Mar 25, 2016 Graduation is seen as his weakest album by a lot, I honestly think an album with songs like Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Good Life > tlop (the official version, so not counting OG songs)
Mar 25, 2016 That's a given tbh Graduation's my second favorite Kanye project after MBDTF, and I don't know where this hate came from. Maybe cause it's his most successful album in mainstream
Mar 25, 2016 Also Flashing Lights, Good Morning, The Glory.... I feel like people forget about how good Graduation is. TLOP has some great highs as well, Ultra Light Beam has got to be one of my favourite songs in a long time, but I got to agree that Grad is better.
Mar 25, 2016 yeah i love tlop but idk where it ranks to be honest. last or 2nd last. hopefully he keeps updating it over time tho so that it serves some sort of artistic purpose outside of just being a lackluster project lol
Mar 25, 2016 might end up being my least played album by him, even after yeezus (which I've said numerous times I wasn't a fan of)... like I'd take the 1/2 of yeezus I love over the entirety of TLOP I think... I don't know. we'll see how it goes. but yes I think grad > tlop as well.
Mar 25, 2016 I honestly think this is pretty obvious, although then again I enjoyed Graduation more than most probably
Mar 25, 2016 Tsk. Man, i agree. Graduation, i'd argue, is one of the weaker & more tame Kanye efforts (still amazing, but weaker), but TLOP is d--- near mixtape tier. No cohesion, lots of filler, & a vast majority of the songs just don't feel that standout-y, a s--- ton of them feel too...safe (FSMH 2, Waves, Highlights). Some even forgettable (f---ing Facts & NMPILA, despite the dope bars on the latter). Regardless, i STILL enjoy the f--- outta TLOP, but the album is dead last in Ye's catalog for me. Grad beats it. TG16 season comin tho
Mar 26, 2016 There's no "hate" for Grad, we just prefer his other 5 classics to it. Anyone I've ever met who has Grad at or near the bottom still thinks it's a fantastic album.
