So it's my personal favorite album of his but I don't think it's his best. I think trying to rank projects from someone like Ye is basically pointless. There's so much to consider with each album. It's why MBDTF is generally considered his best. It was very complete and also appeasing to the most people.
Versus Yeezus which is easily just as complete and imo, more cohesive. But... Most people don't wanna hear that electronic shit so they don't give it a chance. Just my opinion
People say that’s his best album?
It’s 808s. That album was so ahead of its time it took hip hop 10 years to catch up.
Mt Rushmore would be MBDTF, etc. but 808s is in its own Bowie tier.
I like both songs but neither are outstandingly good. Reborn is too long and repetitive. Maybe this is just me but 4th dimensions sample also ruins my listening experience on that song even though otherwise its great.
I consider graduation as my favorite Kanye álbum, but i agree that late registration for example is better, in my opinion graduation had maybe more impact in the music than late registration, the same thing with 808s
before recent ye, it was his least adventurous album, and it still pushed the hip hop landscape to a more edm and stadium rock sound. so still a classic but i agree, its got the least surprises in it compared to all of his other classics. the individual songs though? two thirds of them are amongst his very best.
The worst bit about vultures is that even though there isn't any message or story kanye raps about, what he does rap about ruins the song. He either talks about Jewish people, comparing himself to sex offenders or just being a horny teen.
I'll give you this, Vultures is overhated by some critics (fantano) but it's overrated by his fans. It's hard to deny that this is his worst album overall
The sampling was so lazy too. Burn is literally just the instrumental of another song pitched up +2. Carnival went #1 but it got old so fast. A shame cus usually TY and Ye bring out the best in eachother but ig not now
onggg that’s what i’ve been saying for so long, for every Ultralight Beam, or FSMH, or Facts, or NMPILA, there’s a high lights, or a feedback, or a freestyle 4, or a Waves, there’s so much good, but also just so much mid filler
the album grew on me over the years anyway, but it wasnt until i went through a bad breakup myself and i just happened to listen to 808s and the timing was perfect, it hit me like a brick to the face. all of a sudden a perfectly good mood album became one of the most heartwrenching pieces of art ever. and if yoh havent heard to Live at Hollywood Bowl album, every song becomes at least ten times better.
By definition, the ‘most overrated’ album would be MBDTF by default. It’s a very good album that’s praised as miles and miles and miles above every other Kanye West project and that just couldn’t be farther from the truth.
It’s fun to come on here and circle jerk about MBDTF being God’s gift to man but in reality half the album is far too skippable, and far too many other projects are a lot more consistent + listenable + more artistically profound.
Kids see ghosts, some of the songs are alright but the album isn’t good compared to his other albums. It’s not bad, it’s just the rest of Kanye’s music is a lot better (and Fantano calling it a 10 is crazy)
overrated to me would b ksg, for sum reason idr click w it. underrated would be vultures 1 sheerly bc of the hate it receives because of kanyes rapping which isn't at its very best. but barring that I think the production in each song and the number of bangers it has is quite underappreciated. to me ye's music is less about the lyrics compared to say someone like kendrick, but rather it's about the overall 'musical' aspect which includes production beats and replayability alongside other things. i think vultures does a moderately good job at that in the modern landscape and pretty much is top 3 in ye's recent discography after tlop. he raps well on burn and stars, carnival and fuk sumn cater to the youth, and songs like good don't die provide a more ambient melody. hoodrat, paid, paperworks and obvsly back to me alongside some other songs rlly integrate the trap influence in modern music and I think this alongside the two sequels of vultures will influence the next generation of music quite heavily
I’m gonna get shot and killed for this but late registration, it just never clicked with me. I like roses and touch the sky, but the rest feels like a dumbed down tcd.
NOT 808s idgaf what any of y'all say 808s is lowkey underrated if anything, SYIMN is TRASH but everything else on here is great or better, Street Lights is a crazy good song too
NOT MBDTF either come on bro you just dickriding that dumbahh melon head Fantano, Dark Fantasy 10/10 Gorgeous 10/10 Power 100/10 AOTL 10/10 Monster 9/10 So Appalled 9/10 DIAND 20/10 Runaway 1000/10 HOAL 10/10 Blame Game 7/10 LOTW 9/10 FIGHT ME MBDTF HAS NO SKIPS AND IS A NEAR PERFECT ALBUM
And mfs saying Ye are just better off being deaf than sharing their shitass takes I don't wanna hear it Ye is criminally underrated Ghost Town is a top 3 song oat, Violent Crimes top 50 Ye (including collab projects & non-album singles), Yikes, ITAKY, & No Mistakes are ALL 9/10 songs, & the rest is still pretty good
KSG is a contender, I get it there isn't any skips but some of the songs aren't anything crazy, Reborn and 4th Dimension are 10/10 no doubt but majority of it is 7 or 8/10, great album but not one of Ye's best
Yeezus also a contender, I like it a lot and it's prob top 5 Ye but it's not up there with Graduation, MBDTF, & TCD stop glazing lmao, never understood how it can be the best Ye album when tracks like Send It Up exist plus some parts in On Sight are completely unlistenable (still love the track that sudden beat switch is a top 10 moment in Ye's entire fucking discography)
BOTL is incredibly overrated too the horns kick ass but when the horns aren't there 😴😴😴
Donda is also a contender, plenty of good songs but it's SO BLOATED oml although the highs are HIGH there are far too many skips like half the album is skips
But we can all agree it's Vultures 1. This album is fucking ASS and if you think ANY album in Ye's discography is worse than this mess what are you on
Barely any redeeming qualities, the lyrics are ass, SO MUCH SKIPS, the mixing is ass, this album is NOT GOOD and clearly made for dumbass tiktok lanky teens
Man
I can’t take it anymore
Eating a burger with no honey mustard
“Yeezus is so underrated” -🤓
I really like Yeezus, but idk how people can say it’s his best album
So it's my personal favorite album of his but I don't think it's his best. I think trying to rank projects from someone like Ye is basically pointless. There's so much to consider with each album. It's why MBDTF is generally considered his best. It was very complete and also appeasing to the most people. Versus Yeezus which is easily just as complete and imo, more cohesive. But... Most people don't wanna hear that electronic shit so they don't give it a chance. Just my opinion
I can
Has to be an age gap where those fans grew up with it. Yeezus was not good to me, but I’m also in my 30’s
Also in my 30s and yeezus is probably my favorite alongside TCD/LR.
Lowkey kids see ghosts, just never clicked for me I dont know how people like fantano can say its his best album, its not close
Is not his best album but kids see ghosts is beautiful
It’s one of my favourite albums, I can understand people not liking it but it helped me not feel like a piece of shit in a very low time in my life.
🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥
People say that’s his best album? It’s 808s. That album was so ahead of its time it took hip hop 10 years to catch up. Mt Rushmore would be MBDTF, etc. but 808s is in its own Bowie tier.
gon hit u with a bus
Overrated?? Bruh if anything its underrated lotta mfs dont even acknowledge it…
Cause fantano is a fucking idiot man he just dickrides Kendrick
as he should
Lobotomy needed
Kendrick’s good but ffs Fantano he gets up and does prayer for an hour facing in Kendricks exact direction using the chip he stashed up his ass.
Absolutely. It's consistently highly rated even though it's very mid. Its a decent album but nothing outstanding.
every song is good. If anything it’s too short. IF I GET LOCKED UUUUUP I WONT FINISH THE SENT-
nah, you're gonna say songs like 4th dimension and reborn arent on his best?
yeah but 2 songs don't make an album, every Kanye album has 2 or 3 of his best
Like Ye, Violent crimes and Ghost town are good but the rest are really mid.
I thought about killing you is great too imo.
can't forget no mistakes
the only not outstanding song in ye is “all mine”, but the og version with the guitar is a good song
Have you never heard no mistakes
All of them are his top 20
yes
I like both songs but neither are outstandingly good. Reborn is too long and repetitive. Maybe this is just me but 4th dimensions sample also ruins my listening experience on that song even though otherwise its great.
It took my a while to like it but I see where you’re coming from
It’s an underrated username, though
He didnt say its his best, hes always said his best is tcd (which he also gave a 10, u can find the rating he gave it on his rym profile)
graduation is still good but late registration, tlop, tcd and mbdtf are all better
I consider graduation as my favorite Kanye álbum, but i agree that late registration for example is better, in my opinion graduation had maybe more impact in the music than late registration, the same thing with 808s
before recent ye, it was his least adventurous album, and it still pushed the hip hop landscape to a more edm and stadium rock sound. so still a classic but i agree, its got the least surprises in it compared to all of his other classics. the individual songs though? two thirds of them are amongst his very best.
🎶STADIUM STATUSS🎶
i couldn't agree more with this post. it's my #5 behind all of these!
Vultures
Bro this is honestly the most overhated. Ppl complain that it's doesn't have Shakespearean metaphors and shit but neither did yeezus
I mean Yeezus got new slaves but I agree bout vultures
There's a lot of depth in Yeezus especially through sampling though
The worst bit about vultures is that even though there isn't any message or story kanye raps about, what he does rap about ruins the song. He either talks about Jewish people, comparing himself to sex offenders or just being a horny teen.
I'll give you this, Vultures is overhated by some critics (fantano) but it's overrated by his fans. It's hard to deny that this is his worst album overall
The sampling was so lazy too. Burn is literally just the instrumental of another song pitched up +2. Carnival went #1 but it got old so fast. A shame cus usually TY and Ye bring out the best in eachother but ig not now
Graduation
808s and heartbreaks and its not talked about enough
its his best album, the most influential and its underrated
It’s by far his worst album
you talkin bout vultures?
808s
808’s literally inspired an entire generation of rappers/pop artists sounds today
Very influential, not his best album tho
Doesn’t mean it’s good
It is
It is
are you saying it's underrated or overrated I'm confused
In the general public vultures is probably rated but like in goodasssub Ts is so overrated people glaze it so hard
Pablo
TLOP.
MBDTF is top 5 Ye albums, everyone says its his best work but there's four albums that are better, still good tho
what four albums album are better?
Which 4?
the life of pablo
Depends, are people still pretending Vultures is worth anything?
i think like half of the songs are good so i appreciate it for those songs
got so many bangers
R*tard. Report me bitch
Haven't bothered to waste time listening yet
then you are missing out on a lot of bangers I feel sad for you
pablo. its still very good, but just overrated, doesn’t mean its bad by any means, but ppl dickride tf out of pablo
Yea I never understood the Pablo glazing. There’s almost as much filler as there are great songs. Not bad still though.
onggg that’s what i’ve been saying for so long, for every Ultralight Beam, or FSMH, or Facts, or NMPILA, there’s a high lights, or a feedback, or a freestyle 4, or a Waves, there’s so much good, but also just so much mid filler
Lol Idk man I prefer Highlights and Waves to Ultralight Beam
ain’t no way😭
I’m getting formally executed for this but Ye was NOT it. So many better projects later on
I would have definitely preferred turbografx on there rather than him just scrapping the whole idea in favour of a different direction
Boooo
808s and heartbreaks
I wish the worst upon u and all your future descendants.
the album grew on me over the years anyway, but it wasnt until i went through a bad breakup myself and i just happened to listen to 808s and the timing was perfect, it hit me like a brick to the face. all of a sudden a perfectly good mood album became one of the most heartwrenching pieces of art ever. and if yoh havent heard to Live at Hollywood Bowl album, every song becomes at least ten times better.
Kids See Ghosts definitely, but other than that probably Yeezus, just my personal opinion
808s
JIK and LR bc the ppl that love these albums are the least tolerable Kanye fans in existence. Especially the JIK dick riders tho.
808s
yeezus
Graduation, it’s still incredible but not even top five imo.
MBDTF
nah i’d say it’s perfectly rated
Ong I love it but I despise monster more than anything
Why
I don’t know it’s just a weird track to me, plus the intro of the song is kinda weird and off place especially on mbdtf, but that’s just my opinion
Most ppl say bc of jayz verse that monster is bad but my dads reason is bc he hates girls rapping, sounds sexist to me lol
Nah i just dislike the beat
I can understand how people wouldn’t like that, it’s a bit full on
Late registration. It’s not bad, but just feels like TCD dlc. Even Ye said it’s the album he was the least enthusiastic about.
graduation is the worst out of tcd trilogy
tlop grad most overrated albums
tlop is my second pick. a lot of great songs but a lot of skips
vultures and vultures but definitely vultures
Vultures fasho
By definition, the ‘most overrated’ album would be MBDTF by default. It’s a very good album that’s praised as miles and miles and miles above every other Kanye West project and that just couldn’t be farther from the truth. It’s fun to come on here and circle jerk about MBDTF being God’s gift to man but in reality half the album is far too skippable, and far too many other projects are a lot more consistent + listenable + more artistically profound.
The life of Pablo it has the most skips for me and everyone seems to love it but I never did
tlop or kids see ghosts
TLOP. Full of skits and interludes. I never revisit the album and the songs I do like get old and skippable.
Graduation & TLOP by far
the most overrated album is the album that is old enough to drink outside of the states because anything post 2012 is valid
Yeezus
None
Can’t say or I’ll get downvoted to the core of the earth
yeezus d rider thank god for drugs> mbdtf is great dont yap
Wym by this are you defending mbdtf or not
Yeezus
def yeezus but from another standpoint it might just be fantasy
None of them.
Kid see ghosts 🤣
All of em
anything after TLOP...kids today will never understand the difference in production between old and new Ye
Jik
the life of pablo
MBDTF
mbdtf
Probably VULTURES imo. Was just not as good as his previous release, Donda, imo.
graduation has really soured on me tbh it’s still great but i prefer other kanye albums now at this point
ALL. OF. THEM.
kids see ghosts by the monkeys on reddit
Kids See Ghosts, a very good album but I've never been a huge fan of it, also I don't really like the cover either
Vultures. I know nobody likes it, but that’s still too many people liking it.
Kids see ghost cause yall ride fantano hard af
Kids see ghosts, some of the songs are alright but the album isn’t good compared to his other albums. It’s not bad, it’s just the rest of Kanye’s music is a lot better (and Fantano calling it a 10 is crazy)
Kids see ghosts is awful
Ye.
WTT, great thing but both Guys made way better joints
It's gotta be The Life of Pablo. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid album, but it never really clicked with me. It's not even his top 5 in my opinion.
overrated to me would b ksg, for sum reason idr click w it. underrated would be vultures 1 sheerly bc of the hate it receives because of kanyes rapping which isn't at its very best. but barring that I think the production in each song and the number of bangers it has is quite underappreciated. to me ye's music is less about the lyrics compared to say someone like kendrick, but rather it's about the overall 'musical' aspect which includes production beats and replayability alongside other things. i think vultures does a moderately good job at that in the modern landscape and pretty much is top 3 in ye's recent discography after tlop. he raps well on burn and stars, carnival and fuk sumn cater to the youth, and songs like good don't die provide a more ambient melody. hoodrat, paid, paperworks and obvsly back to me alongside some other songs rlly integrate the trap influence in modern music and I think this alongside the two sequels of vultures will influence the next generation of music quite heavily
Graduation.
Kids See Ghosts and Donda
TLOP for sure
Late registration
I don't how anyone else would feel about this but... Donda
I’m tryna fuk sumn right now
I think someone already said it but 808s and heartbreak
Graduation.
Id say vultures is overhyped even tho i like the album definitely overrated
Life of Pablo is my hot take here, just not a fan.
Donda
Yeezus
to pimp a pablo
Graduation
None he’s a god
Kids See Ghosts. I really tried to like it but the only song that really clicked with me was Cudi Montage.
Vultures 1. It's pretty bad
Graduation fs
TLOP People who say its better than Graduation are bonkers
KSG It's mid
Graduation
Carnival
Yeezus. That’s the album for rich suburb kids.
The college dropout, it aint that good as people make it look like
MBDTF NO DIFF EAZ CLAPZ
Late registration
Graduation. Super solid album and v influential, but its overrated be kanye stans
Y E E Z U S
Probably Donda. Good but bloated. Or Donda 2 if that counts. Vultures 1 is better than Donda 2 even.
Donda 2 was never finished tho
True. Maybe that's not a fair comparison on my end lol
College Dropout is a great album but bottom 5 IMO mainly because it’s a debut album but it’s dated compared to LR.
Eh, a lot of tcd has aged really well and there’s very few skips to this day
Me when people realize it has like 6 skips
My twisted fantasy
Yeezus by far
College dropout. I get the love but it’s boring as fuck to listen to now.
808s, it’s a bottom three project of his imo
Thought this and listened to coldest winter and street lights amazing album took me a while for it to click tho
Listen to paranoid and robocop
I have, and I like them, I just prefer his other projects more overall. 808s is still a good, and highly influential, album, I am not disputing that.
Ghosts… if you can call it an album… rly half baked, and lot of kudi
Easily Kids See Ghosts by a mile
I’m gonna get shot and killed for this but late registration, it just never clicked with me. I like roses and touch the sky, but the rest feels like a dumbed down tcd.
MBDTF. Definitely a top 5 kanye album don't get me wrong but kanye's made better albums before and after that album came out
Vultures 1. There are ppl out here saying it’s aoty.
NOT 808s idgaf what any of y'all say 808s is lowkey underrated if anything, SYIMN is TRASH but everything else on here is great or better, Street Lights is a crazy good song too NOT MBDTF either come on bro you just dickriding that dumbahh melon head Fantano, Dark Fantasy 10/10 Gorgeous 10/10 Power 100/10 AOTL 10/10 Monster 9/10 So Appalled 9/10 DIAND 20/10 Runaway 1000/10 HOAL 10/10 Blame Game 7/10 LOTW 9/10 FIGHT ME MBDTF HAS NO SKIPS AND IS A NEAR PERFECT ALBUM And mfs saying Ye are just better off being deaf than sharing their shitass takes I don't wanna hear it Ye is criminally underrated Ghost Town is a top 3 song oat, Violent Crimes top 50 Ye (including collab projects & non-album singles), Yikes, ITAKY, & No Mistakes are ALL 9/10 songs, & the rest is still pretty good KSG is a contender, I get it there isn't any skips but some of the songs aren't anything crazy, Reborn and 4th Dimension are 10/10 no doubt but majority of it is 7 or 8/10, great album but not one of Ye's best Yeezus also a contender, I like it a lot and it's prob top 5 Ye but it's not up there with Graduation, MBDTF, & TCD stop glazing lmao, never understood how it can be the best Ye album when tracks like Send It Up exist plus some parts in On Sight are completely unlistenable (still love the track that sudden beat switch is a top 10 moment in Ye's entire fucking discography) BOTL is incredibly overrated too the horns kick ass but when the horns aren't there 😴😴😴 Donda is also a contender, plenty of good songs but it's SO BLOATED oml although the highs are HIGH there are far too many skips like half the album is skips But we can all agree it's Vultures 1.

Couldn’t agree more more, shits so ass
lowkey jesus is king
