Off top of my head (I know I'm forgetting something):
College Dropout
Death Certificate
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Fishscale
Wait Snapchat will let random people make filters? I had no idea. If so I stand corrected. I thought they went through some approval process.

Well, todays starting out just great...
Not to mention both the Apple twitter account and an Apple exec posting on Instagram that new Frank was coming soon. Seems like something fucked up and halted the release, they aren't putting up that site with all these teasers to release it in November.
Agreed

Ok, but what do you think the November 13th date signifies? Some are saying it's in reference to Camp Flog Gnaw, alluding that he might play the show.
I think it alludes to him playing the show. Just like you stated. Not that the album wouldn't drop until then. Seems odd for Apple twitter, Apple Exec twitter, snapchat filters, NYtimes article and video stream to all happen in one week to drum up press for an album thats dropping in november.

Kind of just answered your question there, no? And given how he cancelled shows before without explanation, you can't even be sure of his presence at CFG.
In no order:
Madvilliany
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Hell Hath No Fury
Enter The 36 Chambers
Good choice. One of my all-time faves, too. Incidentally also Kanye's best production work, imo.Top 3

No Late Registration??? No MBDTF??? Who needs WTT, replace that with LR. Also I would listen to TLOP last.

I left out MBDTF and put TLOP on because I wanted to know what everyone was on about when talking about TLOP and no one really talks about MBDTF from what I've seen mostly. I just chose WTT at random. I'll check out LR tho
MBDTF is his best project in my (and many others) opinion. I think it's essential if you're looking to get into his music.
MBDTF is his best work and one of the best rap albums of all time.

Until this thread I've literally never heard of it, might just be me tho because I'm really not part of the scene
It's you, that album was huge the year it came out, and topped a lot of critics end of year lists.
I think it's better to listen to the discography in order of release than just at random.
It's literally the opposite. It's considered his Magnum Opus and was one on basically every music site's AOTY list that year.
Forget about WTT, it's not a Ye solo album. I'd honestly listen to all albums in order of release just to understand his sonic progression. CD, LR, Grad, 808, MBDTF, Yeezus.

I usually do this with every new artist I listen to tbh. I usually just start with songs that interest me or albums that are popular then develop my taste for the artist from there with a few randoms thrown in. It takes like an hour to listen to an album though and 30 seconds to switch out stuff. Usually when listening in chronological order I get bored since some of an artist's early work isn't as refined as their later work or their style changes completely throughout their career and at that time I just kinda feel one style more than the other.
Also, it's Watch the Throne's 5th anniversary.
No Church in the Wild is such a GOAT intro track. Frank

There really are no missteps in Kanye's solo discography (including WTT), imo. I think it's definitely worth it to listen to his music beginning to end

I'm not saying I wont get to it all eventually, I just never personally feel any obligation to listen to an artist's work chronologically.Also, it's Watch the Throne's 5th anniversary.

Man at least put Late Registration after dropout and leave TLOP for later.
Which isn't an insult towards TLOP but I think Late Registration fits just outside of your reasons for not wanting to listen in chronological order.
(Though honestly I can't think of an artist who's discography is meant to be listened to in chronological order more than Kanye, its like audio character development with his persona and skills, not to mention it makes you appreciate certain things later on more)

it's dark and dark is hot is an all time classic. Literally every track is classic. He gets a free pass for life from me for it.

It's you, I didn't even start actively listening to music until three years ago and I heard of it, the album is generally considered the best of the decade and one of the best of all time, the praise was everywhere.
Pitchfork gave it a 10.
Last year's Your Favorite Music Albums really was fun to go through. Discovered some new faves, like Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea .

Thanks for this.
Not to totally ignore the discussion about albums going on, but have y'all heard this??? Fertilizer is ALWAYS stuck in my head after I run through channel Orange:
Fertilizer by James Fauntleroy
Apparently this guy co produced channel Orange I think? This song is bomb as hell. And his mixtape "Leading By Example" is really good too.

Made it through Yeezus and Graduation so far. New Slaves and Black Skinhead are great. I didn't really feel too much of everything else, a least nearly on that level, it has some great production but it doesn't feel nearly as coherent or consistent as Graduation, I've heard about half of graduation my life so I don't really have any newfound love for the songs but I can appreciate them more than I did when I heard them but I kinda zoned out a lot while listening to graduation so it'll probably require another listen for comments on substance. I really like the commentary and lyrics on the two songs I mentioned and production and delivery. I liked a lot of things about blood on the leaves but the subject matter kinda ruins it for me, or well if it's anti abortion I can't get behind that.
Skip straight to Late Registration now.
