Not a terrible mixtape, but disappointing considering the hype behind Future after two albums with Metro Boomin. Wish there were some features on this project and some questionable production choices, but overall only a few bad tracks with most of the tracks being solid listens.
BEST TRACKS: Ski, Brazzier, South Of France
WORST TRACK: Plutoski
Kanye's most personal album at the time. Only 7 tracks long, it covers a lot of ground in such a short runtime. The production proves to be stellar, and the album ages better each day. What a run in 2018 for Kanye West.
BEST TRACKS: No Mistakes, Ghost Town, Violent Crimes
WORST TRACK: Wouldn't Leave
This album has aged like fine wine. The clash of creativity and reality blend well on this project, with wild production choices and bipolar lyrical content. A first true look into the mind of Kanye West, and a representation of what a crazy genius really sounds like.
BEST TRACKS: Saint Pablo, No More Parties In LA, Waves
WORST TRACK: Low Lights
Another instance of Kanye influencing the next generation of hip-hop. Short and sweet, 10 tracks does just enough to make an impact on any listener with its futuristic production. Although it has become slightly overrated, it still is a great listen and arguably a classic among many.
BEST TRACKS: Blood On The Leaves, Bound 2, Guilt Trip
WORST TRACKS: I'm In It, Send It Up
A groundbreaking album at the time with two of the greatest rappers in history making an album together. However, the project has not aged the greatest, with a majority of the production sounding dated. Multiple songs are also a drag to get through, with them either being lyrically boring or just simply too long. The album still has bangers and was the first truly large collab album.
BEST TRACKS: Primetime, That's My Bitch, The Joy
WORST TRACKS: Who Gon Stop Me, H.A.M.
