LR is arguably the best album of all time but so is MBDTF

There is very little between these two masterpieces

LR is definitely better than MBDTF to me.

TCD has age on it so I wouldn't be mad if someone put MBDTF over it.

I even think Grad is a better produced album than MBDTF imo.

Id probably have it as:

LR > MBDTF >= TCD > Grad > everything else

Taste is subjective bud, don't downgrade other's opinions because they disagree with you

LR > CD > MBDTF

TCD isn’t even in the conversation with the other 2. Also lyrical content isn’t everything, no one listening to Kanye for raps

Speak for yourself

College Dropout has some of Kanye's most personal verses.

I'd much rather listen to TCD from a content perspective than MBDTF personally.

If you like verses then i’d recommend another artist. I feel you but I don’t listen to Kanye for content and I think it’s a pretty popular opinion that the production is what makes kanye’s discography great, not his C+ rapping

MBDTF and LR are his two greatest albums imo but I'm not mad at people putting any of his first seven albums top

why you leaving out CD thats a masterpiece too

There's a difference between being a good rapper and a good songwriter though.

50 Cent after Power of The Dollar was probably a C+ Rapper as well, but his best projects from 03-05 have better songs and more standout hits than a lot of artists who are better rappers.

Kanyes production is the foundation but Kanye also needed to be a good writer (or have a good team of writers) to truly create the classic songs and albums that he has.

Ye isn't a Jay or Nas by any means but he knows how to write songs just as good as a bulk of what they've made without being as great of a rapper imo. Even stuff like Saint Pablo or NMPILA can compete with a lot of Jay, Nas, Wayne, Em, etcs. post-prime music.

You have a point, the songwriting is important too. I think the songwriting on MBDTF is better than CD tho

Late Registration and MBDTF are about equal for me, but College Dropout has some weaker tracks that I don't want to hear that often. Still a classic, but I'd definitely put MBDTF ahead of that one.

no doubt, CD is one of the greatest albums of all time ranking his albums is a bit pointless for me cuz there's not much between those albums imo and my ranking changes all the time

Crazy that Kanye has Yeezus, MBDTF, and LR under his belt

You could make a case for any of these being his best

Ye discography is so diverse u couldn’t even argue an objective list

It’s just opinion

Chill

Well I do like TCD alot, and I do think that LR is Kanye's best album.

WRONG

LR really his best album and its not close

LR might be my favourite album of all time

If the instrumental on We Major doesn’t make you smile ear to ear, you have no soul

no it's not

Crazy how he’s the only artist you can do that with

I agree with all of this. Great ranking
