Kanye is the one of the few artists whose every album has a ton of people thinking its his best and they'd all fight to the death for theirs opinions.
I'm not mad at anybody calling any Ye album their fav. TLOP has grown on me considerably too, too many tracks have become almost iconic.
That's one of the reasons why I think Ye is a strong contender for best hip-hop discography.
Ye will never rank high, but that's gonna largely be because of length. If you look between all of his June albums, I'm sure there'll be enough content for one single Album of the Year-but individually, they're probably all too short to reach that height.
Personally, I think it's a great album.

After reading the review, I feel like I should clarify. Maybe "thematically" wasn't the right word. There's a clear undercurrent about it being Kanye's thoughts/struggles on his mental illness and depression. And it's jumbled and varies greatly, because dealing with those issues is a confusing and often unclear process. That much I agree with. I guess I more meant...musically, if that makes any sense? While all the tracks have the same underlying connection, I meant that if you listened to them separately (and somehow didn't know they were all from the same album) you might not be able to guess that
Because Kanye thinks most albums are too long now, probably because his attention span has dropped over the years lol.
Pusha explained it on The Breakfast Club.
I genuinely don't even know what MAGA is, but then again I barely follow the news man.
Listened to Ghost Town so many times. Even if this album is weaker than I expected, this track will go down as a classic
Make America Great Again. Trump's slogan.
I don't know how you missed it being on this forum and all lol
No. 10 tracks is fine, anything less is a glorified EP (to me). I'd be fine with 7 if the songs were all 4 minutes.
There are two two minute songs on this that don't really even feel like songs. I think Ye is spreading himself too thin and instead of releasing all these EPs, he should've focused on two more traditional albums. Because at this rate it's looking like this will be quantity over quality.
Dark Twisted Fantasy is his best album but honestly I feel like Graduation is my personal favorite.
Not at all.
Theres a middle ground here. In my opinion 40-45 minutes is the sweet spot. And even that is considered short. 21 minutes isnt an album, thats an EP.
Nevermind, I knew about Make America great again, I just never used the abbreviation. That being said, I mostly visit the gaming section and very rarely other sections.
yep its gunna be a shame to finally get a nas tape and have it only be 20 minutes
It's so true that it actually hurts
Yeezus praise is partly the product of coming off the heels of dark fantasy. Switch places with TLOP timing wise and suddenly it's not the 2nd coming the internet makes it.
Don't slander Yeezus, the goat album after TPAB.
Just glad we got another 7 on the way next week.
With 10 tracks you're in and out which is great. Here, I'm still hungry.
Just glad we got another 7 on the way next week.
It's a 5 course dinner with smaller portions, and we're only 2/5ths of the way through it.
Not for me because I honestly only care about Pusha, Kanye, and Nas. Each piece should stand on its own. So far Daytona does, but not Ye. Idk, I'd be fine with it if the songs were better/felt complete.
Violent Crimes breaks my heart because it shows what this whole thing could have been with a little focus, and a topic. It's the first Kanye song that feels mature post-children, and tackles a new sound and theme. Too bad the rest of the album is scooptity woop.
Honestly think this might not get best new music from Pitchfork, I think they'll give it 7.5-8. 808s is the only Kanye album that hasn't got BNM
I mean, the album next week is surely a Ye album with just Cudi on it like Watch the Throne. Or at least that's how I see it. We just gotta be patient.
I hope so. Maybe it'll be better. But Cudi gives me pause. I straight up can't stand his "singing" voice. So I'm praying for a rap album.
This album was just... okay.
But seeing how there is a large contingent on this forum that thinks Yeezus was anything but a landfill on wax, I'm not surprised about the KTT-esque aura of this thread.

Listen man, the dude released 7 full length albums before this.
I have no problem with him trying something new/experimental with this release roll out. Releasing 5 albums in the span of five weeks with some of the biggest names in rap with your name attached to them is nothing short of a huge feat. Who else attempted something like this? No one.
That's why it's interesting.
Even TLOP had tracks/moments that stood out to me. This had nothing except the beat on the title track which really came in towards the end anyway.
The rapping is weak. Ye was never a great lyricist or had a crazy flow but he hit you with some memorable shit and had charisma on the mic. It's all gone now. I think as far as music goes I'm done with this guy. Yeezus was his last good (but very very flawed) album.

Think this is my ranking as well if you move MBDTF up to #2.
Ghost Town is beautiful.
The things Kanye did on Twitter were dumb, awful, and ignorant, but how can you say this album is trash or mediocre? This album is great and the biggest fault I can give it is that it's too short.
This is the only album in recent time that gave me old Kanye vibes from way back. Holy fuck did it touch me and my god is it just consistent for a album from Kanye. I really need to relisten to this album.
Fuck why couldn't this album be longer my god. Also this album is getting so much better reception elsewhere than here. Like I understand y'all hate Kanye but naw this album is good and is my favorite so far this year. Can't wait for Nas and Kid Cudi.
Or maybe I'm outta my mind lol.
