Kanye

the two king's disease albums that nas has put out in the last two years are both significantly better than anything kanye has released under his own name in half a decade

of course, yeezy's production work remains on point - pusha t's daytona is one of the best hip-hop albums of the last decade

donda feels like demos

Jail is really bad, Remote Control is pretty good, and how dare you call the addition of The Lox unnecessary and worthless.

Other than that I mainly agree.

Yea Jesus Lord pt 2 is necessary. Also junya pt 2 is better imo. Other than that I'd say Praise God isn't great but the Baby Keem verse and auto tune part is dope as hell !!

And woob I love jail 😭😅

That Jay verse is very bad and that percussion breakdown at the end is so corny. I dont hate the guitar wail beat, just everything else they did with it

If that were the case he should’ve put those instead… like someone else mentioned they seem like additions to an extended version
Gahhh that auto tune 😅

I hear you on the intro, but I definitely like Heaven and Hell more than a 2/10. Pts 2s aren't unnecessary, but should have been edited to make the best songs out of the pt1s &2s. Agree mostly on the rest.
 
We need the uncensored version.
And when kanye gets over his religious phase he needs to come back and remix some of these gems
 
I would say Pt 2 > original in every case except Jesus Lord

Jail - Best way I can put it is Jay-Z's verse feels like a song dampener on a firestarter intro. As for pt 2, Not going to get too deeply into separating art from artist or whatever but I will say that while I don't agree with DaBaby's train of thought in his defense of himself - he is fitting for the song. On the other hand, Manson feels forcibly tacked on and could have done without.

OK OK - because Shenseea 🔥🔥🔥. I'm also not really a Yachty fan.

Junya - Ty $ adds so much to this. The song doesn't really click with me but it's growing on me a little

Jesus Lord - Maybe the most controversial opinion of all these lol. Don't get me wrong, I love the Lox and didn't think they had weak verses or whatever (actually quite the opposite) but I thought the original was perfect. Adding 3 additional verses ruins the flow of the song a bit.

After listening to this a few times, I think the highlights of the album for me are Off The Grid, Hurricane, Believe What I Say, Moon, Keep My Spirit Alive, Come to Life, Jesus Lord. Jesus Lord being my favorite - its beautifully sincere imo.
 
A friend of mine suggested we come up with our favorite 15 Kanye songs and compare (joint albums like WTT and KSG count, but comp albums like Cruel Summer don't). It was a ton of fun and way harder than I thought it was going to be. I started by going through each album quickly and picking out my faves, which left me with 39 songs. Then I cut it down to 19. The last 3 cuts: Roses, Flashing Lights, and Blood On The Leaves were very hard to make.

I was pretty surprised at how different our lists ended up being. I had 8 albums represented, whereas he had 6. Anyone who's interested should try it and post your list here, as I'm curious how much of an overlap we'll all have. Here's what I ended up with:

I had a hard time cutting a few tracks, but it was generally an easy playlist to build. I tried to include one from every record, only had to cut WTT because Late Registration is so fuckin good
