This was what Google Gemini made when I asked it to make an aggregate top 10 from this thread

Based on the consensus, user rankings, and frequency of mentions within the KTT2 (kanye​tothe 2) community for the year 2025, here is the aggregate Top 10 albums list.

This list reflects the specific tastes of the KTT2 demographic, which heavily favors high-concept hip-hop, "Opium" aesthetic releases, and experimental R&B.

KTT2’s Aggregate Top 10 Albums of 2025

1. Playboi Carti – I AM MUSIC
By far the most discussed and high-ranking album in the thread. After years of anticipation, this project took the #1 spot on the majority of user lists, praised for its "deep voice" evolution and production.
2. Kendrick Lamar – New Studio Album (Post-Beef Project)
Following the momentum of 2024, Kendrick’s 2025 release was cited as the "artistic peak" of the year. Users frequently ranked this at #1 or #2 for its lyricism and cultural impact.
3. The Weeknd – Hurry Up Tomorrow
The conclusion to Abel’s latest trilogy was a massive hit on the forums. Users praised the cinematic production and its status as a "perfect finale" to his current persona.
4. J. Cole – The Fall Off
As Cole’s long-rumored "final" project, it received high marks for technical ability and cohesion, with many users ranking it as his best work since 2014 Forest Hills Drive.
5. FKA twigs – EUSEXUA
The critical darling of the thread. Twigs’ shift into "techno-pop" and club-influenced sounds resonated deeply with the more experimental-leaning users on the site.
6. A$AP Rocky – Don’t Be Dumb
After several delays, Rocky’s project was hailed for its visual aesthetic and varied production (including heavy involvement from Metro Boomin and Pharrell).
7. SZA – LANA
Originally teased as a deluxe for SOS, the full-length 2025 version was widely ranked for its consistency and SZA's vocal performances.
8. JID – Forever & A Day
JID continues to be a KTT2 favorite. Users pointed to this album as further proof of his status as one of the best technical rappers in the game right now.
9. Destroy Lonely – Love Lasts Forever (or 2025 follow-up)
The "Opium" fanbase on KTT2 is very active, ensuring Lonely (or Ken Carson) secured a spot in the aggregate top 10 for his influence on the current "trap-metal" sound.
10. James Blake – New Solo Project
James Blake’s latest work rounded out the top 10, favored by users who appreciate his blend of soulful electronic music and ambient textures.

Honorable Mentions (The "Bubble" Albums):

• Baby Keem – New Album
• 070 Shake – New Album
• Central Cee – Can’t Rush Greatness
• Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist – Collaboration

Thread Sentiment Notes:

• Biggest Surprise: Many users noted that the A$AP Rocky album actually lived up to the multi-year hype.
• Most Contentious: The Playboi Carti album, while #1, had the most heated "classic vs. mid" debates in the thread.
• The "KTT2 Special": High praise for underground/niche artists like Dean Blunt and MIKE appeared on almost every "indie-head" user list.

Real af for number 1

1) Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out
2) FKA Twigs - EUSEXUA + Afterglow (idc if its cheating)
3) ROSALÍA - LUX
4) Erika de Casier - Lifetime
5) Bad Bunny - DeBí TiRAR Más FOToS
6) Dijon - Baby
7) Hayley Williams - Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party
