    the best songs on late registration are among kanye's best (including literally his best). but it's the only one of his albums that's seriously hampered by sequencing. unlike college dropout, the skits actively detract from it. there's no momentum in the beginning then none at the end. i'm splitting hairs--it's still probably a classic, the margins here are very thin--but yeezus is probably a better overall album. @Swizz and i were talking about this the other day in our treehouse.

    Revisited it the other day, it still has a couple of really weak tracks that drag it down, but man is it a great listen. Possibly my favorite Ye album production wise, simply because it's still such a unique sound that no one (including Kanye himself) has really duplicated.

    Yeah, definitely his best produced album. It was the perfect mix between samples and synths. Incredibly rich production. A good sound system or a pair of decent headphones really brings out the depth of it all.

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think I Wonder might be his best work as a producer.

    I could argue in favor of that tbh. He took a relatively basic sample and seamlessly built this otherworldly soundscape to compliment it. It's a great piece of music.

    ? I mean it's a really basic drumline granted but it didn't need to be anything more that that.
