I hate comparing my goats

Both are classics

Nah we got feedback and FML

U T O P I A

TLOP. I'm going to get a lot of hate, I'm a fan of astro but it's probably his most generic, hit leaning album production wise

Freestyle 4 is yeezus level

F*** no Jesus Christ

2004-2007: Too soft
2008: Ye can't carry an album's worth of singing
2010: Best album
2013: Corporate punk stuff
2016: Second best album
2018: Paint by numbers Kanye
2019: Mid
2021: Cool
2022: Worst album he's ever made

I’m taking TLOP but the disparity between the highs and lows on that album are crazy

Just say you started listening when Pablo came out

Started listening when Dropout came out

Fell out of love with Kanye when the Nazi stuff happened

Not arguing about this, it's my personal tastes and I don't need to justify them to anyone. To each their own.

Astro production is good but honestly I think a lot of the reason why it gets overpraised is because of all the beat switches. Sicko Mode is brilliantly produced but honestly a lot of beats on the album that you just take out by themselves don’t sound that much different to what you’d hear on an Atlanta trap record.

TLOP is Kanye’s third best produced record of the 2010s but it’s still genuinely elite stuff

Honestly a ban worthy post

Bro said Hold my Liquor, Guilt Trip, Bound 2, On Sight is corporate punk

Get this clown outta here

Like I said, when Kanye came out as a Nazi and we learned that his history of Nazism stretched back into the early 2000s and his anti-semitism into the mid-90s if not earlier, I truly grew off Kanye tremendously. I don't care about him anymore and I find a lot of his older material insincere and cynical knowing that he was a fascist while making it. It's still sonically pleasing but emotionally hollow for me because he's lying about his views on stuff on every album just so he could become a household name. The "real" Kanye only begins to come out in 2008 and he's lost his edge since 2018.

Bait

Guilt Trip isn't exactly a highlight of the album, Bound 2 is a damn parody song, and On Sight is 100% corporate punk lmao

Holy My Liquor is awesome but one song ain't gonna make a favorite album of mine

If you like it, you like it. I don't. I'm entitled to my opinion and there's nothing you or anyone else can say or do to change my mind.

This is such a garbage take lmao

Most rappers are anti semitic or have racist/sexist views. Are you gonna denounce all of them as well?

You also realize the nature of hip hop since the 90s has been rooted in conservative belief right? There isn’t anything more conservative than the idea of coming from nothing and accumulating your own wealth without anyone’s help. Calling Kanye’s older material insincere when he still echoes all those same sentiments to this day just means you never truly listened to that music or you placed your own agenda onto his words.

God damn I hate it here

I don’t doubt 2016 but of all time? You buggin.
