This might be quite possibly the worst Kanye song ever

This is an unfinished demo that leaked.

Does that even count?

He does not even sound motivated in the song, even with finished lyrics it would be an unmotivated mess

As much as I love College Dropout, the New Workout Plan was absolutely atrocious

Workout Plan was funny and catchy and the beat fu#king knocked.

Breathe Ik Breathe Out was the only mediocre song on College Dropout.

Ye got a solid worst hits album at this point

Idk why people hate breathe in breathe out. It wasn't a bad song, better than school spirit (that hook was bad) and workout plan

U aint heard yeezuz?

So does every rapper.

That’s not true.

I should've clarified by saying "most," not all.

There are a scant few exceptions: Outkast and Big K.R.I.T. from your list.

Biggie, obviously, but he only released 2 albums. Dre has only released 3 in 30+ years, and there is mediocre filler all over the back half of 2001. Kanye has released 11 albums (most of them very good) in 15 years.

Kendrick's stuff pre-Section 80 was almost entirely forgettable/average.

Redman, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Big Daddy Kane all released forgettable/weak albums in the back halves of their careers.

My point is that you'd be hard-pressed to find more than a handful of rappers who have a big enough discography where you wouldn't be able to cobble together an album's worth of sh1tty music. And Kanye West's hit-to-miss ratio is pretty good... most of the weak stuff he's made he's released in the past five years. He had an unbelievable batting average for the first 10 years of his career, which is when most rappers release their best stuff, anyway. Comparing his first decade to most every other rapper's firsts, and I'd probably take Ye in most situations.

First decade was legendary while the second half is filled “ghetto techno” type bad records especially in comparison to that first decade run.


I haven’t seen a Rapper with more consecutive duds on albums since Eminem.
