    cudi gets major props for 808's, him and kanye should've been what jay and Ye became.

    Yeezus grew on me bruh. I listen to the whole album at least twice a week. It really has the same effect 808s had on me. When I first heard it it was like: "this that ? ". Then I got a chance to actually hear the album with no distractions. It's a 4/5 to me.

    Kanye isn't a rapper (in the general sense); he's an artist. The artist grows, you either follow or you don't. You either enjoy the changes or you don't. I am quite certain that he can make another College Dropout/LR/whatever former album you love again if he wants. I just believe that he wants a new sound on each album, to evolve as an artist. I think Kanye is the closest comparison to a decades-spanning group/artist as you can get right now- you may not love everything from him but he will always give you something different. While I didn't love everything from Yeezus, I can't wait to hear what comes next.

    I don't think fallen off. His music has just taken a different direction. I don't like the new music he's made (anything after MBDTF) for the most part. I still think MBDTF is dope, but I forget he released the GOOD music compilation (Cruel Summer) and there's some songs on Yeezus that I don't care to ever re-visit again.

    Lyrically, I think he's fallen off horribly. Musically and artistically, I think his career has been a constant climb.

    Yeezus was not a bad album but it makes it seem like he's fallen off a bit. I know the talent is still there, he just has to motivate himself to do better next time. Production of Yeezus wasn't great and his lyrics seemed a little lazier compared to past albums but I know the talent is in there

    I think he is too pre-occupied with himself at the moment to focus on his music but make no mistake that man is an artistic genius.

    Every 1 has an opinion but he has yet to fall off actually he's gonna be up there in goat discussion when it's all said n done. Hate him love him don't matter he's a talented dude n a smart business man. His personality is part of what makes him appealing n appalling. Ye is the most polarizing rapper since pac really. I remember u either hated or loved pac when he was alive, hardly an in between. Same thing with ye imo. They say things that are true but they don't come off sensible all the time. Love that he's unfiltered but sometimes u be like damn I wish he kept that 2 himself he going to far. I respect it cuz we need mainstream stars not being pc all the time n pushing buttons cuz they got that outlet 2 say it right or wrong they should use it while people care 2 listen

    Yes he definitley has 808's, Watch The Throne and Yeezus were terrible albums. He never was a good song writer or had good lyrics. His best asset was always his Flow and his ability to sample. He has fell of as a producer as well. He hasn't made a classic album since College Dropout

    hyperbole much?

    The answer is obviously no. His last album was one of the best reviewed albums of the year and his previous was one of the best reviewed albums in history.

    Below average rapper (not even top 50 GOAT rapper)

    Decent Producer from 2001 - 2007 (Not even top 20 GOAT Producer)


    1 classic album with College Dropout

    3 good albums with Late Registration, Graduation, MBDTF

    2 terrible albums with 808's and Yeezus
