I'm a big fan of Kanye's post MBDTF stuff (though he will never get a dime from me, bootleg only).

TLOP is a 9/10 to me even though its a fukking mess. Classic songs all over that album.

Yeezus is a 8.5/10 to me. A few misses and some shyt lyrics, but still a daring and challenging album with big high points

So with that being said to put my opinion in context, I find YE to be......solid, I guess. Definitely not great. And I completely understand anyone who call it trash even though I don't agree.

I'm glad he stayed experimental instead of going backwards like many people want. But in this case the final product falls a bit flat in spots

fukk what anyone says, that first track is FIRE:wow:

After that, its up and down. If an album is sub 25 minutes it has to be brilliant from start to finish.

I am not even going to attempt to rate it yet because of the type of album it is. Songs like this need to marinate to either see if the "earworm" catches you or if it turns into a weedplate

This could be anywhere from a 6 to an 8 for me when its all said and done.

EDIT: 2nd listen and the earworms are already starting to dig... :wow:....thought All Mine was weak on first listen but like it a lot on 2nd listen...this is definitely going to be an 8/10 I think:ld:
this review is on point like baron davis. TLOP was a great album

"Highlights" from TLOP alone ethers any song on this album. Kanye wasted his time. This is an ok record if it was written and recorded in 9 hours. Not with this anticipation.

My exact review. The beats ars actually incredible but the rhyming on this is really bad.

The bars this nikka rapping:mjlol:
He can still produce but the fall off:mjcry::wow:

The nikka needs an intervention. The talent is there but his mind isn't right.

He needs to stick to only producing but his ego and stans won't allow it.

Holy fukk this was bad :snoop:

Especially after Pusha album wtf I was hyped and now I'm nervous about that Nas joint :sadcam:

Wtf was Kanye thinking following Daytona like that if the rest of these mini albums gonna sound this trash he should have closed with Pusha album to save his image not to mention when you wear that MAGA hat YOU BETTER COME HARD!!! Holy fukk ye:beli:

huge Kanye fan but this album is absolute trash. only Yikes is good. the beats are such a let down

Kanye's beats on Daytona were fukking dope and innovative but Ye is a mental health gospel record :hhh:

this shyt is trash, I actually loved Yeezus and thought Pablo was a solid but not great album but this is garbage

Played through this atleast 4 times, I'm not really anything outside of the first 2 tracks. I'd enjoy Ghost Town if it weren't for Cudis horrible singing and I usually don't mind his presence on a track.

TLOP is no longer his worst album, its this
