    Honestly, CD/LR/Graduation vs. 808s/MBDTF/Yeezus is a pretty even match up for me.

    It's not better or worse. Just different.

    Its so hard to compare the first three to recent three. But I'd say 808s-now is slightly below the first three based on my enjoyment. But I listen to 808s-now music more often. :dno:

    College Dropout - 8.5
    Late Registration - 8
    Graduation - 7.5
    808's and Heartbreak - 8
    MBDTF - 10
    WTT - 8
    Cruel Summer - 5
    Yeezus - 7

    He has not fallen off, but his two latest projects are worse than the first two.

    This new album seems to be going in a MBDTF state of mind, so regardless ; I have high expectations.

    I dont thinks hes gotten better or worse, like I like his first 3 albums better (except MBDTF) than his last 3 but, each album has its on style. I just think overall each album is so different than the others so it really depends what you like. I think the yeezy style i prefer though is his first two albums

    Well I think they're both better than Graduation, and I like Yeezus about as much as I do CD/LR. I guess we'll have to give it a few more years to see if Yeezus still holds up as much as they do, but it hasn't lost its replay value for me yet.

    I like his first 3 better then his last 3. Not much of a fan of 808's or Yeezus.

    I'd say better.

    If you go by 808's, MBDTF and Yeezus. I don't like LR and CD as much as most people on here tho, Graduation is great. 808's was groundbreaking, MBDTF is one of the best albums of the last decade and Yeezus is underrated.

    I feel like Kanye's first three albums were the most well-structured and musically sound (right after MBDTF that is) but his last 3 are more interesting.

    I feel like Kanye's musical pallet is simply diversifying and he's trying to do more musically. The great thing about Kanye is you can make an argument for every single one of his solo albums to be his best. The somewhat bad thing is that because his music is so diverse, people will love one sound and hate his stuff that's different from that, Kanye is a bit alienating in that sense.

    I prefer his last three albums. I love how he tried to make albums with a different touch. With 808's and Yeezus he definitely experimented and I love that. And yeah MBDTF is flawless, there are no words for that project.
