No i mean its a victory lap for me.

Meaning he already finished the race & anything after is just extra. Just a metaphor for how i personally feel about his output & focus after yeezus, & the length of his career.

Ye & JIK are bad projects to me while TLOP personally is ok/mediocre (no disrespect to anyone who does genuinely like them overall), but for me he's already had such a lengthy career & produced my fav album of all time, Late Registration.

So even tho i personally havent liked much since after yeezus aside from KSG & a few songs from the other 3, im not mad at it. He's already done enough for -me-. Its all just "extra" now, & if he's still able to surprise me once in a while like KSG (which is currently my 4th fav Kanye album), then thats a huge bonus for myself.

Regardless tho, every modern project has still had at least 2 or bit more songs i really enjoy, even if i dont enjoy it a lot as whole.

The kanye that i personally liked & was really into has finished the race.

MBDTF encapsulated the past & present to create the future , it cannot age. It was the amalgam of all music itself.

MBDTF seemed to have aged poorly because it’s otherworldly quality killed the future of traditional music and caused a drastic shift . Kanye knew this himself that’s why he switched gears so hard with Yeezus

How old are you out of curiosity @op ?

Oh no the song didn't end after 5 minutes Anthony Fantano was right all along

Had way too high hopes for it when it was dropping , Good Fridays ruined that

I hope you’re not gonna use my age as justification for calling my taste in music s***ty, that would be a really basic take. But I’m 24 haha, became a fan around Yeezus era.

Interesting 🤔

This was just a thought I had today and I’m trying it out to see if it fits. For the longest time I just had MBDTF at #2 in my ranking defacto. But I never hungered to return to it as much as say, Pablo.

out after the first sentence l

Ktt isn’t ready to have this conversation.

i'm ready

great album but overhyped af. gimme LR, TLOP, 808s, and Yeezus before this

Hot take

2 - Yeezus
3 - 808s
4 - CD
5 - TLOP
6 - Grad
7 - MBDTF
8 - LR
9 - ye

this is the weirdest f***ing ranking

That just shows how great his albums are. There is no definitive ranking. Everyone has a different favorite/list.

Ban OP

How can JIK be #1 when it ships worst..... by a long shot

The content and amazing songs make it my personal #1. The album really spoke to me on a personal level.

MY list isn’t going to be the same as yours, and that’s ok.

Music is subjective. We don’t all take it in the same way.

Just shut the f*** up sometimes

1 - LR
2 - Yeezus
3 - MBDTF
4 - (KSG)
5 - 808s
6 - CD
7 - GRAD
8 - (WTT)
9 - TLOP
10 - (CS)
11 - JIK
12 - Ye

Imo

Yeezus appreciation

JIK being first and ye last is crazy, cause to me they compliment each other so well
