[CANTBANDASTROKEMAN]

Hard choice dude has put in work.
This thread just made me realize Ye is in my top 5.
Voted for Late Registration.

 

[sagelike]

Graduation was his best for me because that was before he started to experiment with his sound.

Don't mind the experimentation too much but it can be hit or miss.

[Count23]

late registration

 

[Crown&Coke]

Late Registration...after that my favorite was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy​

 

[SLY]

man, tough choice between Late Registration and MBDTF. I gotta go with Late Registration as it felt more genuine and soulful.

Kanye's got a fantastic body of work

 

[playahaitian]

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

just cause it was kinda a come back after all the Swift BS and sonically it was a throwback but sounded like NOTING else in hip hop...

very non-commerial

but Late Registration was outstanding and a classic...

makes you wonder which hip hop artist is actually capable of crafted a REAL ALBUM???

on that illmatic,blueprint , chronic, ready to die...vein.

 

[bubba2k5]

College Dropout!

 

[TheAlias]

Magnum opus (plural: magna opera, also opus magnum / opera magna), from the Latin meaning "great work",[1] refers to the largest, and perhaps the best, greatest, most popular, or most renowned achievement of a writer, artist, or composer.

 

[Rick Spanish]

Of what?

Rappers.


And fuck your opinion. Jay, Em, and Kanye are the most recognizable faces in the game, and deservedly so.



As for Kanye's albums...


Late Registration - Classic

College Dropout - Near Classic

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Hot Album

Graduation - Decent

808's and Heartbreak - Coaster

 

[the flash]

Damn I hit the wrong button I ment to chose late registration

Why you mad tho?

So just to be clear, you put him in your top 5 rappers of all time?

 

[Nemesis Prime]

"Graduation". i think "Flashing Lights" has the most plays ever on my iPod. I love that song...

 

[c_commander]

College Dropout.

It may be because it was such a surprise and revelation but it's the joint that I felt the most from him.

808's and Heartbreak = Coaster

Fuck outta here. That was an artist doing some different shit.

 

[TheAlias]

College Dropout.

It may be because it was such a surprise and revelation but it's the joint that I felt the most from him.

Same way I feel about MBDTF. The first major release after the death of his mother, the excessive fallout from the Taylor Swift incident and the Amber Rose breakup. As an artist that already has the fame and the fortune, he truly had full creative license on this one and he left it all in the booth. Oh and the depth of the production.....

MBDTF musically >>>>>>>

 

[D-TOWN REP]

I'm not that big of a Kanye fan but Late Registration was my shit

Had to vote for that and I see im not alone in favor of that album

 

[TEN]

Graduation is an exceptional album. Totally Excellent.

 

[P03t]

I say College Dropout which was my favorite Kanye albums...all of Kayne's albums (except 808) were great.....

 

[Mobilemannie]

Got to say College Drop out. I think I was in my Ying Yang Twins \ lil jon phase of music at that time. Pushed Kayne to the back for awhile. Was on my way to Kappa party with dude cross the hall from VA. He drove so I could not turn to something else. Listen for like 10 minutes and got hooked. Bought album next day.

 

[BDR]

late registration

 

[Duval's King]

He was spitting some real ass shit on college dropout..so that album is by far my favorite..

 

[gumbottoms]

I can never say anything wrong about Graduation. It dropped at a time where that whole album applied to my life in one way or another.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Graduation >> dark fantasty >>>>_____ >>>> the rest

 

[D-TOWN REP]

My Shit

 

[D-TOWN REP]
