Chance The Rapper was clearly not satisfied with an article published by Complex that ranked all of Kanye West‘s albums from best to worst and placed Late Registration as second to last. After responding to the article, “How am I supposed to keep reading this after you put Late Registration 2nd to last?” he took it upon himself to deliver his own ranking of Yeezy’s catalog via Twitter.
Beginning with (of course) 2005’s Late Registration, West’s second studio album, Chance’s list follows with The College Dropout, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Graduation, Watch The Throne with Jay Z, The Life of Pablo that he appears on, Yeezus and 808s & Heartbreak.
Lil Chano has always professed his admiration for his fellow Chicago native, but since becoming one of rap’s golden children, they’ve formed a close friendship. In 2011, he thanked West for putting him on, then had Yeezy’s back in 2012 and, in 2014, they finally crossed paths.
However, that wasn’t the end of it. West eventually asked Chance to be on his album, The Life of Pablo, in 2016. His bars on “Ultralight Beam” were named HipHopDX’s Verse of the Year. Since then, Chance’s position in the rap community has only continued to skyrocket and it wouldn’t be surprising if he teamed up with his idol again. For now, Chano continues to show his love for Yeezy, ranking all eight of West’s albums in the order he believes is accurate. Check out the full list above.
I don’t know how 808’s can be the last one chance! I love you bro but I guess we just have all our own opinions. Love. And if he accounts WTT shouldn’t Cruel summer be in their too, even though I feel there both his weakest albums, only personally.
Flip TLOP and 808s imo. I’d personally put MBDTF first
Nah, Watch the Throne was a collab album with Kanye on all the songs, Cruel Summer was a compilation album with a bunch of songs without Kanye.
1. Collage Dropout 2. TLOP 3. Yeezus 4. Graduation 5. 808s 6. Watch The Throne 7. My Beautiful… 8. Late registration
Life of Pablo #2? Please get off kanyes dick. Shit is hot garbage. College dropout, late registration, graduation are his top 3 in any order. Y’all are a bunch of god damn fools. Life of Pablo……SMH
Fuck everybody’s lists. All of Kanye’s albums are classics. The man’s a genius!
What did Chance have for lunch today, the meatloaf?
He has been absolutely spoiled and rich since birth, his privileged ass has always been able to whatever he wants. Normal people to which he can’t relate have had to work hard and deal with life’s struggles.
So you are mad that his black parents were successful in giving their child a normal childhood without unnecessary struggle…..hmmmmm
Nobody said ANYTHING about him and his parents being black, I dislike spoiled little rich kids. People like you always have to turn everything into a race issue.
That’s too bad you’re missing out on some nice people. I’m a “spoiled little rich kid” but I would never despise somebody just because the hands they were dealt. You saying that is no better than a rich person saying they despise people who grew up without much money. At the end of the day chance grinded to make good music. Can’t buy off consumers
Does Chance prefer David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?I know HHDX has him on speed dial it would mean a lot of you could ask him. There are a couple cassettes in the 3 for a dollar box at the rummage sale I’m considering. I’ll wait until you get back to me.
Anyone who doesn’t put 808s last doesn’t know music. And why is he breaking up dropout into DO. It’s one word.
Anyone who says anyone who doesn’t feel the same as them about something subjective is straight up ignant!
Technically 808 and heartbreaks is his best album because of the revolutionary impact it had on the rap game
Stans love to give more credit than is deserved to artists. Firstly, Kanye didn’t start the trend of the sound 808s has. And secondly, it didn’t that the impact people claim it had.
My list is pretty much the same. He fell off after graduation and again after mbdtf
1.) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2.) The College Dropout
3.) Graduation
4.) Late Registration
5.) 808s and Heartbreak
6.) Watch the Throne
7.) The Life of Pablo
8.) Yeezus
Firstly, I love all of his albums, they’re all different and he’s not afraid to take risks. Only reason I see for late registration being near the bottom is because it was too long and had some average tracks (crack music was not necessary at all). Overall it’s full of classic songs so it’s not at the bottom of my list either, but definitely isn’t Kanye’s best album. Of course it’s all a matter of taste so there’s no point in saying “you’re right/wrong”
1.) Graduation
2.) The College Dropout
3.) Late Registration
4.) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
5.) The Life Of Pablo
6.) Yeezus
7.) 808s and Heartbreak
His first 3 albums were great. Haven’t really listened to him after that. He fell off after that.
Dark Twisted Fantasy was great also.
Who cares about the opinion of a wide eyed pig nosed nigga
1) college dropout
2) late registration
3) 808s
4) graduation
5) MBDTF
6) Yeezus
7) TLOP
8) WTT
