Does any other artists go through the cycle as much as Kanye does ?
Dude gets brought up every six months minimum. I love it as a Ye music fan. Seems like almost everyone asked in this generation has a favorite and hated Kanye album. XD

 

[Mortemis]

It definitely grew on me. Blood on the leaves is one of my favorite yeezy tracks, black skinhead and new slaves are great and on sight is one of his best intros.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

That album aged like vinegar.

808s-MBDTF-Yeezus

Is one of modern musics best trilogies. OF ALL TIME

Hold my liquor 😢😢😢

Album is a masterpiece

No cycle, Yeezus great then, Yeezus great now

 

[BigPapi]

I view yeezus the same way I see encore by eminem there is few gems but overall it was bad and still is

 

[Pavaloo]

for sure

i wasn't totally into it at release, thinking Kanye had kind of scrapped the whole thing together (as I'm sure a lot of people feel about TLoP), but as time went on I kept returning to the songs more and more, they became frequents in my workouts too. At this point I love this album am more interested in post-808s Kanye entirely

The one true answer

BITCH IM BACK OUT MY COMA

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Second worst album, but it still sounds good today

I do think Bound 2 and Send it Up are pretty bad though

Send It Up's beat is perfection what are you talking about crazy.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Yeezus is amazing and it always was amazing

808s-MBDTF-Yeezus

Agreed. To go from something as beautiful and fragile as Coldest Winter to the brusqueness of On Sight in such a short time quite remarkable.

 

[Z_Y]

Thanks OP. Haven't listened in s long while and decided to revisit it. Guilt Trip has me feeling all sorts of ways. Reminds me of something from 808.

I loved 808.

 

[ViciousDS]

Still his worst album.

life of pablo is by far his worst album

 

[number11]

The only negative is the lyrics. Kanye has never been known for his lyricism.. but this and Pablo are next level terrible when it comes to lyrics.

 

[hughesta]

Kanye's best album for sure, only album that even comes close in MBDTF. 10/10 perfect tracks.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

We about to have a Kanye Rank thread or nah?

1. No

Every Kanye thread eventually becomes a rank thread.

It is known.

 

[DiddyBop]

No cycle, Yeezus great then, Yeezus great now

yup, I initially hated it, it took me a few listens to understand it's not a typical Kanye album and i grew to appreciate it. Top 3 kanye album. From the get go with On Sight, the sample states:

"he'll give us what we need, it may not be what we want"

sets the tone for the album perfectly and was placed there for a reason. Great album

I loved 808.

Amazing album, but these two songs stand out so much. I agree though, I loved Yeezus when it dropped, but now I like it even more.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Thanks for reminding me Blood On The Leaves exists, haven't listened to that song in a long time.

 

[Askherserenity]

It was always fine wine.

 

[Nothing1016]

I don't think Kanye West has ever released a bad album. His albums are all at least 7/10's

 

[Guevara]

I don't think I like anything he's done post 808s.

Some of the Yeezys are cool though.

 

[VeeP]

Yeah, it's great, his second best after Pablo. Great rebound album after the dull, self-indulgent crap that was MBDTF.

....what?

Yeezus is probably his worst album for me. Blood on the Leaves is one of his greatest songs however. Amazing.

Pablo was a decent album. Ultralight Beam is also equally amazing.

Best album: MBDTF Second Best: Late Registration

 

[naib]

I have box wine older than this album. What are you kids going on about?

 

[Bounceounce]

It's an incredible album, A1 production, A1 sequencing, and A1 lyrics/flow.
It's tied for my favorite Kanye album with 808s and MBDTF.

 

[Grenouille]

I wish the David Lynch Blood On The Leaves video had worked out.

 

[Goldboy]

Agreed. I hated the album at first but have grown to enjoy it a lot. It's still his worst other than TLOP though.

 

[JTripper]

I am a God
So hurry up with my damn massage
In a French-ass restaurant
Hurry up with my damn croissants

Timeless.

 

[sans_pants]

i gave it a spin today because of this thread

so good. prob my favorite kanye album but tbh i never liked him much and have barely heard his "classics"

i just don't think he's all that good at rapping, and yeezus doesn't bother with much of that

 

[goldlion054]

It's been hot since day 1.

Slightly scratch your Corolla.
Okay, I smashed your Corolla

His greatest lyric

Close:

your girl don't like me? How long has she been gay?

This album has been top tier since it's inception.

 

[Syphon Filter]

This album was when you started to suspect Kanye had run out of good ideas, then he confirmed it with life of Pablo.

TLOP was great, what's wrong?

 

[Nickle]

There are a few songs that I don't care for (hold my liquor, send it up, I'm in it, guilt trip), but the other half of the album is masterful, and On Sight and New Slaves may be Kanye's best songs.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Yeezus is probably his best album, though Late Registration is not far behind.

Bound 2 sucks though.

Yeezus is his worst album and bound 2 is easily the best track on that album.

[C4Lukins]

A 4 year old fine wine?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

When those horns hit in Blood on the Leaves tho...

 

[-tetsuo-]

Sucked then. Sucks now.

 

[blame space]

Boo!

 

[dafinezt]

On Sight through New Slaves is amazing. Bound 2 is great, too.

Not really a fan of the rest of the album.

 

[Draper]

Amazing and cohesive album with the one glaring blemish that was Bound 2.

 

[blame space]

What the fuck am I reading

 

[hughesta]

Hold My Liquor is maybe the best song of the 2010s, and I'm In It is criminally underrated.

 

[Rushersauce]

Vinegar

 

[Dominator]

Probably my favorite Kanye album. Shit knocks.

Blood on the Leaves is Ye's best song.
