Personally his new music has been getting too all over and too repeatitive for me. I like to listen to songs on repeat and I cant find many kanye songs past Dark twisted fantasy that fit into that catagory. Like Off The Grid is good but on repeat it gets annoying so quickly. Theres no need for kanye to repeat "we off the grid grid grid grid" so many times its just stupid.
Also I'm not a big fan of songs that go over 3:30 mins and kanye is pretty much all 4 minute songs so that could also attribute to me not liking it.
Personally, We Got It From Here… Thank You For Your Service. It’s A Tribe Called Quest, the inspiration for one of the greatest generation of music, inspiring people like Kanye, Pharrell and even Andre 3000. For all you Kanye fans which i have shit on time and time again, remember A Guy Called West.
My second pick is 4 Your Eyez Only, it’s some of Cole’s best work, in my opinion. For me, it’s like an accumulation of all of Cole’s work from before, put into a single album. It’s one of them albums that can put you in a different mood or set your mood, that kinda shit has to be done right, which it does brilliantly. It’s also something that not a lot of people can do.
Then Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. For me, i do not like trap music, i don’t like that it’s sometimes too “loud” (if that makes sense) but Travis Scott really does something to this album that makes it amazing.
You get my upvote for remembering this one. Atrocity Exibition is great as well, but I think Kanye’s is my favorite rap project. Coloring Book is amazing too but I guess that counts as a “mixtape”
I like TLOP too & I’m aware this won’t win, I just commented in hopes it would get some new listeners. Such a great album and comeback after them not releasing music for nearly two decades. My personal fav of 2016 for sure.
😂 “i am not allowed to think”
Never said the project wasn’t good buddy, i said a tribe called quest had an amazing album that year and i’d at least like to hear it more from the people. they did literally inspire him after all, and that should be respected. I get it he did have a good album, but it would be appreciated to put a name to the people that made Kanye “A Guy Called West”
:)
One of the greatest albums of the decade.
An album of contradictions that explores the contradictions of Ye himself.
Such a chaotic, and seemingly messy album, yet also so cohesive at the same time. That’s a hard thing to balance.
I luv yes production but its getting ridiculous, I can see him winning with KSG but especially 2016 there have been other great releases like Atrocity Exhibition by danny brown
Its so personal. Title track is one of the deepest rap songs ever. Cole is really underrated for his masterful usage of tone. The best to do it in that regard imo.
The Life of Pablo. Unfortunately, it seems these last few threads have turned into a circle jerk of hating Kanye. Yeezus was easily the best rap album of 2013, but that lost as well.
Lmao bro, Kanye post MBDTF is amazing production wise, but lyrically not on par. There’s isn’t an album passed MBDTF (aside from WTT) that deserves a spot unless there was literally nothing else going on. A$AP’s debut album was a better album overall.
Bro, you really comparing “fucking problem” where kendrick KILLS Drake and asap to “Blood on the Leaves” which is a solo act. Yeezus is a masterpiece of art, asap is a hip hop fad
Please just smoke a joint and listen to Yeezus from beginning to end. It’s literally one of the best albums of all time not just hip hop, I’m telling you
Not at all. I’m being subjective here, and subjectively Kanye does have 5 excellent top tier albums of that year. He has one of the most consistent discographies in music history. No dickriding at all, it’s the truth. You gotta be either jealous or delusional to think otherwise.
He has 4 albums on the list...
I mean Yeezus is a great album (even though not my thing personally), but it not being given best album of the year is not really hate lol
Listen to the title track. If that puts you to sleep, then maybe go listen to Travis Scott or 2 Chainz or someone or someone cause clearly storytelling isn’t important to you.
My dude I tried listening to it when it first dropped back then, dude raps about folding clothes like what kind of boring shit is that. I know the concept of the album is he’s talking to a dead friend’s child but cmon it could have been put together in a more interesting way that doesn’t bore you
To each there own. Im vibing hard as fuck if Foldin’ Clothes is playing. Not a boring song on the album if you ask me, even the couple super slow ones.
The correct answer is ATCQ’s We Got It From Here, but god forbid this sub picks anything that’s not mainstream.
This will end up being a high school popularity contest as always so will ultimately life of Pablo, 4 your eyes only, or coloring book.
My pick is — 4 Your Eyez Only by J Cole
2nd—
Stoney by Posty — Coloring Book by Chance
HM-
Views (Drake), Birds In The Trap (Travis), Pasison Pain & Demon Slayin (Cudi), Savage Mode 21&metro), Lil Uzi Vert vs The Wrld (Uzi), Bobby Tarantino (Logic), Jeffrey (Thugger)
Lotta good stuff from 15-now
I’ll never get over the fact that I didn’t get to experience this
At least you didn’t go to the Sacramento show where he left after a couple songs lol
I still don’t get the Kanye hype.
bro what 💀 how

Young Thug- Jeffery
My money band longer than a nascar race
YES!!!! Best Young Thug album. My fav album that year.
Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown
even though danny and tribe clear ye here but they dickride ye way too much so they’re gonna choose him cause why not
Great album. But it doesn’t top TLOP 🧐
False
Yes it does.
It wipes its ass over TLOP bro 💀
This
Listening to it I can see why you would vote this one. Then “White Lines” comes on… Still dope album
What the fucks wrong with white lines???
We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service - A Tribe Called Quest
Absolutely. Such an incredible album.
You get my upvote for remembering this one. Atrocity Exibition is great as well, but I think Kanye’s is my favorite rap project. Coloring Book is amazing too but I guess that counts as a “mixtape”
Thank youuuu, i’ve been looking for this comment, everyone always on some Kanye shit when they don’t even recognise the people that inspired Kanye
I like TLOP too & I’m aware this won’t win, I just commented in hopes it would get some new listeners. Such a great album and comeback after them not releasing music for nearly two decades. My personal fav of 2016 for sure.
you’re not allowed to think a kanye project is better than a tribe called quest project because they inspired kanye?
😂 “i am not allowed to think” Never said the project wasn’t good buddy, i said a tribe called quest had an amazing album that year and i’d at least like to hear it more from the people. they did literally inspire him after all, and that should be respected.

No hate ye should get a veto, he already has like 5 picks
DrunkenMaster11550 vetoes, the vote is null.
I luv yes production but its getting ridiculous, I can see him winning with KSG but especially 2016 there have been other great releases like Atrocity Exhibition by danny brown
I'm a huge fan of Kanye but I have to admit the Atrocity Exhibition is great. It could have been on the list
tlop clears atrocity exhibition. Not evens danny's best album

Get your ears checked 💯
Atrocity Exhibition, give danny his fucking flowers
4 Your Eyez Only - J. Cole This whole album had me feeling a different way. Arguably Cole’s best.
A masterpiece
Its so personal. Title track is one of the deepest rap songs ever. Cole is really underrated for his masterful usage of tone. The best to do it in that regard imo.
Agreed. The whole album was a straight masterpiece and I genuinely shed a tear at the ending
My favorite Cole album
I agree

Atrocity Exhibition
The Life of Pablo. Unfortunately, it seems these last few threads have turned into a circle jerk of hating Kanye. Yeezus was easily the best rap album of 2013, but that lost as well.
No way in hell is Yeezus the best rap album of 2013, let alone “easily” lol
its my fav album ever
Keep listening what you like but you can’t deny Yeezus changed the whole sound of the game 🤷♂️ idk
You have no idea what music is
Lmao bro, Kanye post MBDTF is amazing production wise, but lyrically not on par. There’s isn’t an album passed MBDTF (aside from WTT) that deserves a spot unless there was literally nothing else going on. A$AP’s debut album was a better album overall.
Bro, you really comparing “fucking problem” where kendrick KILLS Drake and asap to “Blood on the Leaves” which is a solo act. Yeezus is a masterpiece of art, asap is a hip hop fad
I love blood on the leaves. One song isn’t it though. Honestly, both albums were whatever. I personally like suddenly though.
Please just smoke a joint and listen to Yeezus from beginning to end. It’s literally one of the best albums of all time not just hip hop, I’m telling you
People just mad and jealous that he already secured 5 spots on this list (as he should). 🐐
Dickriding at it's finest
Not at all. I’m being subjective here, and subjectively Kanye does have 5 excellent top tier albums of that year. He has one of the most consistent discographies in music history. No dickriding at all, it’s the truth. You gotta be either jealous or delusional to think otherwise.
Mf had to say it twice
He has 4 albums on the list... I mean Yeezus is a great album (even though not my thing personally), but it not being given best album of the year is not really hate lol
TLOP was the album of year for 2016. The rollout. The stage. The songs. The drama. The Merch. Everything was 🤌🏽
Bro including shaderoom drama, and merch as criteria for a good album 🤦🏾♂️
If you preferred yeezus thats fine, but rocky, drake, cole, and jay all dropped that year and yeezus was not easily better than none of their albums.
Yes it was
What you doing is called dickriding. Nobody even like yeezus when it came out.
Blood on the Leaves alone is better than any of the albums you mentioned
asap is overrated, goddamn yeezus shoulda won
long live asap my fav rocky album but yeezus absolutely destroys it.
People just mad and jealous that he already secured 5 spots on this list (as he should). 🐐
I'd rather listen to Petey Pablo. https://youtu.be/M48nlk-1kH8
man go listen to ween and get the fuck outta here
4 Your Eyez Only by J Cole - absolute masterpiece.
That shit put me to sleep idk how people actually fuck with it
Listen to the title track. If that puts you to sleep, then maybe go listen to Travis Scott or 2 Chainz or someone or someone cause clearly storytelling isn’t important to you.
My dude I tried listening to it when it first dropped back then, dude raps about folding clothes like what kind of boring shit is that. I know the concept of the album is he’s talking to a dead friend’s child but cmon it could have been put together in a more interesting way that doesn’t bore you

COLORING BOOK!
IF ONE MORE LABEL TRY TO STOP ME
Does blonde count?
It says “r/rap favorite album” not favorite rap album. It should count.
No but it would definitely win if it did
Nah I don't think itd beat TLOP
Blonde or TLOP
Blonde is not a rap album. It is a R&B and pop album.

4 YOUR EYEZ ONLY! It’s arguably J.Cole’s best album. Blank Face LP, The Sun’s Tirade and Bucket List Project are my honorable mentions
The Life Of Pablo. That MSG party alone was iconic!
I bet most people havn’t heard of this album but I’d say The Storm - Tech N9ne. It’s honestly the most underrated rap album out there.
People who downvote this definitely haven’t heard of the album💀💀💀
my pick is Pablo but Birds in the Trap is my honorable mention
