![Kanye West Bemuses Fans With Albums Ranking Hot Take: '[It's] Way Better Than Dark Fantasy'](https://hiphopdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/kanye-west-bemuses-fans-with-albums-ranking-hot-take.jpg?w=860)
Kanye West has made yet another controversial statement — this time regarding his much-debated discography.
While far less offensive than his recent antisemitic, homophobic and misogynistic rants on social media, the Chicago rap legend has raised eyebrows among his fans by claiming that his 2018 album Ye is far superior to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
In a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday (March 2), he wrote on X: “Ye Album waaaay better than Dark Fantasy.”
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is widely considered to be Kanye’s best album and one of the greatest LPs in music history, while Ye is one of the lowest scored entries in his catalog.
Fans were quick to tell him just as much, with one commenting: “Every Ye album is better than that trash.”
Another told Yeezy to “stop lying,” while someone else responded with a video of an emotional Kendrick Lamar screaming, “No!”
One account even posted a poll, asking fans to vote between the two albums.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy easily won the poll, bringing in over 78 percent of the vote.
It was previously reported that Kanye West initially wanted to name the seven-song Ye after Adolf Hitler.
In a 2022 article detailing West’s alleged long-standing admiration of the notorious Nazi leader, CNN spoke to four sources who told them that the rapper “had originally suggested the title ‘Hitler’ for his 2018 album that eventually released as ‘Ye.'”
Kanye’s support of Hitler recently culminated in him proudly wearing a swastika T-shirt out in public.
Last week (February 28), the 47-year-old was spotted in Los Angeles wearing the controversial garment and openly flaunting it to paparazzi.
West previously faced repercussions over the T-shirt when his Shopify account was taken down after he began selling the clothing item on his Yeezy website.
Despite the backlash, Ye has publicly declared that he wants to perform at the 2026 Super Bowl wearing a swastika T-shirt.
Agreed. His best album was Donda, Jesus Is King is better than much of his past work too but live in your nostalgia as this man grew as an artist and became better shaping the world.
DONDA WAS MID Y’ALL NEED TO STOP GASSING THAT SHIT
Donda 1 and 2 both go hard you boomers just have bad ears go listen to your record players
Ye barely has 1 good song, let alone the album. Everything he’s made since MBDTF is absolute hot trash, if you were a fan of the old Kanye. It’s basically a new artist experimenting with new ideas, but it ain’t for me.
Carnival, Clique, Paris, Cold, Waves, Field Trip, Mercy, Closed On Sunday, and many others. Y’all are just haters without him Hip Hop and honestly music is dead.
Hurricane? I swear yall just want rappers to be the same all the time but funny you stop supporting them when they do. Guess that’s why you like corny rap like NF, Eminem, Token, Tom Mac, Joyner, and Dax
Easy, City Of Dreams, F Sumn, Wheels Fall Off, I swear you people just want to attack this man no matter what even though he’s the backbone of it all
Vultures is better too but the nostalgists would rather live in fantasy no pun
Proof that his tastes in music is trash.
Shut up clear you don’t like him why are you here? Guy made all of music in the last 3 decades and huge influence in fashion and style
Bc its a public forum and im free to leave positive or negative comments. What happened to freedom of speech? Aren’t you swastika wearing KKKLANYE fans big on that? 🤣
Kanye West should kill himself.
Shut up man is a God and you’re a Mexican why don’t you pay reparations for all the evil your Aztec and Mayan ancestors did to the other tribes yall were as bad if not worse than the European Spanish and you probably got their DNA in you too.
Kanye West should get shot in the face.
Then ignore this article? You zionists have nothing better to do you prove him right each time you attack him or say this stuff. Buying that chain as soon as he starts selling them
How does this site allow all the zionists on here calling for this man’s death? This is what people are talking about the anti-black hate especially from zionists.
Wasn’t he going to Atlanta to help Kodak?
He did Yak appreciated it.
It is and honestly I’ve never gotten the hype behind that album alot of those felt like products of their time same with Lupe the way people glaze him. But zionist hipsters I guess have their awful takes. Donda is the best, Donda 2, Vultures, Jesus Is King, all great Life Of Pablo. Personally Dark Fantasy and Yeezus were my least favorites. Ye is a artist who evolved and educates. But sidenote Ye we need a update on orders and the store also a new Bully single and new Yeezy merch please make the 1050s, the BL-01 look hard, and maybe some hires for Droam and more swastika merch need that chain, a black shirt with a white swastika and a jacket would go hard. I think it’s time we finally get the Yeezy animation and gaming up and running too hire Grant Morrison for writing, Tomonobu Itagaki on games, Shinichiro Watanabe, Hideaki Anno, Toshiki Inoue, and Noriyuki Abe for anime.
