    Chaotic Progress Next Up... Em! April 26th.

    Rather arbitrary as always.

    Like 87 Kanye albums but 1 Beatles? Lmao. Get real. Honestly Ye did a great number on the world, with all his ranting and raving about his greatness, because even as a rap fan and a Ye fan... it's just stupid how much overpraise he gets - some great albums, great songs, sure, but no masterpieces and certainly not half his bloody discog. Beatles' Revolver and Rubber Soul should be on there.

    Also none of Kanye's albums are better than Em's first three. And I am a Ye fan. But putting any of them ahead of MMLP is absurd.

    Honestly you can shuffle these in any order since they're all practically fantastic albums from fantastic artists.

    It's such a crazy effort to even have that many albums listed in any form or fashion to begin with, heck you can even extend this way beyond with a list of omissions that probably had better records than the ones on here.

    No way b.

    Kanye has not created anything as artistically great as MMLP.

    His closest, by most critical accounts - is 'Dark Fantasy. But that's just a collection of songs. MMLP is a statement on free-speech, ''I am whatever you say I am'' / Encompassing all criticisms and becoming the worst you presume of me... the concept is genius vs. Ye's ''oh I was criticized for interrupting somebody at an award show and now I am an outkast!!'' concept. Ridiculous.

    MMLP is much more clever and interesting. And funny. And cohesive.

    That aside,
    There is NO WAY there deserves to be that many Kanye albums on there. Especially when there's only ONE Beatles album and two Em. I say all Em's first three deserve to be there and 'Graduation' (even though, ironically it is my favorurite Ye album) and 'Yeezus' do not deserve to be. Also love 'Yeezus'.

    Fully agree with that first take, yet while I’m by no means a big proponent of Cudi, I would take the first MOTM. I felt it was his best attempt at fusing his brand of alt-rap with different sounds—the Ratatat songs are still so good—and I find burgeoning depressed Cudi more intriguing than Sophomore depressed Cudi. Curious for your reasoning though!

    I think Cudi is one of those cases where he as an artist general is more influential than any of his specific albums. I don't think that talent ever fully translated to a tried and true classic unfortunately, but I'd put the second MOTM on there before the first.

    Yeah, they should just list 500 most influential albums without a ranking.
