@kanyewest

I was thinking about not making CDs ever again... Only streaming​

@kanyewest

the Yeezus album packaging was an open casket to CDs r.i.p
​

@kanyewest

uuuuuuum, so there it is... No more CDs from me
​

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Kanye CDs are over, so now we can officially rank them all as they are final

MBDTF > CD > LR >> Grad/TLOP > Yeezus > 808s

 

[Koozek]

LR >= CD > MBDTF > 808s = TLOP = Grad > Yeezus

EDIT:
LR >= CD > MBDTF > 808s = Grad > Yeezus >= TLOP

 

[Uno Venova]

Is that hxlt album that Kanye co-signed good?

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Metro said he did the drums on FML from TLOP. Also says he's been doing a lot of stuff with Kendrick...

Why can't he work with Thug like that sigh...

 

[Syntsui]

I'm ready for trap Kendrick.

Future ft. The Weeknd - Low Life live at SNL. So weird seeing Weeknd in anything but a comatose state.

Travi$ Scott - Uber Everywhere official release.

Listen to that garbage yourself and decide

Only skipped through, but sounded wack. He was signed to G.O.O.D recently.

From the Pitchfork review:

A lot of the narrative surrounding this record has been about Holt finally embracing the influences traditional rap heads considered too weird, or "too white." Clap for him for sticking to his convictions but speaking frankly, a lot of people wouldn’t be giving this the time of day were it not presented via the Kanye West/G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam co-sign. The missed opportunity is the most frustrating part. What could have been a real shift in culture ends up feeling like moving into a new apartment: There’s some potential, but things are still all over the place.​

 

[FZZ]

Travi$ Scott - Uber Everywhere official release.

He's also been hinting at a new project for a while now

birds in the trap sing mcknight

Guessing it'll be called "birds in the trap sing mcknight"

@xdannyxbrownx
Just played my album for Alchemist ...

Motherfucker. Lets go, need this.

Untitled 8 is possibly the smoothest Kendrick song of all time, I'm a believer in Jazzy Kendrick for sure.

Song is so fucking good. Transitioned well from the Fallon performance.

I love all 4 of kendricks albums so far. Very hard to rank.

Agreed. OD was solid too.

Travi$ Scott - Uber Everywhere official release.

Yeezus is a better album than TLOP, the only thing definitely worse is Graduation.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

stay righteous courage

 

[Koozek]

Yeezus is a better album than TLOP, the only thing definitely worse is Graduation.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I'd change mine to this:
LR >= CD > MBDTF > 808s = Grad > Yeezus >= TLOP

I got good memories of my youth with Grad, though. Was it as badly received as now back when it came out? I don't remember.

 

[enzo_gt]

It's clearly between Yeezus, TLOP, Graduation and MAYBE LR at the bottom. What keeps TLOP close to Graduation is just a raw count of good songs, and what keeps Yeezus above both is better consistency and vision.

LR is just the wildcard of his discography. Debatably the most uninspired, debatably has the least vision, debatably has the least cohesion, debatably overstays its welcome, debatably lacks career highs and/or has the most okayish songs of his career, etc. And I mean debatably in earnest.

EDIT: I mean this in terms of trends of people's rankings, not necessarily my personal ones, although they conform to this.

It might be nostalgia but it was my personally most important Ye album. So many wonderful memories of when I was 14, got my first MP3-capable phone and rode around with my homies playing LR.

[BlackJace]

Holy shiiet

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Travis ruined Uber Everywhere. His shit is starting to sound the same.

 

[Eos]

 

[Courage]

LR is a classic, to say it has the least vision when he recruited an entire fucking orchestra for the album is disingenuous to say the least.

 

[FZZ]

I still don't fuck with ross, but the beat switch to the constant bass is nice and it'll get Curry more exposure which is great

 

[Cudder]

What a time to be alive was pretty much my introduction to Future. that song above with Weeknd from his new album sounds so dope. I'm in the mood for some ignorant trap, where do I start with him?

 

[enzo_gt]

Late Orchestration is not Late Registration, even though Ye did a lot of orchestral work on LR w/Brion.

The flipside of that debate being it's (one of) the sonically closest projects to another release of his. Which is also true. Kind of sporadic in content too.

DS2.

Seriously. The progression on Gone is like the best thing Kanye's ever been a part of, and the prodution throughout the album + the evolution of his sampling style and the slight Chicago jazz/blues tone in the middle of the album.

Kanye hasn't come close to LR since IMO.

EDIT: And the Drive Slow --> Addiction sequence is the best run in Kanye's discography.

Definitely DS2. Not having listened to Future before it took me several tries over a few months until DS2 clicked, but when it finally did, after WATTBA warmed me up to Future, whew. Been bumping it a lot again recently. And I'm liking EVOL more and more, too.

Scrap Addiction and I probably agree they have the best flow of anything in his discography. First half of Yeezus and from Runaway to the end of MBDTF are up there.
