You got it over Graduation and Dark Fantasy?

I don't hate TLOP. I think the problem is I heard the first version before they re-did it, and it just struck me as almost sounding like it wasn't finished and it seemed like it had no direction. I liked it way better than Yeezus though.

I mean most people have Dark Fantasy as his best or his 2nd best album. I definitely can't think of hardly anyone that would put it outside of the top 3 besides that Fantano guy. I do think it has a couple misses on the tail end, but the best parts of that album are basically perfect.

Regarding Graduation, it seems to be a real love it/hate it album. I see a lot of Kanye fans place at at #1 and many that place it at the bottom.

I always liked it a lot because it was a great blend of his old style, plus some Dilla style sampling, plus him venturing into newer sounds and non-sampled beats, and finally some stadium style music. I liked that there was only 1 or 2 features, no skits, and it felt lean with only about a dozen tracks. Also, I liked the production on there from Nottz and Toomp. It was the last time we heard Kanye before his mom passed, and Graduation IMO is the last time we heard a somewhat sane Kanye. I think some of his best songs ever are on there (Flashing Lights, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Good Morning, Everything I Am) and some of his most underrated songs (I Wonder, Champion, Glory). Obviously major hits like Stronger and Good Life, even if they sound a little dated, were undeniable at the time. Drunk and Hot Girls was the only genuine dud on that album IMO.

MDBF was just the height of normal Kanye obnoxious ness. I hated all the multi posses tracks on there. Plus the last half of that album is wack. Graduation was too extravagant and pop for my taste. Had some forgettable songs to like the shyt with Wayne, the Coldplay cac, big brother. TLOP was low key good and if ye continues to release trash it will be remembered roundly. When i first heard FSMH real tears rolled

Y’all nikkas be all over the place with these opinions. What happened to nikkas callin him c00nye and KKKanye?

how is it all over the place when theres 70 people in here collectively voting it with a 1 star rating :wthwtf:

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Listened twice and this just ain't it. 7 songs and it feels like the majority of it is him talking or someone singing.

 

[50CentStan]

75% of the Coli is Cac's & c00ns

I’ve listened about 4 times and I gave it a 8/10. My least fav was All Mine (which a lot of people seemed not to like), but it’s not really bad. It just does the least rapping wise. Sonically he does his thing across the board. Also bares a lot without too much exposition necessary. I’m 1000% sure if he had this energy and put into a full length, it’d be his second 808s. People would digest it and come back later and really enjoy the level of emotion.

Kids See Ghost is gonna be some wild shyt

I would say 070 Shake deserves a super star push but I said the same shyt about kacy hill and they couldn’t even put her on the official feature for 90210

 

[afterlife2009]

I like Yikes, I Thought About Killing You and No Mistakes. All Mine is alright but the second half rapping is cringy even for kanye standards. so half the album is cool to me

After a 2nd and 3rd listen

This album is enjoyable and actually decent.

Was hoping it to be good as Daytona. But it's still cool. Not out of your seat amazing not even in a single aspect whether production or rapping.

But a neat entertaining LP

Seeing folks on other sites gush over the album like it's fukking "Dark Side of the Moon" vs The Coli wiping their asses with it makes me appreciate this site even more. Guess I'm going in and be back with thoughts
