MBDTF and Yeezus is the sweet spot for me, I love how those records stand on their own and work as a pair that complement each other. The two culminating in "I know you're tired of loving, of loving with nobody to love" is one of my favorite moments in the Ye discography. I liked TLOP a lot when it came out but now that some time has passed, I think it's pretty clearly his weakest since at least Graduation (which isn't a bad record, 808s was just a gigantic step forward). 0 excitement for the new record based on what it's most likely gonna be about and how bad Ye vs. The People is.
always love the shift from "fuck kanye" to "let's talk about his genius". comes in waves (don't make the joke)
i was just stating a fact? that's the trend this thread has gone not questioning anyone's intentions but the trends are odd
TLOP is A+ all the way through Frank's Track, and the bonus tracks vary in quality from good to great
Taking the "many people don't know about this" right out the Trump playbook What will Kanye discover next? My money's on Andrew Jackson owned slaves
I never understood the appeal of TLOP. I enjoyed Ultralight Beam, Famous, Real Friends and Fade. I'm fine never hearing the rest ever again. I think 808s-MBDTF-Yeezus is his greatest run.
I think my run with Kanye ends with "Yeezus." TLOP is too tied now to Kanye's descent into madness/Trump-ism, starting with his obsession with Taylor Swift, Amber Rose and the "Famous" video.
