A really disappointing follow-up to one of Kanye's most detailed, and intimate albums, MBDTF, and saw Kanye try to pull off a new envelope-pushing trend, that promoted abstract hip-hop artists like Death Grips, and clipping, and Kanye saw this opportunity and seized to try and craft something that was marketed as being unconventional, and hard to listen to. But honestly, upon listening to it nearly 15 times now, the intro track still feels a bit underwhelming, and the mix sounds cheap. I think ... read more
Yes, “ye” is really one of Kanye's most catchy, yet meaningful records of his discography. He doesn't necessarily take an experimental venture, nor does he craft memorable ballads on this album, but I think that's what makes this album so admirable for me. It's a bit unpredictable for him to not make an album not designed to either be influential, impactful, or at least envelope-pushing in some way. So many fans were disappointed with this record for not being as definitive as it ... read more
When it was released, it was overlooked as being soulless autotuned nonsense, and it's not hard to see why.

Graduation is the 3rd and final part of Kanye's trilogy following this college narrative of his school-themed trilogy that he started off with TCD, then continued with LR, and now this album marked to finish to that. With the album title though, I felt it destroyed the narratives of the preceding releases, and caused a bit of a minor inconsistency with the tropes painted in Kanye's music before. That being said, the album hosts some of Kanye's biggest hits like Stronger, and sees him delve in a ... read more
Late Registration saw Kanye write the sequel to his debut album that solidified his career into the industry, The College Dropout, and it was a good example of where the sequel manages to retain the quality and attributes of its predecessor, and expand on its themes, in a clever, and creative way. The album saw Kanye using more features from a wider range of genres, and also is home to his biggest hit to date, Gold Digger. It also has some of Kanye's most emotional, vulnerable songs like the ... read more
