1. Everyone on here is obviously not a Kanye fan ? 
2. For those who are, your list is absolute shite. I'm almost wondering was this a troll attempt. 

1. College Dropout 
2. Graduation 
3. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 
4. Late Registration 



5. 808s and Heartbreak


I'd switch Late Registration and Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but you're otherwise dead on. Kanye fell off a cliff after Watch the Throne. Yeezus is a disaster and Life of Pablo does very little for me.

Kanye needs to get it together. His initial work was incredible when you add in the production. It was fun too. He'd drop lines like having a dark skinned girl who looked like Michael Jackson and a light skinned girl who looked like Michael Jackson. He stopped being fun and funny on 808's.

College Dropout is hands down his best. Everything else he put out was garbage. And it isn't even in your top 5. This list sucks.

I only like pre-Graduation Kanye.. before he went insane.

This is arse backward. His music has gotten progressively worse in the last three albums.

1a. Graduation
1b. Late Grad
1c. College Drop Out
2. Watch the Throne (Its a collab but his new stuff is garbage)

Pass on everything else

You clearly have never heard is OG stuff, through the wire, all falls down, breathe in breathe out, crack music, touch the sky, hey mama...I mean these are all off his first two albums and you don't even touch them...I am very triggered by your atrocious list.

4. Graduation
5. 808s

1-3 are all debatable for me and switch around constantly As people have said 808s is super underrated. Kanye has never put out a below average album in my opinion, even Yeezus was a bit ahead of its time.

Well, looks like Kanye's twittering about Trump was in service of what looks like the first single from his forthcoming album:

You're drunk. Yeezus is an absolutely stunning album. It's just fricking raw, industrial, no-fricks-to-give, in your face, anger and angst. It's incredible. I don't know if it's just where Ye was when he recorded or if Rick Rubin pulled the darkness of out of him, perhaps a combination of both, but that album is harder than anything Kanye has ever put out or ever will put out.
