All 9 Kanye West Albums Ranked 

I can't even rank these albums without it changing within the next day or so

Ye is an extremely underrated album, it's so beautiful, the only problem is there arent enough songs, I love it so much.

People forget how great of an album Graduation is. Besides Drunk & Hot Girls, every song is fire & it was a staple of my childhood especially living in Chicago

I like how everyone has different opinions on their favorite Kanye projects... just an ode to how many sounds he’s able to capture

Guys take a breath every now and again, we not gonna leave if you pause for one second 😂

Should rank top Kanye songs next... hold my liquor is so underrated! 30 hours as well

Graduation is madly under appreciated, shit changed, hip hop and pop production forever, went back to it and it was fire all the way thru

I feel like The College Dropout is one of the only albums I've come across that you can listen to in any mood and it'll still hit.

My personal top 5 1. College dropout 2.Graduation 3.808s 4.MBDTF 5.Late registration

808s is a masterpiece

it’s hard to rank his entire discography but my top 3: 3. Life of Pablo 2. MBDTF 1. Graduation

1. Late Registration (most personal) 2. Graduation (all hits) 3. College Dropout (most memorable/impactful) 4. The Life of Pablo (each version of Ye combined together) 5. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (best production & features) Kanye West really doesn’t have any bad albums

The guys convinced me that every Kanye album is my favorite.

Guilt trip underrated af

Wow I just had the urge to listen to 808s again and it's absolutely amazing that Kanye has discography so excellent that this isn't considered one of his best. It's the most ambitious project a hip hop artist has ever done and the songs are terrific. Tbh sometimes I forget how great Kanye is until I start deep diving into his albums again.

Outkast and Kanye West have the best hip-hop discographies in my opinion. Kendrick Lamar could join them if his next album is gonna be great.

even his old mixtapes are a huge vibe. Like his beat tapes from the 90s are insane for someone that was his age at the time. keep up the great work guys amazing video might buy your patreon soon just cause i love watching your videos

The thing I love the most about ranking anything Kanye is that even the last spot is better than some artists entire discography, and everyone has that mutual understanding that even when a song is poorly received its more of a compliment to his other works rather than an insult to the song/album itself

College dropout-(The documentary made me appreciate it alot more) Late registration-(the victory lap) Graduation-(his best) 808s and heartbreak-(a industry changer) MBDTF-(the comeback) Yeezus-(kanye nailed industrial rap first try) The Life of Pablo-(all of the elements of ye in one album) ye-(the most vulnerable ye has presented himself in any album) Jesus is king-(a decent gospel rap album) Donda-(the life of pablo but a bit longer)

I always loved Kanye's consistency in production as well as his willingness to try out new things

My dream is for Donda to drop and then a reworked future version of Yandhi. Never too late to drop Yandhi, Ye

Listening Devil In A New Dress is in my top 10 things I enjoy the most.

i really like this duo, they contrast each others ideas but are respectful towards each other and are both quite knowledgable. good job guys

My all time favorite Kanye album and possibly my favorite rap album ever is Yeezus Amazing narrative, crazy production, and insane verses

Top 5: 5. the life of pablo 4. late registration 3. Ye 2. MBDTF 1. graduation

New favourite channel, surely more Kanye content ‼️

Loved watching this video! My top three go TLOP, Graduation, Late Registration in that order 🙏🔥

This just made me want to go through every track again. Thanks !!!!

808s & Heartbreak is an album I was mild on at the time it released aside from the big singles like Love Lockdown, Paranoid, and Amazing. I didn't get the concept but knew it was something different. Over the years it's grown into one of my top Kanye albums. It's so hard to place the album but to me it's above MBDTF which I like but was one of the few people who didn't really feel like it was Kanye's best work. I appreciate all the work and creativity that went into MBDTF but it would probably be number 5 to me. 808s is number 4 but it's a hard call. Ranking these albums is tough because they are all very unique and distinct. I like every Kanye album so they are all number 1.

ye has to be my favorite, there’s something about the whole structure of it. The way it works is supposed to mimic bi polar disorder, which I have. Ghost town and all mine hit so great, and violent crimes is such a great closing, it feels like the end of something great. It’s like when you finish a long film at the cinema, and you step out and it’s cold and it’s night. Beautiful

Great video from the old days always good to go back 🔥

Best music podcast on RU-vid, was hyped for this video

You gents are absolutely crushing it, keep grinding! You're on your way to the top of the podcast game without question.

Hearing you guys give “I wonder” its flowers 🤝

Another classic from the NFR boys, one of the best youtuber on the platform

Can you guys please start playing snippets of songs as you mention them. It would make the videos so much easier to watch because every time you guys recommended a song, I pause the video to go and look it up really quick lol

There may not be another album I have listened too that puts me in a certain mood like 808’s does. Throughout the album, you are lonely, you are emotional, even angry. You are in that cold, dark world, yet I feel so at peace. The auto tune, the melodies, and the 808 just take you somewhere that no other album of his does in my opinion.

Just a heads up on the commentary at 9:20 ...he actually samples Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan (not a reggae song) on Champion. I also thought it was a reggae sample at first... but great nonetheless!

You guys are very well spoken and the editing was great, I subscribed.

I like the reviews that you do for every album. It's obvious that you did your research

Luca needs to stop cutting off Anthony. won't even let him finish a thought

Hopefully one day Ye will bless us with a care package of unreleased music

This is the video i've been waiting for!!!

So much love I have for this podcast it just got into addiction from 🇿🇦

So for me my favorites and “objectives” are different but if I combine it kinda like you guys did I’ll have to say 1. MBDTF 2. TCD 3. Graduation 4. Late Registration 5. TLOP 6. Yeezus 7. 808s and Heartbreak, 8. Ye and 9. Jesus is King. Mbdtf is number 1 for me always just cuz of that grand feeling and imo it’s the best hip hop album of all time just because of where I was in my life when I heard it but everything else changes on a regular basis

“Fell in love” of kanye thanks to TLOP. Late i know. Still my fav album. So many memories. Love every song. Yeezus production is amazing. I know its not common but those two are my favorites. Graduation is perfect, And i find Ye the most emotional one.

I am so excited to see you guys make this list haha after i asked for kanye next on the eminem video I didn''t think you guys would actually do it but I'm happy bc I really wanna kno how u two would rank his albums

A year and a half ago, this video sparked my interest in expanding my music taste

MBDTF the best in my opinion but my favorites got to be Graduation and TCD. He has the code to self esteem in these albums and made me more a fan of myself, as Ye said “if you a Kanye fan you’re a fan of yourself”

It goes like this in a list of Kanye's best: 1:TLOP 2: YEEZUS 3:MBDTF

How many classics does Jay have is a great conversation. Surprised your Patreon didn’t recognize that conversations potential for a fire episode.

Ye just grows on me more and more overtime. Ghost Town is definitely a top 5 Kanye song to me and was definitely his most emotional song to me until I heard Come to Life.

My Top 3: *1: MBDTF -* It’s very consistent, diverse, and a perfect combo of emotional and hard hitting songs. The production is incredible and the features keep a fresh sound on every song for me. *2: Kids See Ghosts -* Short, sweet and to the point. Kid Cudi kinda kinda carried it tho. *3: Graduation -* Some of the most uplifting music you’ll ever hear. Every track is an anthem for someone.

1. Yeezus 2. MBDTF 3. Graduation 4. College Dropout 5. Late registration / TLOP 6. Ye 7. 808s 8. JIK

Loved this episode

Great video as usual, I got Late Registration and TLOP as my favorites🔥but every Kanye album is great (we don’t talk about JIK)

1. My beautiful dark twisted fantasy 2.Yeezus 3. 808s and heartbreak 4.The college dropout 5. Graduation 6. Late registration 7. The life of pablo 8. Ye 9. Jesus is King I like kanye when he is creative and is innovative with his sound. 808s, twisted fantasy and yeezus are high on my list for that reason. Every album sounded so different and inventive during that time.

My 4, 5 and 6 switch every time I go back through the discography and depending on my mood. 1. Graduation 2. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 3. The College Dropout 4. Yeezus 5. The Life Of Pablo 6. Late Registration 7. 808’s and Heartbreak 8. Ye 9. Jesus Is King

Dope video, great list! I think DONDA is going to be amazing it might top TLOP. But we will have to see I hope we get a good amount of tracks 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I agree with you 100% Anthony. Spaceship is the track that made me a huge Kanye fan

The best conversations are just two friends aggressively agreeing with each other

Imagine a rapper not innovating and someone putting his work down because of that. That shows the greatness of his past work no one would ever say that about any other artist. Shows his greatness

I think Barry Bonds and Drunk and Hot Girls are so dope hearing Mos Def on the whole vibe that Graduation brings the same man who gave us B.O.B.S is incredible to me. And then like ya said Wayne and Ye is always so dope to see.

going to listen to Ye's discography again and see how I rank them at this point in time, coming back to this so ig like so don't forget to update yall! :)

My top 5 💨 1. Graduation 2. MBDTF 3. Life of Pablo 4. College dropout 5. Yeezus All 🔥🔥🔥 so hard to decide.

My top 8. These are the ones I like. 1. Graduation 2.MBDTF 3.College Dropout 4.Late Registration 5.808s and Heartbreak 6.Yeezus 7.Life Of Pablo 8.Donda

Subbed, great video and lists. My list: 1. Graduation 2. MBDTF 3. Late registration 4. Life of Pablo 5. College dropout 6. Yeezus 7, 808s 8. Ye 9. JIK

1) 808s 2)mbdtf 3)graduation 4)late reg 5) college dropout 6) donda 7)ye 8) life of pablo 9) yeezus

I like all of his discography and I tend to switch back and forth listening was from Jesus Is King, The Life of Pablo, and Kids See Ghosts but after this episode I may have to just make time and listen again to all the albums in his discography. His production has tremendous replay value.

Really enjoyed this!! Whereabouts are you gentlemen from?

This is gonna be exciting

rank more artist discographies, I would like to see you guys ranking Lil Wayne's

And look at that, Hold My Liquor stays underrated! Not a single bad element on the entire song Justin Vernon? Fire. Chief Keef? Fire. Kanye’s verse? Absolute fire. The production? Fire. The guitar solo? FIIIIIIRE! Great track and it’s a bit deeper than it is on the surface

These albums all go so crazy i don’t even know how to rank them cus his stuff is all so different I mean them first 5 albums were absolutely insane

I love the deep dive in this video!

My list is 1-MBDTF 2-yeezus 3-808’s 4-graduation 5-college dropout 6-TLOP 7-late 8-ye 9-JIK

late registration is my personal favorite

My list is 1.graduation 2.the college dropout 3. Late res 4. My dark twist fan 5. Yeezus 6. Life of Pablo 7.808s and heartbreak 8.ye 9.jesus is king

anyone know where i could get the album cover displays in the background? Thanks

This is so weird to hear them in a chill, slow speech (compared to their current style) great video though!

my list as of now (keywords: as of now) 1. The Life of Pablo 2. Yeezus 3. MBDTF 4. 808’s & Heartbreak 5. Graduation 6. Late Registration 7. The College Dropout 8. Ye 9. JIK

1. College Dropout (This album has been my therapy since i was a kid, going to my shitty job and listening to Spaceship or missing my family while listening to Family Business ❤) 2. MDBTF (This album has my favorite Kanye song on it, I just love this album) 3. 808s (Is always on repeat for me during winter and the fall season) 4. Yeezus (Probably my most played Kanye album, its always on repeat for me at the gym, 3-5 days a week) 5. TLOP (This one has a special place in my heart, the nostalgia and the time this album dropped was when i was the happiest and i was with the love of my life) 6. Ye (The most underated Kanye album, as for someone that has always been told that i have bipolar symptoms this one gets to me and it has a top 3 Kanye West song according to me) 7. Graduation (Probably the most memories i have with a song is Cant tell me nothing and this one is always on repeat whenever i feel good) 8. KSG (I listen to this album just like 808s on certain occasions and it always gets me in a wierd but wavy place) 9. Late Registration (I hate that this one is so low on the list for me when songs like Hey Mama,Diamonds and Heard em say are here, the song i can relate to most by Kanye is Hey Mama❤) 10. JIK (According to spotify my most listened song 2020 was God Is and its actually my alarm clock, i dont understand the hate for this album. It always makes me wanna better myself) 11. Watch The Throne (Banger on Banger, there isnt more to say) 12. Cruel Summer (I know every single Kanye bar on this album on all his songs that he's in, it always get me hyped especially New God Flow)

jeez 19 features..good looking podcast

I completely agree with Anthony's ranking!

Graduation is his best project in terms of rapping and production

Picking your favorite Ye album is like picking a favorite child

This is my first time watching one of your videos. I like it but Anthony never shuts up long enough for Luca to talk Haha

I love you both and your dedication to hiphop I think my list looks more like Anthony’s on this one

Ye is so underrated. It’s a beautiful album.

Kanye has the best discography in the home , that’s a fact in my opinion

The life of Pablo is my favorite kanye album. It literally changed my life

Damn Luca and I have the exact same list and the fact that this is a Kanye ranking makes that pretty crazy to me.
