So… this Deluxe is pretty great I‘d say, the Songs feel like they belong on this project and make it feel like a fully complete experience. My favorite deluxe Song is wildflower garden in technicolor, this in general is just an amazing instrumental that feels so relaxing and peaceful to listen to. Overall i‘d say this feels like the start of something special, if you could get someone to perform on your instrumentals in general I firmly believe that it would turn out to be a ... read more

Since I can’t rate the individual tracks I will do it here:
Chakras (100) - honestly one of my favorite Kanye Songs and maybe the most hype song I ever heard (Selah is a huge downgrade tho)
Calm Before The Storm (85) - just a nice prelude to the storm
The Storm (90) - if it wasn’t for the XXXtentacion it would probably be a 98, it is still an incredible Song
Spread Your Wings (85) - I can’t ... read more
Thank you for recommending @Khaidar
This Rating isn’t really consistent with my other ratings because it’s an instrumental EP, but this really surprised me in a positive way, I didn’t expect that much because it was randomly recommended to me but since it was just 17 minutes I thought “why not“. And this EP is really good, the beats remind me of J Dilla and old Kanye, something which I love, especially yesterday reminded me of J Dilla, since it uses just a sample ... read more
This Album was made during a turbulent time of Kanye West‘s life, after his smash hit Graduation, it seemed like nothing could go wrong. This however could not have been further from the truth, because shortly after the release of the album’s release his mother, Donda West died because of a malfunction during a surgery, for which Kanye blamed himself. On top of that he them broke up with his then fiancée Alexis Phifer. His emotional state during that time is what created 808s ... read more
Graduation is Kanye West creating a record that is more accessible for the mainstream audience to consume, this makes Graduation a perfect starting point for Hip Hop, even today. The production of this record swichtes from Soul samples to synthesizers, although the leap from one to the other is as big as his Ego, he pulls it off and creates an album that creates an incredible listening experience. the whole album shows why kanye was the best to do it at the time and maybe ever, with the ... read more
Kanye West releases his sophomore album and proves that his first album wasn´t just sheer luck, this album leans more towards an orchestral feeling, while still inhabiting the core ideas that made The College Dropout so great. Kanye further refines his rapping ability with songs like both versions of Diamonds From Sierra Leone and Touch the Sky, while also showing his vulnerable side with the emotional masterpiece that is Hey Mama, a beautiful anthem of appreciation for his Mother. ... read more
This album definitely feels like a step in the right direction for Ye, the first 10 Songs were pretty good, the production carries the whole project, that is pretty obvious, although he has some nice performances on Father and Whatever Works the production comes out as the clear MVP of the album. The prodction somewhat reminds me of an earlier Kanye, which is always welcomed. But the Album falls apart after Highs and Lows, with the average song quality dropping from an 7,5-8/10 to a 5/10, even ... read more
This is honestly my favorite album oat, and the album that first got me into Artists like Kanye, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Common, Nas and so much more. so it holds a very special place in my heart, on top of that it features what I believe to be the best production I have ever witnessed, the lyrics are funny, deep and relatable much in contrast to the lyrical contect of popular artists of that same generation. Songs like Spaceship, Family Business and Last Call got me ascending, and how could you forget ... read more
