Late Registration is by FAR his best work to me. I used to hold College Dropout in similar regard, but I revisited it recently and it didn't age well at all. The skits were annoying and that song with Luda was garbage.
Kanye will never top Late Registration, no matter how hard the stanleys on here push the agenda of "Ye is evolving, this could be his best work". The honesty, content, and production on Late Registration will never be topped.
Dude fell off. Can't even remember the last amazing beat he produced by himself. MBDTF, WTT, and Cruel Summer were all average at best to me, so I personally can't see him getting back to that level.
I know i'm late with this but youse a fakkit ass nikka
First off Kanye West is the greatest rapper of all time, period. Album for album, song for song, there's no one alive or that has ever lived that has put out the consistent flames this man has. His vision is immaculate, all of his albums are completely different than the last, he's innovative, he can be completely different from the mainstream while conforming to it at the same time.
And fukk outta here with College Dropout not holding up, even today its a masterpiece of rap music, every beat is incredibly dope, every song shows a different side of ye and his mindstate at the time. And fell off after late reg? nikka please Graduation was incredible, 808's was incredible, MBDTF was fukking cinematic and Yeezus is album of the year so far. you have woat taste nikka.
And btw, when I say greatest rapper of all time, I dont mean the most skilled, the two are completely different.
