There are moments on WTT where I feel he took the Graduation sound to the next level. Lift Off's beat for example. I mean it's peak luxury Kanye beats.
I've relistened to WTT way more than I've ever relistened to Grad or TLOP.
That’s fair, the highs on WTT are great.
It’s cringe to you but meaningful to those who are religious.
It’s a small prayer, I like it a lot.
I mean if the prayer sounded like Kirk Franklins prayer on ULB id mess with it more too. His prayer on water is super surface level and he sounds bored saying it, imo
Yeezus the only album i can play without skipping
just might be my top 1
What do you skip on Fantasy?
How? Lol
It’s literally facts.
you did not have to be a gangster to be a rapper. that just isn’t true
I wonder what Pitchfork will give it.
Very bad
They’re already mad there weren’t enough women in the album.
That’s fair, the highs on WTT are great.
Only thing I don't like about WTT was Kanye's insistence on sampling dubstep multiple times near the end. That aged horribly and single handedly keeps it from classic status
I love Watch The Throne...Hov the GOAT but he gotta thank Kanye for letting him get on that album lol

Lmao that’s how people pray tho
Ranking Kanye albums is such a pointless exercise for me personally because it entirely depends on the situation
That's what I feel too but if there's one thing I'm sure about it's that LR won't leave my top 2
I get it from that perspective too you’re right
I just think sound wise 808s is more influential for almost everything out now
Yeah for this generation yeah.
TCD is even more influential and impactful.

WTT would be a straight classic without HOV

facts he should’ve put some of the bonus tracks over those dub steppy songs
Yeah for this generation yeah.
TCD is even more influential and impactful.
It’s wild he got 2 albums that shaped the game to what it is now
here’s a list of all of kanye’s albums that aren’t 10/10 classics:
ye
JIK too
Went from one in 4 to one in 3
is a beautiful line but still kinda heartbreaking that every third black person is in jail
Lmao that’s how people pray tho
Yeah but it doesn’t make for an interesting listen. Kirk Franklins prayer sounds inspiring and emotional even if you aren’t religious. Kanyes on water just sounds like he couldn’t think of anything to say on the song so he just went with whatever.
Idk where he recorded it, you can hear a lady saying “yeah!” Or something right as he finishes
