The Buttercream variant for Summertime '06 looks beautiful! It matches the album cover perfectly! Omg, I absolutely love my Young Thug Jeffery! The blue marble on that one looks so nice too! Shoutout again to @Hunna for selling me the VMP Young Thug
I don't know if I would agree with those results necessarily, but you're right, I wouldn't be surprised by them as the most popular.
Yeah, for sure. I like both, but sometimes it is hard to compare them against each other for that reason.
Nope! The College Dropout is my favourite Kanye West Album and I think it is his best, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (MBDTF) is regarded as his best! I remember they did a poll, and MBDTF actually easy came out on top!
Huh, interesting. His first two I’d consider absolute masterpieces. MBDTF is incredibly ambitious and admirable in its own right but it’s not my favorite. I’d rank Graduation and Life of Pablo over it. I have a weird love for Life of Pablo I think.
I always thought it was a common consensus that Thing Fall Apart was their best record.
I also really like The Life of Pablo! The singles/main tracks from that album are all exceptional; Ultralight Beam, Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1, Famous, Real Friends, No More Parties In LA, & Fade! Those tracks are just incredible and I still get goosebumps hearing the instrumental on the last part of FML!
I do, yeah, but I’m guessing it depends on when you got into them. Do you want more And Illadelph halflife were the absolute hottest cutting edge shit when they came out. After that, that cutting edge factor was slightly reduced. The hype was bigger than ever during the lead up to Things Fall Apart but it was generally considered a let down to those early fans even. Their maturity and musicianship increased for sure after those early albums but they became a little more cerebral maybe, and less hit you in the guts hot. If you discovered them later on the cutting edge factor of their early albums might not translate to the times you were living in then. So I guess nostalgia is part of it but I honestly don’t know anyone who doesn’t see those as the top two, not that my circle worldwide or anything lol
Same here!
Yeah those are all great. Waves always gets me too. It’s just.... so beautiful. It’s one of my favorite Kanye songs.I also really like The Life of Pablo! The singles/main tracks from that album are all exceptional; Ultralight Beam, Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1, Famous, Real Friends, No More Parties In LA, & Fade! Those tracks are just incredible and I still get goosebumps hearing the instrumental on the last part of FML!
No I really don’t agree. For the same reasons that I mentioned up above about the roots. If you were a Kanye fan from the start you probably prefer college dropout or late registration. If you came into kanye after that of course you can objectively see that MBDTF is the best!
I totally get where you're coming from and I know that some original fans felt that way about Things Fall Apart, but I don't think it holds true for popular opinion anymore since their fanbase has grown way beyond that. I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong for picking them or anything. I think Do You Want More is actually underappreciated these days, if you look at RYM for instance. That's why I was surprised to see you say that most people would agree.
I don't think it's his best album but most Kanye West fans do think it is. If we asked Kanye West fans who were fans from the start, then I agree that we would probably get The College Dropout or Late Registration being #1. But for now, MBDTF easily ranks as the #1 Kanye West favourite album amongst all Kanye fans.
I've seen a sort of dichotomy where a certain kind of hip hop head will definitely hold that one as the number one and say Things Fall Apart is overrated, but I think the popular opinion choice is Things Fall Apart, if you know what I mean. I think they're both wonderful records myself.I always thought everyone though Illadeplh Halflife was their best record
I would rather listen to The College Dropout on the regular it’s my favorite but it isn’t his best or most important.
Yes, RateYourMusic is a great source! Things Fall Apart has more than 7,000 ratings and holds the highest score for any The Roots album! Things Fall Apart would definitely be considered The Roots' best album amongst most of The Roots fans! No other The Roots album has over 4,000 ratings on RateYourMusic! And Things Fall Apart has 7,000+
A lot of people love that album and think it's their best, but more people think Things Fall Apart is their best record!I always thought everyone though Illadeplh Halflife was their best record
I mean personally I'm not trying to argue which is better. Depending on the day, I'd probably pick different ones. I think there is definitely a respectable argument that Illadelph is better. But, we were just talking popular opinion.
