I really don't think it's a crazy statement to say this is a top 5 hip hop album of all time.
Nothing captures fatigue, self-reflection, grief and acceptance(or stagnation) so perfectly, both in the lyrics and the production.
Hoyeon Jung, Squid Game star, reveals in a recent interview to Vogue Korea that lately she’s been obsessed with "Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Side B" by Westside Gunn
“I just think it’s something the world needs right now, whenever I listen to it my mood changes for the better"
Since drake announced scary hours 2 tomorrow,
Let's acknowledge how criminally underrated this song is,
Drake can really rap his ass off if he wants to
YE SEE GHOSTS: THE SUNKEN PLACE
I truly believe that ye and ksg are meant to be one album, describing kanye's mental health and journey out of his so called "sunken place" so I did it myself. Chose songs off both album and rearranged to make the ultimate record.

I am pleasantly surprised that the Grammy's chose traditional rap albums that fit the genre rather than mainstream shit, on the other hand d smoke and Jay electronica's albums aren't that good to be on here TBH.
ALFREDO MY FAV ALBUM THIS YEAR, but I'd be happy if nas wins too
No, I am not sharing the joint with you if you play some psych trance mandragora shit or some shiva tandava stotram remix right when we start smoking up.
Mfs are mad at mach for not allowing websites to misinterpret HIS lyrics and price HIS music the way HE wants to 😭😭 I never thought having the lyrics written out for u was such a big necessity or is it just bc people need to find a reason to hate
As much as I love the concept of this song, I can't help but imagine how fuckin dope it would be to have a kendrick posse cut ft. Griselda
This beat is way too grimey not to imagine westside gunn adlibs on here, conway would've murderer this.

@vanlian2001
Except he wasn't really even that innovative this time. I'm comparing ye to his own standards and this album has barely brought that
Roughly the top 10 rap features of 2021:
1. Andre 3000 on Life Of The Party (Kanye)
2. Earl Sweatshirt on Falling Out The Sky (Armand Hammer)
3. Rome Streetz on Kill All Rats (Conway)
4. Lil Wayne on Hot Wind Blows (Tyler)
5. Fivio Foreign on Off The Grid (Kanye)
@didjesusdrop
If Kanye drops an album titled Donda, shits over. If Kanye drops an album titled Yandhi, shits over. If Kanye drops an album titled So Help Me God, shits over. If Kanye drops an album titled Turbo Grafx6, shits over. If Kanye drops an album titled Good Ass Job, shits over
If you ever feel like you make stupid decisions, just know that pop smoke's killers did what they did and threw their life away just to sell his rolex only for $2000

@ByDobson
Dude sounds half asleep whispering some mumbo jumbo over low energy drumless beats. Is that what y’all creaming yourselves over? 😂 infatuated by the “pimp” character. Sounds kinda gay tbh
@J7thchamber
@rec3de
This song has been teased for atleast 10 years u idiot. DOOMs verse has actually been out fot a while and he knows very well about bronsons intentions since bronson has said hes tryna get a pitbull feature for years
It's crazy that
@WESTSIDEGUNN
's hitler wears hermes is one of the best (if not the best) mixtape series of this gens hip hop, yet still none of them are even in his top 5 projects.
That speaks volumes on how consistent and impeccable his catalog is.
ACT 1 : MANIC
Songs: I Thought About Killing You, Feel The Love and 4th Dimension
The album starts off somewhat describing Kanye's manic phase, the same way ye begins with kanye expressing his distorted intentions and darkest thoughts, which is a product of his bipolar mood-
All these so called "twelebs" have literally the same monotonous personality, political inclination, opinions, humour and tweets! Why follow 10 similar accounts when you can just follow 1.
It's either that or they're just hot.
This phenomenal verse from Kanye on the second track "Gorgeous". Definitely will go down as Kanye's top 5 rap verses. I posted his freestyle performance on funk flex coz it was more dramatic but you should definitely listen to the song for the amazing guitar riff production.
I don't think Kim would be in a relationship with a man for 8 years and have 4 kids with him for him to be boring 😭
Also kanye and boring never go together at all 💀
FINAL ACT: METAMORPHOSIS
Songs: Ghost Town, Violent Crimes, Reborn
The final act begins with acceptance. On ghost town, kanye and cudi learn to accept their flaws and by doing so, they feel "kinda free". Very uplifting track which sounds like it could be the outro, but kanye-
@OnThinlce
@steeztalkscrap
Bro had like 20 people attacking him, the fact that he stood his ground AND performed after getting jumped is an easy W for freddie
& sets the tone of the album, portraying kanye as an erratic, outspoken and unstable genius.
It is followed by feel the love, with assistance of cudi's repetitive hook and push's braggadocious verse, kanye scatting or imitating gunshot sounds as a form of catharsis. This song is-
It's STILL unbelievable that we got a kanye west and kendrick lamar collaboration produced by none other than the best hip hop producer of all time, madlib on one track.
AND the fact that kanye outrapped kendrick??? How did this happen in this lifetime.
