Can't wait for the Big Ghost review, that's for sure.

Big Ghost loved I Can't Stop from WTT, and this is practically a whole album of that, so maybe we're going to get several hilarious paragraphs of describing how hard these songs knock.

As far as fun goes, I don't think Yeezus can be topped.

MBDTF was so grandiose, I don't know how you couldn't love it.

Gotta bump it loud man

 

[andymcc]

this is an amazing record.

2013 is such a stacked year musically and this is probably my favorite. a new my bloody valentine record even released this year.

 

[Bowser]

I'm not as partial to LR as most, but I recognize it's greatness. For me, after about 3 listens through Y, here's how I'd go:

CD > LR > Y > MBDTF > G = 808s

 

[ViewtifulJC]

MBDTF is not that good, Graduation is even more mediocre. LR is great though. If you have MBDTF higher than College Dropout you don't really like Kanye West the rapper, but only in his Dr. Dre role.

If you have College Dropout higher than MBDTF, you don't really like Kanye West the music artist, but Roc-A-Fella early 2000s era pop songs

 

[HiResDes]

MBDTF was so grandiose, I don't know how you couldn't love it.

It's an atrocious mess that lacks focus, cohesion, and as Yeezy even admits himself is Grammy bait.

 

[DominoKid]

MBDTF is not that good, Graduation is even more mediocre. LR is great though. If you have MBDTF higher than College Dropout you don't really like Kanye West the rapper, but only in his Dr. Dre role.

these days i listen to the first Freshman Adjustment more than Dropout. Dropout just sounds off to me now.

 

[imBask]

how will I manage to listen to this on repeat while playing Last Of Us tonight? damnit Kanye

Kanye as a rapper and not a cultural icon

Two more hours for me.

 

[Yado]

MBDTF > Y > TCD > G > 808s > LR > WTT > CS

I would probably put the Vh1 Live Storytellers album in there after Graduation but I agree with almost everything else.

 

[EloquentM]

It's an atrocious mess that lacks focus, cohesion, and as Yeezy even admits himself is Grammy.

FTFY

 

[Matugi]

Can't wait to give this a listen

 

[MThanded]

If you have MBDTF above LR then there is something wrong imo

college dropout
yeezus
808s
LR
graduation
MBDTF

MBDTF was just too damn bloated but had one of the best packaging ever so i dont regret buying it.

 

[Blearth]

Motherfuckers bringing negativity into the Yeezus thread. SMH

 

[Jitters]

It's an atrocious mess that lacks focus, cohesion, and as Yeezy even admits himself is Academy Award bait.

I saw that he doesn't like it, but he said he is a minimalist so it makes sense he wouldn't.

[enzo_gt]

MBDTF is the most thematically cohesive piece of anything Ye has put out, with an eclectic collection of sounds that just come together because of how strong the theme is and how grand it all is. And it's the most lyrical Ye has ever been, far, far ahead of the much more cheesy raps in TCD. TCD might be more relatable to folks though because MBDTF deals with more specifics and TCD is just a collection of a bunch of "real" songs. The influence and how much more groundbreaking TCD was is the primary thing that let's it be in contention with MBDTF. MBDTF has the least rough edges of any of his albums except 808s and it's the most carefully crafted of all of them.

This is pre-Yeezus. No idea how Yeezus fits into all of this. I feel it's a bit scatterbrain when it comes to the lyrics.

 

[Kad5]

Too early to make a final judgment but so far this album is great. It's very different that's for sure.

 

[Soler]

lawl

KTT stay losin'

Tbh
It's slowly becoming a breeding ground for trolls as well

 

[Fry]

Not sure what to think, so far.

I like it. I just wish I liked more than I like it right now.

I'm kind of disappointed, but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

 

[Syph Medwes]

CD>MBDTF>808s/LR>G>WTT>CS
Yeezus??

he a real soulful dude

 

[Yado]

Bound 2 tho

I think it may be my favourite track for now.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I don't think Kanye will ever be able to top CD for me personally, because that album dropped at the perfect time in my life and I have too many personal experiences that involve that album.

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

Oh damn, pretty sure it's Beenie Man at the end of Sent It Up. Not Shaggy :lol

Not sure if it's a sample or just Beenie Man singing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jkmmZZfK-I

It's Beenie man.

 

[Treefingers]

loving this. all the sounds are great.

I'll give you guys the true rankings

rofl ok Send it Up rules, thats my favorite song right there

 

[enzo_gt]

This is me with MBDTF, basically.

I relate WAY too much with that album, and it does slightly exceed how I relate with TCD so naturally I place it above.

I really do think it's worthy of being discussed alongside TCD/LR though. But I'd also rather discussion here just focus on Yeezus lol. Kanye cycle is the most slippery of slopes. Can't we eat together for one day before we go at each other's necks?

I'll give you guys the true rankings

LR>WTT>MBDTF>G>Y>CD>808>CS

the fuck

It's time for people to accept the fact that Cd had like 5 good songs
