feel like this is a parody thread. this album is straight up garbage. I would honestly think this was a 'gag' album and Kanye was just fucking with us for his art if I hadn't already suffered through 808 and Yeezus. I cannot believe people enjoy this wank, and even worse I can't believe this is an album from the same man who put out My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Graduation. This is as disappointing as new Cudi.

 

[brianjones]

Drunk and hot girls is one of the funniest tracks though. I love the rah rah rah part, shit cracks me up all the time.

I also dont mind Barry Bonds. Funny enough Drake got me to appreciate that beat when he rapped over it on one of his early tapes.

wayne verse on barry bonds was terrible.. that was supposed to be when he was in his prime too

drunk and hot girls is an inspired can sample but a nothing song really

i like graduation for the most part but i think its his worst rapping

i haven't heard yeezus yet at all except for bound i should probably do that

 

[Crazyorloco]

Listening to The Life of Pablo is like listening to a Greatest Hits Album that you've never heard of before.

Lol so f'ing true. Good damn music...i got instant feels when listening to this the first time. The nytimes review is accurate.

 

[megalowho]

Cohesive is the last thing I would call this album


It's basically a tour de france on styles through the years that he experimented or enjoyed put onto one album. It's a "collection" basically.

Mentioned it earlier in the thread but there is a clear direction in production and atmosphere the album goes for despite the variety in style. Heavy emphasis on bass, minimalist drum programming, dark and paranoid beats with watery soundscapes and erratic bursts of warm soul and gospel punching through. Approaching Wolves as the closer and the rest as bonus material also helped me appreciate the flow a bit more.

 

[Ran rp]

IFLT works so damn well here. Dammit, Ye.

I think I can safely say this is my favorite album. I'll probably still say MBDTF is his best, but this is the one I'm always going to come back to when I'm in the mood for some Ye.

 

[213372bu]

Where are all these Graduation haters in real life?

I have yet to find one.

 

[Mik317]

I like all Kanye albums equally.

Graduation probably the least but only because I somehow skipped it at that time of its release

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

fuck man i really don't like highlights

 

[MidnightCowboy]

YEEZUS fool

Tru

Blood on the Leaves and Hold My Liquor are both top 5 Kanye tbh

 

[Izuna]

fuck man i really don't like highlights

Increase the volume. You will.

TLOP OR TPAB??

How even.

 

[Red_Man]

TLOP OR TPAB??

Shouldn't even be a conversation. They're so different in every way imagineable. Both are amazing. That's it.

I don't think anyone here hates it. I love a good portion of it but still think it's his weakest album.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

fuck man i really don't like highlights

Don't worry man, I love it enough for the both of us

BLAC CHYNA FUCKING ROB HELPED HIM WITH THE WEIGHT

You know it will be a conversation though

next week
just break like i did. get the tidal trial

 

[Kusagari]

I really think Famous could have been a top 10 Ye song if it was a minute and 30 seconds longer.

 

[MercuryLS]

My ranking is:

Mbdtf
Yeezus
College dropout
Late registration
808s
Graduation

Too early to rate TLOP, but it's already above Grad and 808's and possibly LR.

 

[Izuna]

Outside of obv. Yeezus, can anyone recommend music that is even like Freestyle 4?

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

808s still my fave o.0

dunno if it's the best album. mbdtf and all the good fridays that led up to its release was a pretty awesome journey.

but songs like street lights will probably forever make 808s my fave and most go-to album. number of times i've left street lights on repeat prob be in the few hundreds.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

i guess... death grips, maybe? it's such a unique sound it's hard to find similar shit

 

[213372bu]

I don't think anyone here hates it. I love a good portion of it but still think it's his weakest album.

I can understand, it's just so alien to me because everyone I've ever known that is either into Ye or casually liked him would always speak highly of it. Just a bit weird.

Personally think the only trash track on there is Barry Bonds, and even then it's alright to listen to during a workout.

fuck man i really don't like highlights

Yeah imo, the intro is weak and a lot of parts just sound disjointed.

 

[Ken K in the Fresh!!!]

808s is top shelf stuff

 

[victreeb3l]

SLIGHTLY SCRATCH YOUR COROLLA

OK I SMASHED YOUR COROLLA

another set of bars i absolutely love hearing everytime. Top 5 kanye lyrics

 

[MercuryLS]

808s is top shelf stuff

I get what he's doing with 808s, but I could never love that album no matter how much I listened to it. And it doesn't come from me not having an open mind, Yeezus is one of my favs for example.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

next week
just break like i did. get the tidal trial

I can wait

 

[Ran rp]

I always have trouble ranking the albums but I know that Graduation will always be dead last.

Streetlights... Glowing tho ;___;

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

first 3rd of FML is so, so weak then the track does a 180

 

[victreeb3l]

Late Registration is my least favorite. I never connected to that album for some reason. Hey Mama makes me bawl so I stopped listening to it. Its a great album but I like his other albums better.

Yeezus, 808s and College Dropout round out my top 3. Too early to place TLOP.

wayne verse on barry bonds was terrible.. that was supposed to be when he was in his prime too

drunk and hot girls is an inspired can sample but a nothing song really

i like graduation for the most part but i think its his worst rapping

i haven't heard yeezus yet at all except for bound i should probably do that

Yeah it was kinda lazy but I fuck with it still

Bro go listen to Yeezus.

 

[Hip Hop]

I still can't get over Kanye and Rihanna being on a Havoc beat.

 

[Red_Man]

808's is fantastic and something special, but I can't listen to it without getting depressed and it bring back bad memories.

TLOP is the complete opposite, get's me so pumped and full of energy.

 

[Izuna]

i guess... death grips, maybe? it's such a unique sound it's hard to find similar shit

Welp.

Kanye seems so sane now.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Welp.

Kanye seems so sane now.

go see a death grips show it will change your life

 

[Anth0ny]

WAY too soon to judge where TLOP ranks. After a day I thought Yeezus was complete shit. After a couple months I loved the album.

 

[robotrock]

Outside of obv. Yeezus, can anyone recommend music that is even like Freestyle 4?

Hahahaha this is awesome. God bless

 

[MercuryLS]

Streetlights... Glowing tho ;___;

There are some truly majestic moments on that album, that's for damn sure. I may not love 808s like some of Kanyes albums, but I appreciate it all the same.

 

[Darkman M]

first 3rd of FML is so, so weak then the track does a 180

I love the whole track, the change up is nice though.

Are the drugs and 3d glasses included?

Yeah, someone said here (don't know who) that was kinda worried about Kanye, but this album is a celebration of happiness.

You watching the No Love music video?

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Want more Kanye x Post Malone

A lot more

Thank you Ye ;_;
