Yeezy! That's bae.

1. The College Dropout
2. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
3. 808s & Heartbreak
4. Yeezus
5. Late Registration
6. Graduation
7. Watch the Throne

- tbh, I should rank MBDTF above TCD, but the fact is, it's such an amazing introduction to him and all his themes and neuroses that even though he topped it, I can't forget my first. It's amazing how 808s really left people thrown at the time of its release and how influential it turned out to be. Simply put: There would be no Drake and so many others without it. Not me though! I loved it upon release and love it to this day. "Robocop" is one of my favorite songs ever. Kanye is one of the greatest artists of our time.

1. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2. Late Registration
3. Yeezus
4. The College Dropout
5. Yeezus
6. 808s & Heartbreak (this has ended up being perhaps his most influential)
7. Graduation
8. Watch the Throne

You loved "Yeezus" so much you ranked it twice.

LMAO! Good catch. I was debating whether to rank it above or below TCD because I think Yeezus is more ambitious but TCD has a few more songs I like.

I keep seeing all these posts/articles/videos of Ariana Grande doing wonderful impressions of other singers like Mariah and Celine, but the bitch needs to find her own voice and not be so robotic. She actually has a decent voice but she's incredibly vapid and void of personality.

Boo.

It's a recurring skit on Jimmy Fallon's show. Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera have also done it. (And Aguilera made similar social media rounds for her Britney Spears impression).

Even though it was for a skit, Raybee's point still stands

[Raybee]

I'm aware of the skits. The emphasis was on the latter part, yes. lol

I loved her Tribeca/Brooklyn comment. Lol

Is it just me or has it been really slow lately for new music? It's been a long time since I've gotten anything new.

^ Yes. That's why "UF" is still #1. It feels like the top 10 has been the same forever.
