Chris Rock said that Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is "the best album in the history of hip hop." What do you think about that? Is it even the best Kanye album?
Personally, I prefer College Dropout and it wouldn't be my choice for best in the history of hip hop (if you know me, you'd know I would go with a Wu Tang group or solo album). However, I still recognize that MBDTF is an incredible piece of work with sounds and samples that blew me away when I first heard them. "Devil in a New Dress" might be my favorite Kanye song too (the sample and the Rick Ross verse are magic).

It's definitely in the discussion and I'd go as far as saying it's on the shortlist for best albums ever, period.

I'd say so, it's within my top 5-10 albums in general. It's pretty astounding.

Dark Fantasy isn't even my favorite Kanye album (though "Runaway" is, in my opinion, by far and away his best song -- and one of the overall best of the century). None of his LPs beat College Dropout for me, and I might prefer Late Registration and Graduation to MBDTF as well. Still, it's a pretty magnificent work.

Tough, but for my top 5 hip hop albums right now I would go: Wu Tang Clan- Enter the Wu (36 Chambers) Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Nas- Illmatic Lauryn Hill- The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Mobb Deep- The Infamous What about you, Ibbi? |

We share one  I like 36 Chambers, but I think I preferred Wu Tang Forever, and I do love Miseducation. Not heard the other two. Tough to narrow down for, but probably... No Way Out The Blueprint Straight Outta Compton By All Means Necessary Illmatic Honourable mentions to Black on Both Sides, It Takes a Nation of Millions, 3 Feet High and Rising, and 2001! |

tbh Danny Brown's last album is 10 times better than anything I've heard from Kanye.

tbh Danny Brown's last album is 10 times better than anything I've heard from Kanye. Yup. I like Kanye well enough, on a song to song basis, but I never understood the hype surrounding his albums. Most are good, but not THAT good. I'd rank all of Danny Browns albums above all of Kanye's albums. |

:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-897888-1438518319-3542.jpeg.jpg) I don't mind 'Dark Twisted Fantasy', but it wouldn't make it on my longlist I don't think... I do prefer his first two albums (and even Graduation as far as repeat listens), but appreciate that it's a less sample-reliant effort from West than those works. The song arrangements stand on their own. Probably his most 'artistic' effort, if not his most immediate, infectious, or successful (IMO). |

Listening to it today, it's crazy how everything Kanye was rapping against he's become today! Oh and now that I look at my list I might replace one of those albums for Ghostface Killah's Fishscale or Supreme Clientele. The storytelling on Fishscale is pure brilliance. |

Its really really good but I'd go with some of the older hip hop albums as the best tbh. Outkast's Aquemini comes to mind .
