      Pops has spoken......we need Lil Wayne. Please start from The Block is Hot and bring him along so he can see the growth from lamb to Goat🦾

      All his albums bang for me a different way. Like I can't sit here and say oh x album by him is the best cause it's all mood. Whatever I'm in at the moment is my heat even JIK.
      Used to be Graduation no contest back when it was out and for years after but I constantly go back and forth between Yeezus, TLOP, CD, LR, KSG as far as favorite. MBDTF is good but like he said it was an apology album so that in consideration isn't a top 5 for me from his work cause it wasn't really something He himself wanted to try to break ground with.

    kanye's discography is so cool to me. i think college dropout and late registration really have that early 2000s late 90s appeal. then graduation sort of leaves that behind for a more poppy sound. then we go into mbdtf which is completely different. such a great evolution

    Homecoming is pretty underrated imo. The metaphor is crazy. The twist in the end is like: wow, he was talking about Chicago all along?

    I really enjoyed this reaction. I listen to this album a lot in the mornings, just like I did when it came out. It really gets my day going in body, mind and spirit. Loved how dad got smirks in at some of the lines I still find the most clever. This will always be my favorite era of Kanye. Subscribed!

    Graduation is my fave Ye album by a landslide. Was in high school when this album came out. Listened to it a ton back then and been listening to it a ton nowadays. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug and I love it. Forever Music no doubt with this one. Flashing Lights is my fave song on this album. The strings and the synths make this song! 💙💪🏼

    If you didn't know, T-pain won the first season of the masked singer, and that same season Gladys Knight came in 3rd. It sold the concept for me because I think bias would have prevented him from winning because of the auto tune reputation, but he can sing for real.

I’m looking forward to seeing Dad’s innocent and naive(?) view of Kanye get more complicated as you’ll go deeper into his discography.

    Bittersweet Poetry wasn’t about Amber Rose. He had that rap before College Dropout even. He was with Alexis Phifer during this album, and split with her, which is part of the reason for 808s, along with the angel Donda West.

    Great album, great reaction. Thanks for sharing your opinions with us. It’s definitely cool you and your dad can do something together like this that you both enjoy and get along. I think it’s awesome you have that special bond together. You’re lucky to have a cool dad you’re close to like that. Also side note, Stronger was my MySpace profile song for quite awhile way back in the day, so everytime someone would hear it they’d say that it would make them think of me lol. My sister and I are really close and we would listen to this album in the car and just jam out to it. She loved Good Life with T-Pain. An of course I like Good life too which is such a hit, I mean come on it’s genius T-Pain who is such a good songwriter and changed the game up bringing in a whole new sound and era of music, but it was my sisters absolute favorite on the album. This whole album is just so well done. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite because these beats are all so damn good! I have good memories associated with this album. Thanks for the nostalgia!

    I love what you guys are talking about after “glory”. Kanye does so much with his music that on this album he basically didn’t make a bad song. He had so many aspects and layers to each song that on every song at least one of these things (lyrics, instrumentation, production, and delivery) is good on each song so there’s something to like about every single one it’s wild. Most of them do all four well. Top shelf content.
