Nas – Nasirįinally, we have Nas’s 12th album, Nasir, and, honestly, it’s quite disappointing. Tasty! Jams: “Gonna Love Me”, “Hurry”, “Rose In Harlem” 5. My main takeaways from the album are that Teyana Taylor is very open about her sexual desires, Kanye can still make R&B music anytime he wants, and “NO FADEOUTS”.
#Ranking kid cudi albums series
and declare herself a force to be reckoned with. While Kanye’s production on the album is incredibly different from every other project in the series it still feels perfectly in-sync with Taylor’s voice. Drawing many comparisons to SZA’s CTRL, Taylor was able to chill us all out with K.T.S.E. Teyana Taylor – K.T.S.E.Ĭoming in at #4, Teyana Taylor’s debut album is on par with her other R&B contemporaries. Tasty! Jams: “Yikes”, “All Mine”, “Wouldn’t Leave”, “Ghost Town” 4. The only real reasons that I’m putting it third is because I believe that DAYTONA and Kids See Ghosts show more versatility and feel much more complete, which makes a lot of sense when you know that Ye was made in just two weeks.Įither way, a 7 song Kanye album that was made in two weeks is still better than just about everything that’s been released this year. Overall, the album is by far the most catchy of the series and the one I find myself replaying the most. I don’t see how anyone can deny that “Ghost Town” is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, songs to be released so far this year. I don’t really believe in separation between the artist and the art but in this case it seems as if the art was disregarded from the start.
Is it still one of the best albums of the year? Undoubtedly.Įvery review of this album I have seen talks more about Kanye’s antics than it does the actual music. Kanye West – Yeįirst off, let me start this by saying I don’t give a fuck what you think about this album. Tasty! Jams: “Feel The Love”, “Reborn”, “Kids See Ghosts” 3. And, while “Freeee” is somewhat of a let down when compared to the preceding “Ghost Town”, the more I listen to the pitched-down screech of “ I feel freee” the more it grows on me. Kanye’s production seems to be at its peak on this project, setting the perfect stage for Cudi to hum his way on to creating some of the most infectious songs from the Summer series. After many recent musical missteps and a battle with depression Cudi came back extremely strong on this one.
Kids See Ghosts, the collaborative project from Kid Cudi and Kanye West, felt like a Kid Cudi comeback album. Tasty! Jams: “If You Know You Know”, “The Games We Play”, “What Would Meek Do?” 2. And while the album itself was incredible, Pusha topped it off with his legendary Drake diss, “The Story of Adidon”, closing out the album’s final tack “Infared” perfectly. Summer series just so happened to be the most fulfilling. Pusha T seemed ready and refined as he took the mic on DAYTONA, trading verse for verse with Kanye on “What Would Meek Do?” and overall killing it from start to finish. Now that it is unfortunately all over it’s time to take a look back at the self-proclaimed genius’s work.Īt the end of the day, the first album of the G.O.O.D. Kanye West has spent the past few months in Wyoming bringing all of us an incredible album every single week since the end of May.
