Its not a bad album, its just weak by Ye's standards. Its too poppy for my tastes. Certainly has some bangerz tho.

Crazy method man vibes on torture
Here's the thing I really dislike about Graduation. The song "Barry Bonds" is a really good song, but Lil Wayne has to come in there and ruin it.
I will admit that Flashing Lights is one of my favorite Kanye songs ever and I had the biggest smile when I saw this live video

This is what I don't get. Is he saying that Illmatic is better than Nastradamus and Nastradamus only?
Whatever at that MotM shade though.

Flashing Light is only good because it led to this existing

This song proves how good Max is.

This is the coolest shit ever, and reading it raised my respect level for Danny Brown tenfold.

Man, this question is like the worst shit ever LOL
Nas, probably. Sure, he's had his Ls, but Nas was really my "first" rapper and the stan in me still says that he's on a lyrical level that is unfuckwitable.
Just typing that was hard, sorry Ghost.

Every time I try get through Old something gets in the way. Got close to the end of Side A, this is practically my AOTY
Fancy as hell. Danny has led a really interesting life and I'm glad to see him blowing up more and more lately. This line about the head scandal killed me

Yeah Graduation isn't bad, it's still a great album just chock full of jams, it's just relatively bad compared to the rest of Ye's catalog, mostly because it has the worst song of Ye's career. Hence the Ye cycle; all the albums are dope, just which is the most dope?

OLD, ESGN, Still Motion, The Patriarch, The Night's Gambit, and HARK, all > Yeezus. Possibly Run The Jewels as well.
Yeezus is still top 10 though. For now.

Does GAF-Hop do wrap ups on albums? Maybe in 3 month intervals? That would be a cool thing to have.
I wonder if anyone's doing one for the last 3 months.

HRD does. Should be in the OP.

Still waiting on an album that I can leave running this year. Thought ESGN might be that aside from the weak opening but now I find myself replaying the same 5 tracks over and over. Same for a lot of albums that I really enjoyed this year
Hopefully OLD has that kind of cohesiveness and longevity with me

Run The Jewels just got stale so fast. I had it high in my AotY list and the shit just had no staying power. Should've expected it though, from here forward I will make sure never to buy into the hype for either of those dudes because the products/songs come up short or feeling lackluster relative to their abilities on the mic (talking mostly El-P here, Killer Mike pretty much only has mic presence).
The Recipe and Swimming Pools
His feature wasn't all that great on Old
Yo this is really cool.
Old is so freaking good. I probably had the highest hopes of anyone, and he surpassed them.
S'okay. Definitely not as bad as everything we've heard from Soulo recently.
I feel like Ab-Soul has the largest mountain to climb to get his hype back. Almost feels like from here on out he's gonna be one of those artists that recycles the same content over and over.
May I ask why?

Ab-Soul's problem is that he doesn't really have much to talk about.
His swag/stuntin rap isn't that good at all. He prefers to talk about 3rd eye topics that doesn't transition well on trap sounding beats.
Personally I think he does his own music the best, or when he's on another TDE members track. His features are usually lackluster.
Except Unnecessary. He kilt that shit.

Mike was great on most of the tracks and had it been just him I'd put it up there with RAP Music. It felt like El-P made beats for Mike then jumped on them coming across as stilted and a bit awkward. I mean, DDFH was fucking amazing then El-P gets on there talking about satellites and shit killing all the energy. I like El-P but not on this album, at all.
This is interesting.
El killed the title track, Get It, and Twin Hype. I really liked it all, it's cohesive though a little samey, but at under a half hour how can you complain? The juxtaposition of Mike and El's flows gives the album a good ebb and flow (no pun intended, doubly for Sea legs), the beats go hard, and it all made for one of the best rap concerts I've been to. RtJ was a great album, free, and really felt like a DIY labor of love, which I'm all about. It felt more raw than Yeezus, which was cool but obviously really strategic as fuck, or really anything else in hip hop this year. I'm all about RtJ.

I don't get the El-P hate on RTJ either. He isn't amazing on every track, he isn't even good on every track, but he's about average through out.
