I'm not gonna be delusional.

TLOP feels like his last "true" album. Saint Pablo is the final song of the run that started with TCD.

All the albums since then feel like they are "posthumous" or side projects.

maybe his music was just better back then?

i do agree there is some bias involved though. they severely underrated KSG and gave donda a worse rating than ye or JIK which is just baffling to me.

agreed on Donda, it could've been a real return to form.

24, Come to Life, Lord I Need You, Hurricane, Jesus Lord, New Again is that Ye s***

Imagine caring about what any of these publications have to say

Of course his music(first 6 alums) was better back then. But KSG and Donda are both vastly superior to TLOP imo. And the reviews only mention his life outside of music now a days lol

KSG got 7.6

And he already got below a 9 on 808 AND Graduation.

You're full of cap lol

S***fordrake

"after DF"...learn how to read ffs

Kanye has always been controversial but he was an ARTIST first.

Now he's more recognized for his controversies and gimmicks than for his music.

OPs whole thing rn is just searching album review sections of Wikipedia pages

Like is this thread just about publications? Cus you’ve already seemingly said audiences taking music seriously doesn’t matter

it would honestly been one of his best albums if he cut out the filler. tell the vision really has no business being on a kanye west album lol.

but yeah you can pick out some tracks and they are good enough to rank among his best, lord i need you and come to life being the two strongest examples.

kinda dork ass post is this

Bro if KSG dropped before 2018 it would probably be the highest selling album and most critically acclaimed record of the decade lmao stop it please.

You said KSG got a 6...which it didnt.

Also you're acting like P4K are the only reviewers. KSG got critical acclaim so your argument that there's a conspiracy against YE because of MAGA is bogus.

His music is just whack now.

Bruh, half of the critic reviews of Donda focused on Marilyn Manson

ye-JIK-DONDA is def his weakest 3 solo album run ever.. easily

Also DONDA is better than ye and JIK but weaker than every album that came before ye

WTT was the end of perfectionist Ye imo. Yeezus is one of my favorite albums but you start to see that music wasn’t the only thing he was hungry for. Since then it’s kind of played as a part to get people interested in what he’s doing.

Donda era showed that he’s passionate about mainly music though but I just wish he would stop being on social media for promo.

You guys are acting like Kanye hasn't always been a controversial figure.

MBDTF was built off controversy lol.

You cannot be serious right now lol… Ye supporting Manson at the height of the allegations in the world + the MAGA stuff from before & where we’re in when it comes to journalism was all it took for them to pan it. Those people weren’t reviewing the music

Who cares.

Kanye's music in the past was so good that reviewers could look past his misdemeanours. Now the music is whack, his celeb status and controversy is more interesting than the albums.

We in a way different era than MBDTF. Virtue signaling is wayyyyyy more prevalent among these reviewers

@Extraterrestrial f*** "reviews" tell me if you think I'm wrong

I agree. But Donda is still way better than 99% of what’s dropping these days.
