No matter what your taste is people on Reddit will always call you a jackass. I actually somewhat agree with the list. Not totally but like it’s your taste so like go for it. Also love the Yeezus placement.
It’s not a good album. At all. Lyrically, it is totally vapid - he has absolutely nothing new, insightful, or even mildly interesting to say about Christianity or spirituality, or anything else on GIK. Some of beats are pretty good though, but it’s a D- of an album
Barry Bonds as well... only Big Brother is a skip, IMO... and sometimes I let it ride anyways.
But Barry Bonds?? Wheezy fkn kills it.
"We outta heahh baby..."
"Why i love you","Otis","no church in the wild","niggas in Paris","made in America","gotta have it","new day","welcome to the jungle"
There's lots of hits and good songs on that album just because they ain't hits don't mean they not good songs
I think my problem with WTT is that you just listed the only songs I really go back and bother playing. 2-4 of them are GREAT, but playing the album through is honestly annoying asf since it goes crazy 'gotta have it' down into sad or boring depths for no reason just to pop back up and go crazy for 1 song 2-3 tracks later in the list.
So it ends up feeling like 3-5 good or great songs, and 5+ mid or meh - which for ye is an objectively mediocre *album*
Like GKMC by Kendrick, 5 absolutely best songs in hip hop - shoulda been a EP because the other 4-6 are hot trash (in comparison). No one even actually plays that album, just the sequence of 4 (or 5?) hits and the swimming pools remix and goes onto something else. Ye albums are so good they're normally zero skips or 1-2 and they're probably skits or half skits 🤷🏼♂️ -WTT is an actual handful of skips not just 1-2 or skits
There's literally one good song other than 5 absolute bangers... And it isn't even in the same league as those (I mean obviously) so idk how it's such a hot take honestly
Like ask 99% of people what Sherane sounds like - track ONE - and they'll have zero clue it even existed. Proof enough.
Zero disrespect, I think you’re listening to the album wrong as absurd as that sounds. GKMC isn’t a music album. It’s a narrative with rap beats. Meeting Sherane is ultimately why his boy got killed.
That's fair, and as context I actually loved TPAB so it's not an anti-kendrick thing it's just how'd this dude make 5 freaking bangers and throw em in with half baked honestly just odd tracks (story or not) and think that was a good idea? Obviously it worked out, I'm just saying next to no one in the real world (like normal people who don't follow rappers subreddits, lol us) have absolutely no clue one song other than the 5. Hell half don't even really know backseat freestyle, which is arguably the best track on the album for a rap fan 😂
Anyway point is, artists get a ton of credit for "albums", whereas most people that say an album was good really just see the cover and listen to the two bangers on their Playlist - they never a actually LISTEN to the album. It's why I think Ye is absolutely goated, since basically no one in hip hop has ever released such masterpiece albums with 0-2 skips on LPs... Eminem barely did 2-3 albums, Kendrick really only even has 3-4 albums, Cole has just one (FHD), and honestly most artists I can come up with on the fly for "no skip" albums only have 1-2. Honestly most of that is due to a fire debut album and then riding the fame + label pressure to print singles/concert songs after that - not bury themselves in a bunker making amazing music like ye has.
-For the record I generally don't count interludes or especially skits on the "skips or not" list just because they're short or otherwise just someone talking that doesn't add much in terms of music.
Idk I have a lot of hot takes, like Cole only having one album in the same league as 6 of kanye's or as TPAB, but people act like he's a goat on the same level/mount Rushmore etc. While he's fantastic, he has mostly popped off from that one album and tons of fire features and freestyles. I feel like going even to rap fans and asking them to name coles top 3 albums they'd end up stuttering and having to mention KoD which has 2-3 great songs and a very short 3-4 remaining that are meh. Or they'd be listing a mixtape from 2011 or something lol. Again not discrediting the talent or skill, just find some people's metrics a bit odd
Objectively I agree WTT is leagues above JIK, but in terms of my enjoyment and how I would rank the albums i would definitely put them neck n neck for bottom
bro everyone has their list tf. Personally DONDA means a lot to because of the vibes of the rollout (never seen anything like this) and it was the first album I waited kanye to drop for actively since I was 15 at the time. A lot was mid but man that rollout and gospel…
Just my opinion and judging Kanye against Kanye and not any other artists
S - Late Registration & MBDTF | These are complete albums. Story is great, lyrics are great, production is great
A - 808s, Graduation, TLOP, KSG, Yeezus | These albums are missing one element but make up for it by being exceptional in what is done correctly, mostly production.
B - Ye, Donda, College Dropout | Great captures of Kanye through the generations. Has some bangers and some misses. Generally good but not great in a resounding way.
C- JIK | Mid. Mostly a miss imo but the willingness to genre hop and be successful brings this to a C
D - Watch the Throne | Remembered for three songs that carry the entire legacy of this album. The vibes of Otis, Niggss in Paris, and Church in the wild are massive but near everything else is forgettable despite having the two biggest artist of the time going bar for bar.
Cruel Summer exists outside of the rest of Kanye’s work. It’s a GOOD music compilation that has variable styles and lyrics. I think the production is wonderful but it’s not fair to judge more than that imo.
Revisited that’s my bitch. It’s hot.
Unrelated, there are several beats I’d like to see other artists hop on. Welcome to the jungle has a similar pattern to stuff Tyler used to like.
JIK is not good imo but I think we look at it like lots of people saw Yeezus at the time. It’s weird. WTT has had time to breathe and I never go back to it. Only time I hear it is when I watch the Funk Flex video of him restarting Otis, when tiktok kids ask who was in Paris, or a car commercial that plays church in the wild.
JIK only rates for me because I like more sounds on it than WTT. Lyrics are bad. But I appreciate the experiment. For an album with Jay-Z and Kanye trading bars, I think we should expect more compared to what we got.
Watch The Throne is S tier, nobody gives that album it's dues.
That album is hit after hit, banger after banger. I don't understand why people rank it so low
Reddit comments aren't stupid because they disagree with you. There is no objective tier list either and what S means to you means something completely different to the next guy. Also the list is weak because most albums are put as equals in A tier so it's not saying that much about what you like other than your fav and least fav. But the real reason people are shitting on your list is because you asked for it with your title. It's a decent list, but the title just makes you want to shit on it.
Everybody here is absolutely delusional:
1. Graduation sucks ass compared to Kanye's other work
2. College Dropout is nowhere near Kanye's other work
3. Donda is way too high, it's by far Kanye's worst album structurally and the least innovative songs-wise. Thematically it's a let-down
4. Yeezus is clear of both MBDTF and especially Late Registration
5. Doesn't mean MBDTF isn't insanely good; it's just the three middle songs in All of the Lights, Monster and So Appalled that feel like they don't deserve to be on the album
6. Pablo could've been Kanye's best work if it were a more cohesive album towards the end
7. Yeezus is without a doubt Kanye's best album production-wise. Also, thematically and structurally Yeezus is so good that it would've deserved Yeezus II.
8. (BTW) Yandhi sucks
9. JIK is over-hated; Donda is way worse
10. Ye is actually a really good album, could've been way better though
Please downvote me but know that I have the least biased and most relevant opinion of anyone here.
"I saw a shit list, so come look at my own shit list"
Bro saw a shit list and his only rebuttal was to piss out his ass
My list is so based
Based on the listening ability of a deaf man
I guess my opinion is wrong 🔥
Yes 🔥
late registration at S makes me so happy
Same here
no
Yes
I just saw a shit list before typing this response
Not putting College Dropout in S should be a war crime
yall complain about everything 😭 bro could literally say that mbdtf is a 10/10 and yall will be like “HOW U NOT GONNA SAY ITS AN 11/10 L FAN”
If every song and album isn’t your favourite you’re gonna get flamed
You honestly can't win
that's how it goes 🤷
No matter what your taste is people on Reddit will always call you a jackass. I actually somewhat agree with the list. Not totally but like it’s your taste so like go for it. Also love the Yeezus placement.
Fr also I never seen a list people agree with
They won’t agree and that’s what keeps Kanye paid lol
Bro ur fucking dumb
Explain
JIK same tier as WTT and cruel summer lol
Jik is sonically good and if it weren't for yandhi people would enjoy it more
Or maybe people just don’t want a gospel album lmao
That’s different from it being a good album though
This sub is brainless
Ur brainless
Good one
Upvote
It’s not a good album. At all. Lyrically, it is totally vapid - he has absolutely nothing new, insightful, or even mildly interesting to say about Christianity or spirituality, or anything else on GIK. Some of beats are pretty good though, but it’s a D- of an album
Good argument tbh
sonically good doesnt put it on the same tier as WTT the lyrics are shit
Graduation is not S tier?????
it’s not a perfect album. drunk and hot girls, big brother, and barry bonds are skips for me. thematically still a legendary album
Lol ur phones autocorrect must be messed up bro, you accidentally typed in drunk and hot girls for that skip list
yeah my b
Barry Bonds as well... only Big Brother is a skip, IMO... and sometimes I let it ride anyways. But Barry Bonds?? Wheezy fkn kills it. "We outta heahh baby..."
Barry bonds is my least fav tbh
Oof
Big brother being a skip is madness.
i changed my mind. graduation is kanye’s best album and it’s perfect. drunken hot girls and barry bonds aren’t that bad
Drunk hot girls is overhated, pretty good song imo
big brother is a skip? what type of dick are you smoking 🤦🏽♂️
if you dislike barry bonds, it puts you on the lower level of kanye enjoyers
it’s just an opinion everyone has different music taste
I love drunk and hot girls
The songs alright too
No
Lr > graduation 🫡
Exactly
Yet another shit list.
Let's see yours and see if gets shit on 🗣
Everything in the D tier because Kanye is ass
Bro.. then… why u here? Genuine question
JIK, Watch the Throne AND Good Music Cruel Summer on B tier? Boy your parents used to drop you on your head as a baby for sport.
I mean those are the weakest ye albums tho, let’s be real
Watch the throne weak? Get the fuck out
Weak compared to his other albums. Cruel summer same thing it’s not bad but in comparison it’s not even close
Watch the throne weak? Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out !!!!
WTT has like 3 hits, that’s all. Those songs are bangers but hits will never make an album solid, there’s a lot of skips on there
"Why i love you","Otis","no church in the wild","niggas in Paris","made in America","gotta have it","new day","welcome to the jungle" There's lots of hits and good songs on that album just because they ain't hits don't mean they not good songs
That’s My Bitch snubbed. That song almost made it on MBDTF. Murder to Excellence too
Murder 2 Excellence is a High A/Low S tier track
I think my problem with WTT is that you just listed the only songs I really go back and bother playing. 2-4 of them are GREAT, but playing the album through is honestly annoying asf since it goes crazy 'gotta have it' down into sad or boring depths for no reason just to pop back up and go crazy for 1 song 2-3 tracks later in the list.

Ye albums are so good they're normally zero skips or 1-2 and they're probably skits or half skits 🤷🏼♂️ -WTT is an actual handful of skips not just 1-2 or skits
I was with you until your take on GKMC.
There's literally one good song other than 5 absolute bangers... And it isn't even in the same league as those (I mean obviously) so idk how it's such a hot take honestly Like ask 99% of people what Sherane sounds like - track ONE - and they'll have zero clue it even existed. Proof enough.
I’m the 1% then lol. GKMC is a no skip album
Zero disrespect, I think you’re listening to the album wrong as absurd as that sounds. GKMC isn’t a music album. It’s a narrative with rap beats. Meeting Sherane is ultimately why his boy got killed.
That's fair, and as context I actually loved TPAB so it's not an anti-kendrick thing it's just how'd this dude make 5 freaking bangers and throw em in with half baked honestly just odd tracks (story or not) and think that was a good idea?

No way is WTT on the same tier as whatever shit came outta Kanye's ass and he then called it Jesus Is King Respect WTT for the masterpiece that it is
Even if you think they are his weakest albums JIK does not belong anywhere near Watch the Throne
Objectively I agree WTT is leagues above JIK, but in terms of my enjoyment and how I would rank the albums i would definitely put them neck n neck for bottom
Yeah but JIK is way weaker than Cruel Summer and WTT, not even close to the same tier
the perfect tier list
W
Y u put donda in so many times
Nobody gives a fuck what your list is 😭
I just like shitting on them even if I agree idk why people bother posting them anymore
This isn’t better, you only used 3 tiers spread it out
WTT too low, but to be fair most of these albums would be in S tier it’s hard
Amazing list. I would just move 808s to S
Valid
And Grad too lmao. I rarely see lists where that isn’t ok the top tier
bro its an opinion not a fact people have different opinions
Read the comments apparently not
some opinions might concur with yours but it doesnt mean you’re right - music is subjective
bro everyone has their list tf. Personally DONDA means a lot to because of the vibes of the rollout (never seen anything like this) and it was the first album I waited kanye to drop for actively since I was 15 at the time. A lot was mid but man that rollout and gospel…
Perfect
W
Nah L 😭
your list is correct
I appreciate the few that agree 👍
Where is Yeezus II????
S+
Just my opinion and judging Kanye against Kanye and not any other artists S - Late Registration & MBDTF | These are complete albums. Story is great, lyrics are great, production is great A - 808s, Graduation, TLOP, KSG, Yeezus | These albums are missing one element but make up for it by being exceptional in what is done correctly, mostly production.

Cruel Summer exists outside of the rest of Kanye’s work. It’s a GOOD music compilation that has variable styles and lyrics. I think the production is wonderful but it’s not fair to judge more than that imo.
That's actually insane that you rank WTT so low and below JIK That's My Bitch is a classic, Ye has never produced better drums in his life.
Revisited that’s my bitch. It’s hot. Unrelated, there are several beats I’d like to see other artists hop on. Welcome to the jungle has a similar pattern to stuff Tyler used to like.
Ok now revisit: Primetime Murder to Excellence Why I Love You Gotta Have It Who Gon Stop Me
JIK is not good imo but I think we look at it like lots of people saw Yeezus at the time. It’s weird. WTT has had time to breathe and I never go back to it. Only time I hear it is when I watch the Funk Flex video of him restarting Otis, when tiktok kids ask who was in Paris, or a car commercial that plays church in the wild.

For an album with Jay-Z and Kanye trading bars, I think we should expect more compared to what we got.
that's probably the best take i've seen on here for ye's discography.
Why you got to write a whole essay. Shits not that serious 😂
Saw the s tier and automatically said "bad list"
i hate jik haters honestly
Watch The Throne is S tier, nobody gives that album it's dues. That album is hit after hit, banger after banger. I don't understand why people rank it so low
holy shit actually so fucking based
Most valid list
Fr they don't get it
Wtt slept on
JIK and WTT in the same tier?!?!
His first 5 albums are S Tier
still a shit list
Ps replace yeezus with donda and mbdtf with 808s and then put yeezus in d
Yeezus in D is crazy
It ain't good
then you don’t understand experimental rap
I listen to dg and Danny i know experimental rap and that is not good experimental rap
Shit list, nothing in D tier that means you a d rider
I'll die on the hill that LR is good yet overrated on this sub, should never be put *above* 808's, graduation, or TCD and that's on periodtdtdt
KSG DONDA & Ye all need to go down to B or C, and the other 4 can swap with LR and it's goated 🤷🏼♂️
Move Pablo to S and you got urself a stew going
WTT is so underrated
where’s DONDA tho ?
This one is worse
Late registration definitely b tier
Yeezus is S Tier?
Put Yeezus in A and you’re good
No bro 😭
Donda A, C, or D? I can't see
A
how donda in every category??
wifi buggin rn
The fuck
This but switch LR with Donda
I would switch 808s with Jesus is king and watch the throne with kids see ghost and then we’re on the exact same page
bro ranked the albums based on the names😭
Shut up
bro saw his own list then decided to post it. you can’t fool us.
Just say you worship Satan..
To be honest everything from TLOP & prior is S tier
Why are you showing us the shit one?
😆
no ! no !! this list is all wrong, I’ll make a better list and post it
People will shit on it no matter what 🤷
no way u put donda on the same tier as graduation and dropout
Donda is A tier so many amazing songs
Yeezus went from underrated to overrated by kanye fans, it's amazing but the college trio TLOP and ksg clear
It's like you made a list to try to please everybody but only made them more pissed off. Me included, this list hurts to look at
I put what I believe is perfect in s tier all this made me realize is that reddit comments are stupid asf
Reddit comments aren't stupid because they disagree with you. There is no objective tier list either and what S means to you means something completely different to the next guy. Also the list is weak because most albums are put as equals in A tier so it's not saying that much about what you like other than your fav and least fav. But the real reason people are shitting on your list is because you asked for it with your title. It's a decent list, but the title just makes you want to shit on it.
aaaand this is why Tyler hates y’all
i wish mods would ban posts like this. Nobody fucking cares. Same with that alphabet shit
Ye is B at best
this is the correct list
Imagine anyone thinking they have a definitive opinion on what constitutes good music?
Now were talking! This is a mirror of my list. Nice work
It’s not bad especially since none are lower than B. I just love Cruel Summer hellllllla I’d put it higher, other than that it’s good enough
They mad cause you right 😭😭
Everybody here is absolutely delusional: 1. Graduation sucks ass compared to Kanye's other work 2. College Dropout is nowhere near Kanye's other work 3.
