the quintessential album of the 2010’s

defined personalities, attitudes, fashion, production, and aesthetics for the next 7 years

there are plenty of people who got all these things and yet again none of em are like Ye

also one of my favorite uses of subtext and satirical self commentary on an album

You said better, not what you have

Tlop has high production value, mediocre project

Nice way to twist your own goal post lol

Shut up

bad argument

S/o Kendrick Lamar

Exactly lmao

U hurt tho

talk yo s*** king

I know, I'm not that clever

means i’ve been on ktt for 8 years now

crazy

Ngl you got me tight. I wanna fight you now

Classic

LR, Yeezus & MBDTF are top 3 Kanye in that order for me

Some of the stuff on Yeezus still blows me away

Expand on this please

Yeezus sucked

want to fight you

from another thread i made in 2019

People think the album is entirely serious in its blown-out egoism but stuff like Bound 2's last lines r like tiny winks where ye's hinting that the entire album was made in complete self conciousness regarding his public perception. He's like acknowledging just how ridiculous the amount of praise he receives is while also just saying "fuck you, i'm gonna take it in anyways because i earned it.” And simultaneously, he validated the arguments that such praise is blown out and he’s just a human on songs like BOTL or HML

and then the album is just like "in fact, im gonna make something so different from what i've done before that it'll amaze you when people love it anyways"

its genius. He basically dupes anyone wh can’t understand subtext into thinking that he was totally unironically in a god complex the entire way through but this album is one of his most vulnerable

its rly the last album he made wit a super thought out and actually complete commentary under all of the music.

no avi having ass nigga talking!

He's stiol my fav tho & i still have high respect of him as an artist, n Fade + ULB some of my fav Kanye tracks n i love KSG, so there is still some crossover
