Well they were definitely better than what we got

All of your answers are in this film. I've said for years this is the best way to understand what happened to Ye. Almost everything that happened to Ye happened to Daniel Johnston.

The Butthole Surfers = Whoever gave Ye 2cb
Laurie Allen - Kim
McDonalds - People that doubted Ye

I mean the quality of his albums started to decline with TLOP, the time were streaming really took off

The old Kanye we all loved has been gone since 2016 and he ain’t coming back unfortunately

I love the guy but he ain’t in a god spot mentally and the people around him

He’s a billionaire that doesn’t get told no

Same s*** happens every album cycle lmao

It should’ve been Dre but instead he had to hang out with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yabbadabbaopolis instead

Yeezus premium gas off vibes alone

He had a spark when he started but now

(Don’t take that seriously)

Not a billionaire

I believe he doesn't have the confidence / ego to trust his own judgement anymore. Making a record by committee was once a tool for Ye, now it's a crutch. He used to bring in the most exciting up and coming artists and mold them to his vision, giving us a whole new perspective on the artist and proving again that he was the GOAT producer. Now he lacks confidence and instead molds himself to the guest artists sound.

The confidence thing is prob 75% medication + 25% the weight gain from the medication.

He dropped dark twisted fantasy 3 years after & that’s arguably his best album. He was still able to make great music after her passing but the kardashian era changed him especially near the end pre divorce

his 04-16 run was unparalleled

don’t be sad because it’s over
be glad because it happened

It is

He’s as good as the company he has around. He went from rollin with the Rawkus records camp , to being with Hov and them, to the Donda crew to now just people that aren’t even as talented as him and are clout chasers. Having Virgil and Don around helped fuel his inspiration, dude doesn’t even sound inspired these days

yeah but he won’t listen to them lmaoo

Donda was amazing

hes mentally gone and thats it

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Father Time.

that vaccine f***ed him up

He released good albums for like 9 years, 12 years tops.

In his own words

The car crash made him autistic

idk, it's just that nowadays. to , me, it feels like a " Kanye song" has barely any kanye. It's like the beat has to play for a long ass time, then the hook is a guest hook, then he raps a little, then its a guest hook, guest bridge, guest verse, outro. Its like you could listen to a 4min " Kanye song" and hear 50 seconds of Kanye

this too

the last groundbreaking kanye album was yeezus IMO
