Harambe by young thug

to the detriment of song quality

bad trade off imo

Any album with a different sound than the artists previous work should be seen as them experimenting with a new sound.

MBDTF is heralded as one of the greatest albums ever. Try again hun

i think thats too vague and you could reduce any album to experimental. i mean justin bieber switched it up on his 2nd album but i wouldnt personally call that experimenting

Mbdtf aint really experimental, aside from drowning monster in distortion

Bruh included elements of classic, art rock, soul, traditional hip hop, all into one album and mastered the art of maximalist production. Stop it

probably his most generic and radio friendly album

Nothing radio friendly about that album hun.

so he mixed a bunch of conventions from different styles and thats experimental?

tahts the same argument someone made ab drake

808s and Yeezus are yes experiments

MBDTF was just classic Ye

I’d say it is when no other rapper has really made an album like that. We can also go deeper and talk about how Kanye has experimented with stage design and visuals like no rapper before him has.

MBDTF was prog-rap tbh

if anything he's getting much too much credit

As far as the rock influence goes, onyx was doing that 20 years earlier.

I disagree tho anyway. Majority of that album was pretty standard hip hop production.

Drake doesn’t have his hands in production like Kanye does, so it’s not even a fair comparison to begin with.

Post MBDTF - now is peak experimental Ye, but a lot of those albums suck really bad (JIK, Ye) or are boring (TLOP)

808s was out there but it doesn't exist with out Timbo's sound, JT's sound, Tpain's sound and Cudi's sound so how much credit can we really give to Kanye

I bet no Drake stans posting itt have heard The Love Below.

I can't think of any other song that came before Runaway where Ye or anybody else did what he's done with it.

From the way that the whole song builds on those sparse piano notes all the way to the crying vocoder solo. Not to mention that the subject matter was cutting edge too.

Why do Kanye stabs always pullup to this section? I know ye section is always dead but jeeez

Cudi is experimental drake is not

Imma keep throwing out examples as they hit me
