Let's be real, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is Kanye's best album.

[remi23]

I think people don't know the definition of classic.

 

[antidope]

Grauduation sucked says the Jay-Z stan wow I've heard it all

How are these two things related, its not like Jay-Z made graduation. Bringing up my opinions on Jay-Z in a KanYe West thread is totally irrelevant

Yeah whatever everyone knows how you hold Jay-Z's hand all the time. So why did Graduation suck explain?

 

[antidope]

In the case of Graduation it's simple, the album is bad because the majority of the songs are bad. Can't Tell Me Nothing, I Wonder,Homecoming, and Big Brother are the only good songs on it, everything else is subpar or flat out terrible.

 

[8pm at msg]

I personally feel it's overrated.

 

[danger style]

Its definitely overrated with all the industry love it got at the time of its release and all the album of the year awards also. Still a good album though, but i would rank it below CD, LR, and Graduation.

Calling it one of the worst albums ever made though? Geez

 

[water]

I personally feel it's overrated.

Same. I like it, but its not that great. 

 

[frankthetank]

Classic? I don't think we can categorize it just yet, being that its only been out for a few years. But definitely a good album.

For me College Dropout had to be his best work to this day, and 808 is second.

 

[cash money 1999]

graduation is by far his best work in my opinion , if i had to rank them

1.graduation

2.college dropout

3.late registration

and those are the only ones worth ranking , but if you like name dropping designer brands

and over the top featurings then i guess i can see why you like the album

it honestly barely feels like an albums , its a little all over the place

 

[tonydelfreshco]

808s is his most complete heartfelt album... MBDTF was raved about commercially but its def not a classic.. i personally dont see people 5 years from now talking about how good it is.. if you think about it only albums from kanye people revisit is college drop out and 808s... sooo idk... its alright but def not a classic

 

[king milaac]

Music critics and hipsters like to call it his best work. His Sgt Peppers of you will. I'd have to agree. College Dropout was fresh and full of energy and promise, a great album, but not as strong as MBDTF. LR was a great album but a little overdone, every song had intense production, but sometimes simple is better, IMO LR was a little over produced. 808 is a niche album. For me it would be between Graduation and MBDTF, it really just depends on my mood. I'd have to give it to MBDTF in the end though. However, Graduation is his best work when performed live, MBDTF better in my headphones, just depends, at the end of the day though, when a single artist can give you all that, that's legendary. 

 

[510thanos]

kanye had about 25 guest features on all the lights

 

[thatdudechris]

CD on soul and lyrics, LR on production, Graduation on mainstream appeal, 808's is his best executed themed album, MBDTF is a mix of all.

I wouldnt say MBDTF is any more classic than his other albums, they all just play to different elements and audiences.

personally I like them all for different reasons but as far as playback value.
CD>LR>MBDTF>808's>Graduation

 

[remi23]

People really rocking with 808s I personally didn't like it because of all the autotune but that was five years ago and I'm going to listen to it again because my take on music is different now. Well I don't know because I still despise autotune. 808s did have a great theme though.

 

[cash money 1999]

Pretty much how I feel. That autotune was terrible

 

[Peep Game]

Please, this overblown over-produced mess is lucky to even be better than 808s.

 

[rocman23]

i actually like 808's over this

 

[dat dude chris]

I agree.

But MBDTF is a really good album.

His best album is LR

 

[kevjuice7269]

College Dropout because he came hard on that one because that was his first LP and thats just me

 

[MajinZuub]

No way in hell it's a classic, it's good but not classic good.

Late Registration>

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

HELL NO.

Never understood the hype around it, it was "cool" but classic? Nah. LR is his best work with CD a strong 2nd.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

This album is tied with "Graduation" for his best bodies of work. I can respectfully agree with OP on this one.
