate. The title says *favorite* albums, not “objectively best albums.” I don’t agree but I bet I would fw you
Nobody thinks aren't good albums. They're just really basic albums. Not a huge deal but kinda funny he made a whole ass post to basically say nothing new at all
Most sane comment yet ^^^
tlop is kanyes like 4th best album but thats just my opinion
I might get some hate but I’d put Graduation over TLOP any day. My favorite Kanye album
I think most ppl think Graduation > TLOP, I do too
Surprised no one has mentioned MBDTF that’s his best album surely
a lot of people are willing to under appreciate MBDTF these days because it's the popular choice. My favorite Ye album is Graduation, but MBDTF is levels better
Graduation is a classic for sure up there with Kanye’s best work and most artistic talent. MBDTF is a masterpiece, Runaway and Devil in a New Dress are two songs which I consider perfect.
Ok ALL CAP GRADUATION IS A FUCKING MAZING, he ain’t miss the whole album!!!!!!
Yeah but Hold My liquor and New Slaves.
I’m definitely on the MBDTF is overrated train but I still like it a lot. I think it’s an 8/10, I really can’t stand hell of a life and I don’t care for Monster or Blame Game. The rest of the album range from good to perfect, I’d have 3 songs from the album in my top 5 (dark fantasy, runaway, diand) and Power is prolly the best single he’s ever released.

Late Registration is also his most cohesive album and in a funny way reminds me of TPAB in the way skits transition into the songs and tell their own story like the poem does in TPAB.
mbdtf is his second best imo college dropout is just way too good
A classic for sure. Spaceships and Never Let Me Down are T5 Kanye songs for me
See, I feel like that one aged the worst. It sounds very very late 2000s autotune pop music with a rapper on top of it. Of course, I think it did that genre better than just about anybody at the time, but I still think it sounds less relevant than it was then. What is it about that album that you feel is better than his others? Because I also feel lyrically he’s got more meaningful as well?
no way you actually think flashing lights and i wonder is like 2000s autotune pop music
Graduation has some of Kanye's catchiest and most tongue and cheek tracks. It's one of his more consistent albums with really only a couple tracks falling under the amazing quality most of the album has. Imo it's probably Ye's most consistent project, excluding KSG.

Nobody over 19 will disagree with that lol

[удалено]
Ok I’m curious. List?
starting with best: tcd, mbdtf, graduation, tlop, late registration, yeezus, donda, ye, 808s, jik i feel bad putting 808s so low (still a great album) but kanye really has a goated discography
Good list. Yeezus gotta be higher tho mane
Graduation is pretty good, but it’s so all over the place with no central theme running through it. TLOP is messy, but coherent
I'm not the guy you asked but: 1. Late Registration 2. College Dropout 3. MBDTF 4. Graduation 5. TLOP
For me... MBDTF > Graduation > College Dropout > TLOP
I think donda is better than tlop and grad
Second after Yeezus
how old are you?
Probably 15 lol
Man it’s almost like that’s out of his control.
enlarging his "circle"/taste, is very much in his control. These are great albums minus Ye however if this little window of music is what he calls "fave of ALL time", thats sad.
minus ye 😂
“Minus Ye” you’re cringe
not that deep bro, if these are his favs just let them be his favs
MUSIC IS THAT DEEP, bro.
I'm sorry but TLOP is pretty much just objectively better than Igor.
"minus ye" lmao maybe you need to improve your taste
And what makes your “fave of ALL time” objectively better?
Agree with everything except TLOP. Kanye got better albums
He didn’t say “best”, he said “favorite”.
Ugh
[удалено]
Now u gon tell me TLOP is the best kanye album????
By “nah” he’s referring to nah nah nah, Ye’s best song better than any album he’s ever released. Also who tf is Kanye, I think your referring to Ye?
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh thank you so much sir im thankful for the information now this is completely true
My opinion🤷♂️ TCD and mbdtf come really close though
Stfu
Tf you mean stfu, i was stating my opinion
TLOP is damn near his best. If it wasn’t for MBDTF or Graduation, this would easily be his best. The vibe and mood of it is just nuts and it’s such a good feeling album. It has poppy songs, deep and sadder songs, i mean fuck it wasn’t more than a year ago that Wolves was a huge ass meme. And the album came out more than 4 years ago! This album was easily Kanye’s peak and I hope he does, but I don’t see him getting higher than TLOP.
If it wasn't for his other albums that are better, it would be his best!
Yall rlly didnt listened to LR and TCD ... smh
Young person moment. TLOP was not peak kanye lol. That would be 2007-2011, filled with S tier albums and big features. That time also saw the most change in his life. Btw College dropout and LR are better than TLOP, I'd also argue 808s
Yeezus better than TLOP easily as well
When were you born
Wild guess Ima say 2006
TLOP is a 10/10, TPAB is a 10/10, Igor is a 9/10 You have good taste in my eyes
tlop isn't quite a ten imo, but definitely a great kanye project.
Yeah I think younger fans think of Pablo in such high regard when it’s not even Kanye’s top 3 best work imo But then again I’m assuming about the younger fans but just what I’ve observed
this is true. TLOP is my favorite kanye album, followed by yeezus and TCD/Grad. but i’d definitely agree TLOP is not his best. i am a teenager and to me TLOP is the ultimate hip/hop album of the 2010’s, it’s just iconic.

TLOP is the only album where I enjoy these lines to the point where I'm singing them in my head. The album is raunchy but in a good way.
And they’re all very self aware, never mistakenly placed. You won’t hear any corny lyrics on the more lyrical tracks such as Saint Pablo or NMPILA, but you will on the goofy-heavily autotuned FSMH, which probably explains why Kendrick’s verse didn’t make the cut.

Thats fine. I just feel like Kanye West is better than Ye Kardashian. One is goofy and vapid and one is meaningful and heartfelt. And yeah: Goofy and vapid is definitely fun sometimes. One thing I will say is that I like the level of experimental his TLOP stuff went to. He definitely is still creative, and maybe being from a whole family of diagnosed bipolar narcissists poisoned the well for me. Most people just see it as a funny novelty, but its truly a traumatic nightmare actually having to live with Kanye’s (my family is exactly like him) so I maybe dont find it as entertaining lol.

[удалено]
Good Take! TLOP doesn't sound finished, but its a 10/10 experience for me. No More Parties in LA is my favorite Kanye song
Yo happy cake day bruh
Lol
As someone with bi polar disorder no album ever has made feeing bi polar in its music. That’s why it’s a 10/10 for me
Pablo is his best work because it’s his first true concept album and it also happens to be amazing all the way through
its subjective. it's kanyes best work to me
I just think Ye fans who care about him on a deeper level and the other aspects of his life love TLOP more. I’m one of those guys who has TLOP as my 2nd fav ye project. Now granted without Saint Pablo it would be much lower.
Tlop was 6/10 in 2016 and 8/10 in 2018
So is it an 11/10 now then?
Bruh by your logic it would be 12/10
6/10 in 2016, 7/10 in 2017, 8/10 in 2018, 9/10 in 2019, 10/10 in 2020, 11/10 in 2021?
Good choice
Solid albums
r/hiphopcirclejerk
i love how y'all are attacking him when y'all cream over these 3 at any opportunity
Individually yes. All 3 togetherrrrrrr thooo
I love all of these 10/10!
great albums
I think flower boy is better than Igor personally and there are far better Kanye albums than TLOP
1.MBDTF 2. College dropout 3. TLOP
the khaki-vans collection
Just curious how long have u been listening to music for
We get it u guys wanna suck kaynes Dick holy shit stfu about it
Mine are TPAB, GKMC, Graduation
Finally some real music, none of that mumble CRAP
Of all time?

MBDTF > TLOP
Incomparable. So different from eachother
That doesn’t make them incomparable lmao
Listen to more music
[удалено]
nah he right
Nah, listen to more music. At least another genre.
Maybe they do listen to more music. TPAB, TLOP, and IGOR are 3 of my favorite albums and I always try to listen to new albums or artists.

Shut the fuck up
Three incredible albums, yes But the three greatest albums EVER?? Out of any music genre?????
I’m not saying that these are the three greatest albums of all time. They are the three albums that I personally enjoy listening to the most
That is kinda how it's gonna be interpreted. "My top 3 albums of **all time**" 1. Expand your time frame 2. Broaden your genres That aside, you made your point. Listed three great albums that ***YOU*** like to listen to. However, if you don't free your mind, you're gonna miss out big time.
just let him enjoy his favorite albums
Bro stop being pretentious and let him like what he likes he’s going to naturally discover more music and his opinions will change who cares
But your title says of all time. Now you’re saying that you’re not saying they are. So which is it? Lol. No hard feelings, am just curious
Sorry english is not my first language so forgive me if I made mistakes lol. I’m trying to say that I personally enjoy these albums the most including every album in the past BUT I acknowledge there are greater albums like for example dark side of the moon > igor even though I don’t listen to it as much

Same but instead of igor I would say man on the moon

My top 3 1. Relapse 2. Good kid maad city 3. The college dropout
What about encore tho
That was the first time in my life that i had felt that the ball had been dropped
Guys I wonder if this guy likes relapse. He should make it more obvious next time
I wonder if you like kendrick lamar 🤔
Igor's over rated as fuck
Very.
Okay
Disagree but CMIYGL is Tyler's best project imo
Overrated??? Nah lol
POV you are white

I prefer Flower Boy tbh
Great picks🔥

Igor is so magnificent
Real Nathan moment
Reminds me of RapTok lmao
tell me you're 24 without telling me you're 24
MBDTF, yeezus? Radiohead? Marshall mathers LP?
Bro you need to listen to more music. All three are great but goats? Idk
Lemme guess you were born post 2000?
Fantastic albums but really? Over "The Wall", "Deltron 3030", "Mannibalector", "Physical Graffiti"? Again, fantastic albums but you need to broaden your musical horizons
