listen to the college dropout and late registration and then listen to the life of pablo.....

[RTF]

Nah. I love those albums but nah. Especially not College Dropout. The production value on that is a huge step below Pablo & LR. You can also hear him punching in like crazy on that album.

The best songs on Pablo can stack pretty well with the best from those albums. Those albums are more coherent as albums for sure and have better subject matter. But Ye does some things better on Pablo than those albums. His appreciation for drums and percussion in general get better over time. His use of guest features are better over time. The album sequencing are better too.

i agree with the rest of his catalog bein' strong. definitely
i just don't like life of pablo but that 1 bad album IMO out of 7 albums

Yeezus was terrible tho

 

[Detroit Wave]

everything post-graduation is pure

I didn't care for the Yeezus or TLOP that much. I won't say they're hot garbage because they did have a few songs I f*cked with. But, I prefer Graduation Kanye. IMO that album was fresh from beginning to end. It struck a perfect balance to me and it was more streamlined. No corny interludes, or excessive bloat. Just 13 cuts of dope sh*t! Although, I'd replace drunken hot girls with bittersweet poetry.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Real Freinds and Feedback are both hard too

Only garbage track to me is highlights

I havent had a deep desire to bump this album again, but Highlights is garbage???

Considering that he recorded a good bulk of that album on a Roland VS1880.

But to be honest, his first 2 albums are interchangeable to me as his best. Sonically, Late Registration blew College Dropout out of the water, but that feeling of the first album.

CD aged like shyt. I agree with the Late Registration half the OP tho

"Like shyt" is strong but it certainly shows it's age more. LR has a more timeless sound.

Kanye made more mature music in his mid 20's then when he's pushing 40. His desperate attempts at staying at the forefront of the culture since WTT have been an embarrassment. Kanye is done, and folks who think otherwise are equally as lost and desperate to remain part of the 'in' crowd.

everything post-graduation is pure

nikka in here talking about he had 5 straight classics tho

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

CD>LR>G>808&HB>MBDTF, I mean he had to fall off eventually. That's 5 classics back to back.

just no sorry breh

 

[How Sway?]

808's >..LOP

hell imma take it 'there'
Yeezus>>>>>>>>LOP

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

30 hours is very late registartion

no parties in la and the old kanye are very college drop out

there some jems on that record but few really bad clunkers and awful lines

 

[How Sway?]

Ye is a tough position. He wants to make albums that are both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. Critics loved yeezus but it was polarizing to people who aren't hipster or music heads. And as all day flopping hard AF proves, nobody wants to see him dikk riding whatever sound is hot either. CD>LR>G>808&HB>MBDTF, I mean he had to fall off eventually. That's 5 classics back to back. I love Yeezus too but I acknowledge that it's going to be polarizing to the average listener (although I'm seeing people change their mind about it due to it spawning Travis Scott and others, the same way 808 spawned Drake, I don't think it'll have a revisionist history like 808 though). Dude also married into a family of cave demons that fukked his head up. He needs inspiration. I hope Kendrick and Chance can do it.

not just any cave demons too.

Every brotha thats fukked with them after ray j has fallen off

Only issue I had with Pablo was the lack of rhyming ability. I wanted that Watch The Throne level of lyricism that we know Ye can do. The production on Pablo was some of his best. CD & LR are classic Ye but I still think Graduation is his best overall album.
