>Tfw Kanye failed us by dropping a shitty 2016 album >Tfw

Kanye thought he could shimmy away with JDillas mystique post-death, Jay's light was too methodical so he dipped to the current underground waves to mask his lack of ingenuity. Eventually, he couldn't make anything by himself and tried to cordon off himself as a contemporary Berry Gordy/ Quincy Jones of Hip-Hop/ Rap. Unfortunately, he has mental problems and the layman is figuring out his trajectory. It's the same tired cycle of shock and awe without backing up any of his outlandish comparisons of himself of greats that came before without putting in the footwork by himself in the same caliber of the craft. He could have shut his mouth not have ever had do deal with any of the bullshit he brought on himself.

Kanye peaked at MBDTF. He's 40 now don't think he has much left in him

TLOP is an amazing album stop bandwagon already. ""ol kayne"" bandwagons should just go jump a cliff already. Kanye is way better rapper than Kendrick. Damn is good but nowhere near great as TLOP.
TLOP > Damn

lmao TLOP shits all over DAMN.

I don't know about that but they both good albums desu

worst things about these kinds of threads is no matter how you dice it, both sides are just shit posting back and forth

anyone who thinks DAMN is even the best hip hop album of first half of 2017 is kidding themselves. TPAB is one of the best of the decade but DAMN.... hell no

The Life of Pablo is better than DAMN.

>rap

Kendrick is only 3 albums in Kanye has released over double that. When Kendrick has another 4-5 albums under his belt then see where he is then. You could be making the same statement with a different artist. I.e. Why has Kendrick fallen so hard, and this artist who has half the albums and hasn't been around as long King. Kendrick next 4-5 could be back to back terrible albums or not who knows. You can't really compare at this point. Also TLOP is better than DAMN.

>Kendrick is only 3 albums in

4 albums anon, not even counting UU

Everyone already said it but TLOP absolutely shits on DAMN

>>73719113
damn is pretty overated. dna is alright but nothing more.

TLOP was legitimately great. You personally may not have liked it but it was an objective critical and commercial success. Plus Kanye is 40, and rappers can't really "fall off" once they hit their late 30s/early 40s because at that point your rap career should basically be finished anyway. His legacy is beyond secure, even without TLOP. Kendrick is 10 years younger than Kanye, rationally, he should be the one in spotlight. If hip hop allowed tons of 40+ year old rappers to dominate the game the genre would become stagnant and irrelevant in short order.

It's the greatest rap banger in existence, you cant refute this.

>>73717009
DAMN is literally Kendrick covering TLOP.
