![Kanye West Admits He Hates 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy': 'I Made [It] Out Of Fear'](https://hiphopdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/kanye-west-admits-he-hates-my-beautiful-dark-twisted-fantasy.jpg?w=860)
Kanye West has admitted that he actually hates My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
The 2010 album is widely considered to be Ye’s finest project and one of the greatest albums of all time, but the controversial rapper does not hold it in as high regard.
In a series of posts on X this past weekend, West said: “I hate My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Like haaaaaaate that album.”
Explaining his disdain for the album, he added: “I made Dark Fantasy out of fear and to prove something. It was like ‘coming back from the Taylor Swift moment’. I should have leaned in more,” referencing his infamous interruption of the pop star at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
The Chicago native continued by negatively comparing MBDTF to his 2016 album The Life of Pablo: “The Life of Pablo is waaaay better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Go song for song.”
He then said: “Songs I love on Dark Fantasy are: Devil in a New Dress, Blame Game. Songs I love on N-gger Cock now known as Yeezus cause Don C influenced me to change the title: On Site, Hold My Liquor, Blood on the Leaves.”
This is not the first time that Kanye West has downplayed the greatness of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which has been ranked by Rolling Stone as the 17th greatest album of all time and the eighth best of the 21st century.
In a separate social media outburst last month, he raised eyebrows by claiming: “Ye Album waaaay better than Dark Fantasy.”
Released in 2018, the seven-song Ye is generally considered one of the weakest efforts in Kanye’s catalog and fans were quick to tell him as much, with one commenting: “Every Ye album is better than that trash.”
Another told the rap icon to “stop lying,” while someone else responded with a video of an emotional Kendrick Lamar screaming, “No!”
One user even posted a poll, asking fans to vote between the two albums. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy easily won, bringing in over 78 percent of the vote.
It sucks. His dickriding fans swear it’s a classic though. Kanye went off the rails with that 808 album, and this was worse. Dude talking about taking dick pics as the lead single, and this generation of weirdo fans talking about it’s a magnum opus.
Then why are you here? Your generation has nothing better to do than complain all you boomers, gen x, and millennials are all the same and stupid. Ye is king! Meanwhile you’re here hating.
To remind your little bitch ass that your music sucks, and you need to hold your shitty rappers to higher standards.
Agreed that and Yeezus were my least favorites and made me not a fan anymore then Donda won me back and checked out Ye, Jesus Is King, and Pablo all better than that overrated trash. Vultures 1 is great too no matter what the haters say.
people will read those tweets then stream or buy the album
Translation: he hates the album because it was his last time being relevant.
MBDTF was his last great album.
Somebody needs to scare that ninja
Yeezus is better than MBDTF
clearly you are smoking DUST sir.
Ye can’t help but go against popular opinion. He hates his last good album. He didn’t even fuck with drake until people switched up on him. Attention hoes are the worst.
Ye went full retard. He should’ve never gone full retard. His career and life is in a downward spiral because of that
Dude needs the right medications or to be in some daily rehab… or maybe even an inpatient permanently. I don’t think he’s dangerous, but it’s actually sad watching him go down this bad. People laugh and talk shit, I just feel bad.
Everything he’s been doing lately is “performance art” just because the album’s title is Bully. And it’s not even good trolling, it’s just lame.
Ye only make music for Ye. He don’t make music for you.
Stream Cher Lloyd’s new song.
Lol. Hasn’t had a decent album since. This man lost his marbles.
Ye is a God. Anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t know music or hates him on a personal level too much to admit it. He is a GOAT. Have people done it better? Maybe, for a short period of time, but overall Ye has captured the world’s attention for decades. Uncancelable, no f’s given. I love it.
