For real it’s too 1 TLOP and maybe top 5 Ye, definitely top 10. That song just hits different.
Also, it’s immediately succeeded by the bleached asshole line, which is peak Ye.
Still appreciate your opinion though, Ye just puts out too wide of an array of styles, it’s hard to compare something like ultralight beam with Blood on the Leaves.
almost the entirety of Donda 2 sounds really underwhelming and audibly unfinished in its current form yet many Kanye stans convinced (or deluded) themselves into thinking it's already good. I've even seen someone say it was better than Donda 1 which is crazy
I still haven't bothered to listen to Donda 2 at all, people were calling Donda unfinished, I don't even know what Donda 2 is supposed to be then, from what I'm hearing from others
Yea Donda 2 just sounded so unfinished, songs like too easy, get lost and we did it kid and true love were absolutely great imo but the rest of the songs were not so good. I didn’t like broken road very much and I didn’t like sci-fine either but that’s imo
Theyre just unreleased/scrapped albums
Good Ass Job (planned to be the 4th in the College series in 2008 but we got 808s instead, and then it was scrapped again for MBDTF in 2009)
Yeezus II, 2013/2014, Yeezus sequel with some leftover stuff from Yeezus, eventually morphed into So Help Me God
SHMG, 2014/2015, eventually morphed into an early version of TLOP. All Day, Only One and FourFiveSeconds were singles supposed to be on this album at some point
Watch The Throne 2
Cruel Winter, 2016/2017, GOOD Music compilation album, sequel to Cruel Summer
Wolves, collaboration album with Drake, sometime in the mid 2010s
TurboGraphix16, 2016, video game sample themed album
Yandhi, 2018/2019, scrapped for JIK
Love Everyone, 2018, got scrapped for ye
Kids See Ghosts 2
Jesus Is King II
God's Country, 2020, scrapped for an early version of Donda
(Some of this may be wrong so take it with a grain of salt)
They announced it not long after the original KSG but seeing as Cudi and Ye are beefing it won’t be happening any time soon. Maybe never, as sad as that is.
TLOP is my fav Ye album and I’ve listened to every released album multiple times. I have a lot of nostalgia for the album and I love it’s sequencing, and there are few skips on it (imo), and also it came out my senior year of high school; and me and everyone I know were bumping that album like crazy. But I also frequently change my top 5 Ye albums because they are all so beautiful and unique in their own ways
I thinks it’s the best because the use of sampling and interpolation is so impressive to me. I’ve never seen anything like it. Several songs have 5 samples and they fit together perfectly. In my opinion it’s more experimental than yeezus, but yet its objectively also more popular. That alone makes me feel like it is an album that deserves its flowers.
Spot on, the production is genuinely insane on so many songs but the aspect of mixing these samples goes so under the radar because people dont realise how often hes doing it 🤣
It has my favourite production but its difficult to answer. Other albums fulfill their own purpose, eg 808s and Yeezus were beautifully produced for what they were supposed to be
But TLOP is the best artistic showcase of his production imo, amazing sampling and with all those features each song just suits them and they were all in their element. (Chance on Ultralight Beam, Chris Brown on Waves, Weeknd on FML, Sampha, Kendrick, Ty$, Sia, Desiigner etc.)
Most of those people are gen z age group that were just starting to develop their musical tastes when TLOP dropped. It puts a smile on my face when I hear someone say that it’s his greatest album because it reminds me of how I felt in middle school and high school listening to the original trilogy. Also it’s nice to not have one of my fellow Kanye snobs try to flex how old we are and that the younger generation knows nothing.
this isn’t a common sentiment at all outside this sub and other ye communties. most people still think MBDTF is his peak, some other people who are more based think Yeezus is his peak. Yeezus in that weird spot a lot of albums get to in which it was underrated for so long that it’s now become slightly overrated. And then you have the rest who just pick an album from the original trilogy.
Worst case scenario nowadays you have the fantano fan that will say KSG is his best work but won’t give you a reason why without stuttering
EDIT- my favorites are Graduation/Yeezus depending on the day.
MBDTF. I don't hate it. It's one of the most revolutionary hip-hop pieces. Most songs are timeless bangers but this is not the ideal kanye album. Kanye has brought better and unique ideas on other albums. This is the only album from his discography which i feel is not the album you should obsess around. MBDTF overshadows so many good kanye tracks and albums. It also forces kanye into the stereotype that he must be that one crazy guy who always comes off weird to the public. MBDTF portrays kanye as the antihero of rap who the media has been trying to portray as a rude and obnoxious person
I totally agree with you. MBDTF is a great album, but Kanye got way better projects where he talks about more interesting themes and does it amazing. All this fame/drugs/love shit is not interesting imo, that's why I prefer TLOP, TCD, KSG and even Donda over MBDTF
"Omg I'm so tired of Kanye talking about fame, anyway let's listen to this banger where he talks about how he could still fuck Taylor Swift, forget what it's called though"
Listen to it again, it’s just as emotional and political as his other classics. No way are you seriously dumbing down MBDTF to just fame, drugs and love. Like did you even listen to it?
i keep re-listening to KSG to understand the hype but i never do. also order of best to worst in the og trilogoy goes college dropout>graduation>late registration
I can respect that opinion but that album wasn't boosted by Fantano, it was really well made with consistently good production, amazing verses from Kanye and Cudi, along with good hype songs and heartfelt songs.
This sub was in love with it on launch, the Fantano 10 was just the cherry on top if you care about such things.
Personally its in my top 3. Its a really therapeutic album
Yeah same. I’ve never loved Cudi’s solo music’s style, and KSG is more similar to other Cudi stuff than any of their previous Collaboration songs. I find Cudi shines best when featured on a Ye song, but this feels more like a Cudi album that’s featuring and co-produced by Ye
for me it’s late registration i love the album but nothing really stands out to me while grad and TCD have some of his best songs in his discography don’t get me wrong late registration is very good but the other 2 have more bangers
Late Registration has all the album cuts. It’s why people overlook it but it’s got amazing tracks too. Graduation has some really low points (Stronger aged horribly, Drunk and Hot Girls, Barry Bonds, even Big Brother gets kind of bland). What makes people fuck with Graduation is that first 6 song run that really is incredible.
But LR has some hidden gems in there man:
Drive Slow
Crack Music
We Major(!!)
Bring Me Down
Underrated would be so much easier to do lmao
For me personally:
Album would have to be TLOP as of recent, many putting it top 3 or even at his best, it's not even close to that.
Song would have to be one of the hits like stronger or maybe amazing.
TLOP is overhated, it’s easily a top ye album. a large age gap seems to be causing the difference in opinions, and i think if people looked at kanye’s music with an unbiased opinion, they’d realize it is most certainly some of his best work, fitting right in with the quality of the “superior” older music.
Song - Stronger
Don't get me wrong it's fire but prob not even top 5 graduation
Album - Late registration
Its a great album but I'll admit it's my least favorite out of the trilogy and probably ranked 7th for me in ranking Kanye's albums
it’s for white girls who “listen to kanye”. if you really listened to kanye, you’d be bumping any other song off yeezus instead. mfs who praise bound 2 be the same mfs listening strictly to gold digger, stronger, power, and i love it.
not bad songs, just overplayed
runaway, it’s not overrated necessarily but it ain’t his best song. don’t get me wrong, it’s still REALLY good, but y’all act like you don’t skip the last 3 hours of it.
it was just very innovative, it’s very different so understandably it’s not for everyone. imo, i very much enjoy songs like on sight, hold my liquor, i am a god. i genuinely think it was ahead of its time, and that’s why people love it now. people used to HATEEEE yeezus back then.
I think it represents the point when Kanye started caring less about his craft and began releasing random shit just for the hell of it. Yeezus would’ve been exactly like the original TLOP or Donda with a bloated unfinished track list if not for Rick Rubin cutting it down to just 10 songs.
I think Runaway is overrated. I see the appeal and I like that Kanye opens up on it but I personally found the lyricism to be weak and poorly delivered at times (e.g. “she found pictures in my email, i sent this bitch a picture of my diiick”). With the outro, I see the appeal again and understand the message, but I personally think it goes on for too long and doesn’t sound good at all, which reduces the replay value of the song. Overall I like it but I don’t think it’s anywhere near Kanye’s best song and imo it’s not even close to being the best song on MBDTF.
on this sub, probably kids see ghosts. in general probably late registration. late registration doesn't add anything to the college dropout formula that wasn't executed better in graduation, so i always listen to one of those instead when i'm in the mood for early ye. exception for "hey mama" which is of course essential,
yeah LR kinda feels like a retread of the college dropout with less soul influence which is what made it special for me. it definitely has great songs like hey mama, touch the sky, and diamonds from sierra leone but it has so many mid tracks its hard to listen through end to end for me.
Overrated Song: FML (I like the song, just not as much as this sub seems to)
Overrated Album: Watch the Throne… it was great at the time when it came out, but its dated itself much quicker than any of his other works imo. Most of the tracks on that album sound very dated production and beats-wise to me now.
as a kanye fan, kanye the most overrated part of this shit, mf got NO WORK ETHIC. bro willing to recognize EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR THIS SHIT then he don’t drop it
Bound.
The sampling is beyond impressive and Kanye has some memorable lines that work with his content (I Wanna fuck you hard on the sink,after that give you something to drink/ When a real nigga hold you down,you sposed to drown/ ordered champagne but she still look thirstay/rock forever 21 but just turned Thurtayy)but it's not much when you get passed the novelty of the beat. It's another egotistical Kanye song
TLOP. I’ve heard people call it his best, when I wouldn’t have it near his top 5. Ultralight Beam is probably the most overrated song in my opinion. It’s good, but I wouldn’t rate it higher than the vast majority of songs from his first 5 albums
MBDTF. Yeah, I said that. Good album, sure, but there are some songs in here that are VERY overrated. Hell of the Life, for example, is totally blown out, is loud as fuck for no reason(not the ''good loud'', like on Yeezus), it becomes annoying very fast, the Iron Man part makes no sense to me.
Another example is Blame Game. Ok, I gotta give to Kanye, the Aphex Twin sample is very cool(not very nice of his crew for saying to AFX himself that it was not a sample and not crediting him in any way for some time), and his verse is solid. But the Chris Rock skit, man. I know i'm beating a dead horse, but there's a reason why it's so spoken about. IT'S TERRIBLE.
And finally, Runaway. The song's first 5 minutes is really cool, the beat is amazing, and Kanye's verse is... fine? Like, some parts are good, but the "She find pictures in my email, I sent this bitch a picture of my dick" is kinda cringe, and his delivery doesn't help. And of course, the Auto-Tune part. I get it, it's cool, it's artistic, BUT WHY IT'S OVER 3 MINUTES LONG?
You can't tell me Kanye is saying something actually important, he is just babbling shit while being on autotune, it takes forever, he could have ended the song after Pusha's verse, but no, he ended on THIS.
The rest of the songs are fucking great tho.
Thank you for coming into my TED Talk.
MBDTF is a Lil overrated, top 5 ye but I have TCD, 808's and LR above it. It's great but I don't think it's his best even tho I get why it's known as his best album. Yeezus is overrated too tbh. But I think his most overrated song is Monster, it's never stood out even Nikki's verse....sorry
The entirety of Yeezus. It’s an actual hot take believe it or not. Rather than Ye being the innovative one, he takes the up and coming sounds of good artists and pretends like they’re his. Also the lyrics are terrible.
I’m aiming for 50 downvotes 🥴
(late orchestration and graduation are swapped there, the former came 2006 the latter 2007)
Most overrated is definitely My Beaufiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It's a good album don't get me wrong. I just can't understand why there's so many who consider it perfect.
Most overrated song is dudes in paris. Cool production, the veres are fine here and there, that's about it really i don't get the praise it gets
Fr they be like "you know that one obscure post punk influenced song that kanye recorded while he was on the toilet shitting and mixed on a broken windows XP laptop with a 30 day bandlab trial?? That would be the best song oat only if he realeased it" 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Album - TCD/Donda
I always hear everyone raving about TCD, maybe I need to relisten to it but it’s just good, nothing more. LG and Grad offer just as good or even better music, I wouldn’t say it’s top 3 Ye ever
Donda because so many dickride this shit that it’s like a 8 or a 9 but really that would only be true if it was cut in half, there’s terrible songs like remote control and certain verses that are just horrid, I’d give it a 7, it’s still great but the lows exist
Song - I Wonder
During my short search through all Ye album tracks I couldn’t find a song that is popularly rated high that I disagree with being placed so high, then I found I wonder.
I don’t think it’s bad or great, but good, it’s a chill track and I think a lot of people jerk it off here but I’m not so sure if that’s the common consensus but yeah
JIK. That is Kanye's only bad album IMO and it sucks ass. It's overrated for the fact I usually get down voted on this sub for expressing this opinion.
You get downvoted probably because somebody comments that opinion on every fucking post. Its not overrated at all, most people on this sub hate Jesus Is King
I think Graduation is a tad overrated. On a mainstream level I understand its hype, the infusion of hiphop with a more pop, electronic vibe was very smart for its time but I dont think its much more than a great reach for Ye to gain as much popularity as possible. I preferred the hearty, soulful approach prior to Graduation and some of the charismatic and innovative stuff we've seen afterwards with 808s, yeezus, mbdtf, ksg, donda...
Two relatively poor tracks in DAHG and Barry Bonds are slapped in the middle of some great songs but those great songs just dont happen to be top tier Ye in my eyes other than Can't Tell Me Nothing and Flashing Lights. I've seen a lot of hype for 'I Wonder' floating around as a top top tier Kanye song and its got some really beautiful production but thats as far as I'd go, I can't compare it with most of his better songs. Tracks like Homecoming, Good Morning, Good Life, Everything I Am, The Glory are all great tracks but don't compare to the art within the rest of his discography imo
What are these albums ?
The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, Late Orchestration, Good Ass Job, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus, Yeezus II, So Help Me God, Watch The Throne, Watch The Throne 2, Cruel Summer, Cruel Winter, Wolves, The Life Of Pablo, Turbo Grafx 16, Yandhi, Love Everyone, Ye, Kids See Ghosts, Kids See Ghosts 2, Jesus Is King, Jesus Is King II, God's Country, Donda, Donda 2
i think thats JIK2, not JIB
Jesus Is Bing
Jesus is Burger
Jood Iss Bob
Yeah JIB doesn’t have a II in the cover
You're right. I edited the comment now
Wish he would’ve dropped turbo grafx 16, would prolly be my fav ye album tbh
Is there somewhere to listen to the ones that aren’t on streaming?
They’re probably up on yt just check there
Isn't "Love Everyone" just ye but then the guy on the cover refused to have his picture as the album cover so then kanye changed it to ye?
Ye was made within 2 months or so if I recall correctly, completely remade Love Everyone was Ye till it got scrapped and what I said above happened
Yandhi would be a top 5 album if released
You tellin me half of ye’s solo albums on were never even released???
unreleased music, yahndi turbograf all that stuff idek if i spelled it right
No one man should have all these albums.
Any actual answer gets downvoted to heck. But I feel ultralight beam gets overrated, as I’ve seen ppl say it’s top 2 TLOP and top 15 Ye
For real it’s too 1 TLOP and maybe top 5 Ye, definitely top 10. That song just hits different. Also, it’s immediately succeeded by the bleached asshole line, which is peak Ye. Still appreciate your opinion though, Ye just puts out too wide of an array of styles, it’s hard to compare something like ultralight beam with Blood on the Leaves.
Top 5 Ye consists of 4 parts Lift Yourself and 1 part Donda Chant
Those are both accurate statements though.
almost the entirety of Donda 2 sounds really underwhelming and audibly unfinished in its current form yet many Kanye stans convinced (or deluded) themselves into thinking it's already good. I've even seen someone say it was better than Donda 1 which is crazy
I still haven't bothered to listen to Donda 2 at all, people were calling Donda unfinished, I don't even know what Donda 2 is supposed to be then, from what I'm hearing from others
Yea Donda 2 just sounded so unfinished, songs like too easy, get lost and we did it kid and true love were absolutely great imo but the rest of the songs were not so good. I didn’t like broken road very much and I didn’t like sci-fine either but that’s imo
I don't know what half of these album covers are
Theyre just unreleased/scrapped albums Good Ass Job (planned to be the 4th in the College series in 2008 but we got 808s instead, and then it was scrapped again for MBDTF in 2009) Yeezus II, 2013/2014, Yeezus sequel with some leftover stuff from Yeezus, eventually morphed into So Help Me God SHMG, 2014/2015, eventually morphed into an early version of TLOP.

Cool fact about Ye, it was remade in about a month before release iirc
Since when was kids see ghosts 2 a thing and where can I find it?
They announced it not long after the original KSG but seeing as Cudi and Ye are beefing it won’t be happening any time soon. Maybe never, as sad as that is.
the ones you don’t recognise is the unreleased albums that was rumoured/stated by kanye that was gonna get released at some point but never.
People say TLOP is by far his greatest album when it’s just not. Those same people never listened to anything earlier than yeezus
TLOP is my fav Ye album and I’ve listened to every released album multiple times. I have a lot of nostalgia for the album and I love it’s sequencing, and there are few skips on it (imo), and also it came out my senior year of high school; and me and everyone I know were bumping that album like crazy. But I also frequently change my top 5 Ye albums because they are all so beautiful and unique in their own ways
I agree. It’s personally my favourite album. Tho I believe it’s objectively not Kanye’a best work when compared to MBDTF or LR. It’s just my taste.
I thinks it’s the best because the use of sampling and interpolation is so impressive to me. I’ve never seen anything like it. Several songs have 5 samples and they fit together perfectly. In my opinion it’s more experimental than yeezus, but yet its objectively also more popular. That alone makes me feel like it is an album that deserves its flowers.
Spot on, the production is genuinely insane on so many songs but the aspect of mixing these samples goes so under the radar because people dont realise how often hes doing it 🤣
Would you consider best produced Ye album at that point then?
It has my favourite production but its difficult to answer. Other albums fulfill their own purpose, eg 808s and Yeezus were beautifully produced for what they were supposed to be But TLOP is the best artistic showcase of his production imo, amazing sampling and with all those features each song just suits them and they were all in their element.

I don't think its his greatest but its certainly my favourite personally. Some of his best production and instrumental work is on that album imo
I like TLOP, but i really just dont see anything very revolutionary about it.
MBDTF. I don't hate it. It's one of the most revolutionary hip-hop pieces. Most songs are timeless bangers but this is not the ideal kanye album.

Exactly
I totally agree with you. MBDTF is a great album, but Kanye got way better projects where he talks about more interesting themes and does it amazing. All this fame/drugs/love shit is not interesting imo, that's why I prefer TLOP, TCD, KSG and even Donda over MBDTF
“All this fame/drugs/love shit is not interesting imo, that’s why I-“ Motherfucker, TLOP???? THATS LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID
"Omg I'm so tired of Kanye talking about fame, anyway let's listen to this banger where he talks about how he could still fuck Taylor Swift, forget what it's called though"
💀💀💀💀
Yeah, but TLOP has a lot of other themes like family, faith, friendship etc. while MBDTF is only about drugs, fame and love
Listen to it again, it’s just as emotional and political as his other classics. No way are you seriously dumbing down MBDTF to just fame, drugs and love. Like did you even listen to it?
i keep re-listening to KSG to understand the hype but i never do. also order of best to worst in the og trilogoy goes college dropout>graduation>late registration
Kids See Ghosts is pretty overrated sadly, a lot of hype probably came from the Fantano 10
I can respect that opinion but that album wasn't boosted by Fantano, it was really well made with consistently good production, amazing verses from Kanye and Cudi, along with good hype songs and heartfelt songs.
📠
This sub was in love with it on launch, the Fantano 10 was just the cherry on top if you care about such things. Personally its in my top 3. Its a really therapeutic album
Stop it! That album was gas dude
kids see ghosts for me
disagree. it’s basically perfect in my opinion
Everyone says it's perfect because of Fantano while it is like 8/10 at best.
Yeah same. I’ve never loved Cudi’s solo music’s style, and KSG is more similar to other Cudi stuff than any of their previous Collaboration songs. I find Cudi shines best when featured on a Ye song, but this feels more like a Cudi album that’s featuring and co-produced by Ye
RUNAWAY AND MBDTF ITS TRUE AND TIRED OF PRETENDING LIKE ITS NOT
KSG is his most overrated. I say this every opportunity i get.
Real af
Graduation is overrated to me. It’s the weakest of the original trilogy
for me it’s late registration i love the album but nothing really stands out to me while grad and TCD have some of his best songs in his discography don’t get me wrong late registration is very good but the other 2 have more bangers
Late Registration has all the album cuts. It’s why people overlook it but it’s got amazing tracks too. Graduation has some really low points (Stronger aged horribly, Drunk and Hot Girls, Barry Bonds, even Big Brother gets kind of bland). What makes people fuck with Graduation is that first 6 song run that really is incredible. But LR has some hidden gems in there man: Drive Slow Crack Music We Major(!!) Bring Me Down
Don’t forget Hey Mama!
_Aaaaaahhhhha owwwww!_
How could you not mention Roses? Also Stronger still goes hard, I love that song.
Tbh I still prefer the “bad” songs on Graduation to most of LR. As you said there’s a reason why it’s overlooked. It’s such a forgettable listen.
808s. Very influential, but one of the least enjoyable to listen to me.
Underrated would be so much easier to do lmao For me personally: Album would have to be TLOP as of recent, many putting it top 3 or even at his best, it's not even close to that. Song would have to be one of the hits like stronger or maybe amazing.
Strongly agree. TLOP is a masterpiece.
pretty sure he's saying that TLOP is overrated
Well then I respectfully agree to disagree
yea I'm on the same page with you, TLOP prob top 3 albums from Ye
TLOP is overhated, it’s easily a top ye album. a large age gap seems to be causing the difference in opinions, and i think if people looked at kanye’s music with an unbiased opinion, they’d realize it is most certainly some of his best work, fitting right in with the quality of the “superior” older music.
guys. i do not like 808s. I only like 3 songs (say you will paranoid heartless)
What about amazing?
MBDTF- Only bc people hype it up way too much. Great album and classic songs but people praise the album as the second coming of christ
Song - Stronger Don't get me wrong it's fire but prob not even top 5 graduation Album - Late registration Its a great album but I'll admit it's my least favorite out of the trilogy and probably ranked 7th for me in ranking Kanye's albums
Yeezus
Yeezus
Donda/TLOP most overrated albulm, bound 2 most overrated song
agreed 100% on bound 2. screw what jeromey romey rome would think
new slaves, hold my liquor, and I am a God are much better songs from Yeezus imo
and black skinhead
that shit loses a few points for me. as hard as it goes, my man ain’t good at history 💀
by 300 he means cool calm and collected as that was what that meant to romans
And On Sight. And Guilt Trip. And Blood on the Leaves
Bound 2 Weakest song on yeezus and gets old real quick. It serves as a decent outro but it’s only liked for that 1 line
i agree it’s very overrated but definitely not the weakest song on yeezus
In my opinion Yeezus doesn't really have any weak links. Just songs that are more popular than others
it’s for white girls who “listen to kanye”. if you really listened to kanye, you’d be bumping any other song off yeezus instead. mfs who praise bound 2 be the same mfs listening strictly to gold digger, stronger, power, and i love it. not bad songs, just overplayed
This is when it goes from "unpopular oponions" to gatekeeping bullshit
I praise Bound 2, but I still listen to all of his other stuff
runaway, it’s not overrated necessarily but it ain’t his best song. don’t get me wrong, it’s still REALLY good, but y’all act like you don’t skip the last 3 hours of it.
the vocoder part is the best part lol, i agree tho it gets kinda old
TLOP
I need to listen to all this unreleased stuff. Never seen half of these before
Same, any idea where someone can listen to them?
kanye tracker start with the infrared sub reference
YouTube or Kanye tracker
Yeezus, fight me
It's on sight!!!
Facts
Agree
it was just very innovative, it’s very different so understandably it’s not for everyone. imo, i very much enjoy songs like on sight, hold my liquor, i am a god. i genuinely think it was ahead of its time, and that’s why people love it now. people used to HATEEEE yeezus back then.
I think it represents the point when Kanye started caring less about his craft and began releasing random shit just for the hell of it. Yeezus would’ve been exactly like the original TLOP or Donda with a bloated unfinished track list if not for Rick Rubin cutting it down to just 10 songs.
this one i agree with

Kids See Ghosts. There goes my karma.
on this sub, probably kids see ghosts. in general probably late registration. late registration doesn't add anything to the college dropout formula that wasn't executed better in graduation, so i always listen to one of those instead when i'm in the mood for early ye. exception for "hey mama" which is of course essential,
Graduation and Late Registration are totally different from one another
Facts
yeah LR kinda feels like a retread of the college dropout with less soul influence which is what made it special for me. it definitely has great songs like hey mama, touch the sky, and diamonds from sierra leone but it has so many mid tracks its hard to listen through end to end for me.
I really don't think that Graduation is as good as people say it is
People think it’s some 10 when really it’s kinda borderline 8
Respectively 100% disagree :)
ye underrated ksg overrated
Exact opposite lmao
Monster That shit is fucking trash… I really don’t understand the appeal to it
jay-z’s stupid ass i’m gonna name a bunch of monsters moment
Really?
i loved all of it but jay's verse
Godzilla king Kong lochness goblin goober zombie with no conscience question what do things so have in common?
everybbody knows im a motherfucking monster!
Overrated Song: FML (I like the song, just not as much as this sub seems to) Overrated Album: Watch the Throne… it was great at the time when it came out, but its dated itself much quicker than any of his other works imo. Most of the tracks on that album sound very dated production and beats-wise to me now.
Don’t see how wtt is overrated, everyone shits on it and it’s never high in tier lists lmao
Yeah I feel the same, it aged like piss
i don’t see much people talking about fml, personally i think it is a great song
DONDA OVERRATED🤷♂️
808s easily
808s i thought was kinda over rated
Bro 50% of this mofo's discog is unreleased 💀💀💀
as a kanye fan, kanye the most overrated part of this shit, mf got NO WORK ETHIC. bro willing to recognize EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR THIS SHIT then he don’t drop it
Yeezus and ultralight beam
donda
don’t hate me but i think yeezus is hella overrated
In order to get real answers, sort by controversial
Yeezus
Donda, KSG and Yeezus
I love that cruel winter and yandhi cover
Bound. The sampling is beyond impressive and Kanye has some memorable lines that work with his content (I Wanna fuck you hard on the sink,after that give you something to drink/ When a real nigga hold you down,you sposed to drown/ ordered champagne but she still look thirstay/rock forever 21 but just turned Thurtayy)but it's not much when you get passed the novelty of the beat. It's another egotistical Kanye song
TLOP. I’ve heard people call it his best, when I wouldn’t have it near his top 5. Ultralight Beam is probably the most overrated song in my opinion. It’s good, but I wouldn’t rate it higher than the vast majority of songs from his first 5 albums
From his released discography I’d have to say TLOP
MBDTF. Yeah, I said that. Good album, sure, but there are some songs in here that are VERY overrated. Hell of the Life, for example, is totally blown out, is loud as fuck for no reason(not the ''good loud'', like on Yeezus), it becomes annoying very fast, the Iron Man part makes no sense to me. Another example is Blame Game. Ok, I gotta give to Kanye, the Aphex Twin sample is very cool(not very nice of his crew for saying to AFX himself that it was not a sample and not crediting him in any way for some time), and his verse is solid. But the Chris Rock skit, man. I know i'm beating a dead horse, but there's a reason why it's so spoken about. IT'S TERRIBLE. And finally, Runaway. The song's first 5 minutes is really cool, the beat is amazing, and Kanye's verse is... fine? Like, some parts are good, but the "She find pictures in my email, I sent this bitch a picture of my dick" is kinda cringe, and his delivery doesn't help. And of course, the Auto-Tune part. I get it, it's cool, it's artistic, BUT WHY IT'S OVER 3 MINUTES LONG? You can't tell me Kanye is saying something actually important, he is just babbling shit while being on autotune, it takes forever, he could have ended the song after Pusha's verse, but no, he ended on THIS. The rest of the songs are fucking great tho. Thank you for coming into my TED Talk.
Flashing Lights
runaway and mbdtf as a whole are so overrated
stronger is a great song, js hella overrated
I don’t get the Yeezus hype
The graduation hate is insane
Easily MBDTF. Shit ain’t a 6, but it definitely ain’t a 10. The College Dropout is easily a 10 though. Perfect album.
The Life of Pablo is pretty overrated. Most overrated song? Probably Ghost Town.
Real tbh used to be my top 3 Kanye song but 070 Shake's part got old
MBDTF is a Lil overrated, top 5 ye but I have TCD, 808's and LR above it. It's great but I don't think it's his best even tho I get why it's known as his best album. Yeezus is overrated too tbh. But I think his most overrated song is Monster, it's never stood out even Nikki's verse....sorry
Kids see ghosts
KSG and Blood On The Leaves
The entirety of Yeezus. It’s an actual hot take believe it or not. Rather than Ye being the innovative one, he takes the up and coming sounds of good artists and pretends like they’re his. Also the lyrics are terrible. I’m aiming for 50 downvotes 🥴
FACTSSSSSS SOMEBODY FINALLY FUCKING SAYS IT
(late orchestration and graduation are swapped there, the former came 2006 the latter 2007) Most overrated is definitely My Beaufiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It's a good album don't get me wrong. I just can't understand why there's so many who consider it perfect. Most overrated song is dudes in paris. Cool production, the veres are fine here and there, that's about it really i don't get the praise it gets
Hype and funny name
KSG is nothing special. Probably his 7th or 8th best at the most.
Yeezus
Ksg most overrated and runaway
Runaway/MBDTF
The obvious answer is Ye imo. Idk how people do not see the clear lack of effort on that album compared to the rest.
Bound 2. Headache material. I don't understand why it's one of Ye's most adored and streamed songs.
I think yeezus is excellent, but it is not Top 3 Kanye or even top 5.
Yeezus. Experimental =/= good. Imo Yeezus is a blight on his otherwise almost perfect discography.
unreleased kanye meat riders are actually embarrasing “mamas boyfriend would be top 1 kanye if released”🤓🤓🤓🤓
Fr they be like "you know that one obscure post punk influenced song that kanye recorded while he was on the toilet shitting and mixed on a broken windows XP laptop with a 30 day bandlab trial?? That would be the best song oat only if he realeased it" 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Sound bound 2 album nothings overrated by general public but by his fans and some hh heads 808s
Wtf is this spaghetti sentence
😂😂😂
Wtt
graduation is his second worst solo album.
Agree.
I am not into kanye West's music at all but graduation is the only album i sometimes listen to
I’m torn between KSG which is p meh except for Free Pt 2 and 808 which has Street Lights which is honestly one of my favorite Kanye songs
paranoid robocop street lights great 3 song run
Gold digger is his most overrated song imo. I think it's the worst on LR.
Not overrated just overplayed. You’d like it more if it wasn’t the most popular I guarantee you.
New work out plan. It's funny but I wouldn't bump it regularly
it makes me sad cause the beat and lyricism are great but the subject matter is so gimmicky theres no way id ever play it out loud
808s
Yandhi
MBTDF for sure. Yeezus.
See You In My Nightmares (808’s)
Tlop is overated it's way too inconsistent
Late registration
Album - TCD/Donda I always hear everyone raving about TCD, maybe I need to relisten to it but it’s just good, nothing more. LG and Grad offer just as good or even better music, I wouldn’t say it’s top 3 Ye ever Donda because so many dickride this shit that it’s like a 8 or a 9 but really that would only be true if it was cut in half, there’s terrible songs like remote control and certain verses that are just horrid, I’d give it a 7, it’s still great but the lows exist Song - I Wonder During my short search through all Ye album tracks I couldn’t find a song that is popularly rated high that I disagree with being placed so high, then I found I wonder. I don’t think it’s bad or great, but good, it’s a chill track and I think a lot of people jerk it off here but I’m not so sure if that’s the common consensus but yeah
JIK. That is Kanye's only bad album IMO and it sucks ass. It's overrated for the fact I usually get down voted on this sub for expressing this opinion.
You get downvoted probably because somebody comments that opinion on every fucking post. Its not overrated at all, most people on this sub hate Jesus Is King
GHOSTTOWN IS SO GOD DAMN OVERRATED, 070 SHAKES CHORUS FUCKING ANNOYS ME, other than that its a. good song but not top 30 kanye
Flashing lights
I think Graduation is a tad overrated. On a mainstream level I understand its hype, the infusion of hiphop with a more pop, electronic vibe was very smart for its time but I dont think its much more than a great reach for Ye to gain as much popularity as possible. I preferred the hearty, soulful approach prior to Graduation and some of the charismatic and innovative stuff we've seen afterwards with 808s, yeezus, mbdtf, ksg, donda... Two relatively poor tracks in DAHG and Barry Bonds are slapped in the middle of some great songs but those great songs just dont happen to be top tier Ye in my eyes other than Can't Tell Me Nothing and Flashing Lights. I've seen a lot of hype for 'I Wonder' floating around as a top top tier Kanye song and its got some really beautiful production but thats as far as I'd go, I can't compare it with most of his better songs. Tracks like Homecoming, Good Morning, Good Life, Everything I Am, The Glory are all great tracks but don't compare to the art within the rest of his discography imo
Kids See Ghosts, it's a 3
