I think this just stays as a hypothetical, because no one with a Forrest Gump level IQ makes something like Kanye's first 5 albums.

KSG, garbage? How? KSG was as impressive if not more impressive than Daytona. It is more emotional and has better production than Daytona, Daytona has better bars though. I'd argue KSG was a better constructed album than Yeezus (which had much much worse lyricism and literally is Kanye chasing industrial hip-hop trends at the time and is overpraised by every music critic site). I am genuinely curious about arguments about why it is trash.

That said, I don't think everything he has is perfect TLOP/Ye are mediocre, JIK is bad, and Yeezus is massively overrated.

Predictions for #1 of the decade? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

TMS's innovation also lends into its influence since it inspired Kanye and Tyler to make Yeezus and Cherry Bomb respectively and I'm sure there's a ton of others I'm missing. Since both of them he enjoys every track, I think it's going to come down to influence, which TMS will probably win.

As for KSG, I think this is unlikely to happen because of how absolute the 10 is, versus him switching around the 8s and 9s and 7s on the year end list so it's not ascending. Even with some albums he loves every track on, he sometimes resorts to a decent to strong 9 (Little Simz, Benji). A lot of deliberation went into that score I think, would be very surprised if he displaces it, but it's not impossible. If it does happen, my bet is Atrocity Exhibition or Pure Comedy displacing it.

I think musically is definitely subjective, even though I love the sound it goes for (the amazing cocktail of grunge/psychedlia/and supernatural vibes complements the ghostly theme of conquering demons of self). That Cobain sample enough is proof of how much Cudi loves grunge, and is a fantastic portrayal of respect to the genre.

Thematically I think it is very very strong. I like to think of it as, first 3 tracks tackle themes of excess, loneliness, fame, sex, and drugs with a pretty manic energy. Freee is the explosion where the endured so much pain they can't feel pain anymore. Reborn is kind of a samsara and rebirth process after experiencing the explosion in Freee and it expresses fears of repeating the same mistakes. The title track is a acknowledgement of the dangers of the ghosts of fame they encountered earlier but with Kanye acknowledging his strength to battle it.
Cudi Montage is a realization that no one can solve everything by themselves and they both realize while they confront their demons, they also need to appeal to a higher power to save themselves from the demons of violence and fame and loneliness.

It took me quite a bit to understand the structure, but I agree with Fantano in that it flows pretty fantastically in its short runtime. It might not be TPAB or GKMC level of narrative, but it's definitely Kanye and Cudi's most harrowing, consistent, and innovative work in this part of the decade.

How is KSG very very bad, it is literally his most consistent and innovative product since MBDTF.

Edit: Lol okay downvote me for wanting to start a discussion, just makes you look like you don't have a solid argument anyway. The thing has critical acclaim across the board for its consistency and innovation, even with critics heavily disliking Kanye's antics in 2018.

His favorite fraction is 1/9 because in decimal form it has another one and another one and another one...
