1. Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)
“After three albums of radio-embraced, critically acclaimed rap, one deeply introspective detour and a VMAs mic grab seen 'round the Internet, no one knew what to expect when Kanye West dropped his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, in late 2010. As it turns out, the mercurial West had matured (in sound, at least) from innovative hitmaker to expansive, Kubrickian sonic auteur. From the self-loathing minimalist odyssey of "Runaway" to the martial call-to-arms of "All of the Lights" (stuffed with guest stars ranging from Rihanna to Elton John) to the intoxicating, stomping menace of "Monster" (complete with a ferocious star-making verse from Nicki Minaj) to the breath-stopping bleakness of "Lost In the World," MBDTF is the sound of an artist -- using the studio as a palette -- grappling with his contradictions, unhappiness and the carnal diversions he turns to as an all-too-brief balm for the uncertain soul.
And while 'Ye's MAGA love might make some erstwhile Yeezus freaks loath to preach its dark gospel moving forward, the truth is, MBDTF's spiraling hopelessness feels more relatable now than when it dropped in the bright-eyed Obama era. These days, Kanye is both the prophet and the victim of that oppressive worldview, with this album serving as his Book of Revelation. As we enter the 2020s, it's hard to say where Kanye is headed, but one thing is for sure: At the outset of this decade, he set the bar by which all 2010s albums – rap, pop, alternative, you name it – would be measured." -- J. Lynch

Thank U Next should be nowhere near top ten. If they had to put an Ariana album, should have been Sweetener with that Pharrell production
they made it about Trump and Obama era comparisons
