bump
Andrew Brooks
What's considered "high art" though? What strandards must it meet to get this consideration
Dylan Morgan
Caleb Hughes
nothing else user, this is his magnum opus album
Christian Allen
youtube.com
Pure audio and visual art.
Chase Stewart
Charles Lee
Unironically: Kanye's 'Famous' video.
Sebastian Brown
No it's not MBDTF isn't even at good, it's over hyped, even Kanye thinks so.
Jordan Gray
Then what is? Yeezus? cmon user, stop being a contrarian
Hudson Ramirez
Jayden Clark
It's not contrarian. There's nothing innovative about it, it's just Kanye backtracking.
His best album is Pablo followed by 808s.
Parker Morales
Late Registration is probably his best.
I have the feeling that he's the Thom Yorke/Radiohead of rap, where he realizes that he struck creative gold early on and that his first three albums were his artistic pinnacle, objectively speaking, and everything since has been him trying to play with the formula to see what he can get from the new sounds/ideas without the pressure of trying to top what he already knows was his best work.
TLDR: College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation are Yeezy's Pablo Honey, The Bends, and OK Computer, and are likewise his strongest work objectively speaking. He knows this, and everything else he has done since has been Kid A/In Rainbows/King of Limbs-tier experimentation.
Dylan Thompson
his best album is College Dropout you plebs
Wyatt Gutierrez
Saying Kanye's worst is his best.
Saying Tom York or radiohead are even good, let alone innovate or interesting.
Parker Jones
ooh, quite the spicey one we have here
Jason Sullivan
If anything i'll opt out for LateReg being his best
Angel Price
No.
Gabriel Diaz
objective kanye west ranking:
cd > 808s > lr > mbdtf > grad > pablo > yeezus
Adam Cook
I really like the 'the less I know the better' music video, but I was tripping the first time I saw it so maybe I'm biased.
Gavin Bennett
Dont be upset user, what are your top 3 kanye songs
Xavier Brown
this one is probably the one that comes closest tbqhwy (to be quite honest with you) OP
Jordan Gonzalez
Putting yeezus last? are you from sweden or something?
Liam Wood
>high art
wew
Jackson Cooper
this ranking is just about perfect for me actually
Ethan Perez
>death grips lite: the album
ye is complete fucking garbage when he's parroting existing trends in hip hop, and poorly
Landon Stewart
and Runaway is middle brow anyway, not 'High Art'. just like the FKA twigs video I posted
Benjamin Torres
On Sight is a more abrasive and experimental beat than anything death grips have made, lost boys and hot head come close
Xavier Price
No
Pablo>808s>Yeezus>Graduation>CD>MBTDF>LR
Street Lights
Lost in a World
Guilt Trip
Ian Jackson
>OP sees 5 X 5 thread
>Sees MBDTF
>Looks it up on YouTube
>Sees this video
>"Wow that was so artsy and avant garde! I'm going to make a thread about it!"
This is why this board has gone to shit. Fuck you
Leo Williams
Kanye thinks he's an aesthete, but his taste (porn stars, luxe signifiers of high/white society) is mundane.
Joshua Reed
Death Grips aren't the first or only artist to do experimental hip hop. Stop comparing a good artist to your meme bullshit becuase it's the only thing you know.
Nicholas Young
Benjamin Mitchell
Runaway will never be topped maybe other albums are more consistent but none of them has something close to runaway
Anthony Reed
Fucking this. Runaway's video is "high art" to someone with little to no experience with art.
Ian White
lol
>cd that low
get out nu kanye
DUDE BLACKIE LMAO
like no shit ppl have done death grips before death grips but obviously that's where ye got the ideas from.
Alexander Martin
agreed, the new video is the best thing he's done since MBDTF, the song and the album are still shit though
Carson Bell
name something better
Josiah Miller
What makes the video good? He took someone else's idea and inserted his porn star friends into it.
Ethan Wilson
808s > Yeezus > LR > MBDTF > CD >>> Grad >>>>> Pablo
Julian Campbell
Alright those three songs are sweet desu, you have my love
Hudson Rogers
Samefag here.
Also, ANY of Peter Gabriel's videos from the 80s, and most of Kate Bush's videos too, all mop the floor with any "art" that Kanye has tried to come up with.
Wyatt Bennett
I wasn't even talking about Blackie. I was talking about people like Moodie Black, and Antipop Consortium
CD is okay but it ages poorly, people only like it becuase of the Nostalgia attached to it. I'd rather listen to Kanye's more innovative stuff. Why would you get hung up on an artist's first work which is usually their objectively worst becuase they haven't had time to create and craft a sound. Yeah CD has some classics like Through the wire and All Falls Down, but Kanye's New stuff is far better. He has a great ear for melody and isn't afraid to try something new.
Elijah Bell
>I'd rather listen to Kanye's more innovative stuff.
that's literally what cd is though? even if you were a little babby boy in elementary school when it came out, it was one of his most innovative albums next to 808s. nothing about his new shit is innovative. he hasn't broken new ground since 808s, and yeezus/tlop are particularly "whatever" with respect to breaking new ground
Joseph Sullivan
I get what you're saying and I get that soulbeats weren't a big deal yet but at the same time it's a sound that got beat to death, and while I respect him for it I simply don't think it's his best work, yeah it's innovate too but it's not his best.
For their context Pablo and Yeezus are both ground breaking for a mainstream artists. Nobody was doing hyper aggressive stuff before Yeezus. And Pablo is filled with Gospel samples and has a sense of abstractness which is yet and still something really daring for a mainstream artist. Mark my words gospel will be the next wave for the next two years, don't believe me? Listen to Chance's coloring book.
Lincoln Bell
Yeezus is his best album.
