Slightly mentioning Kanye is bad news, the stans prowl every corner of the internet..

It's easily the most progressive hip-hop album since Yeezus.

There's a lot wrong with this opinion and I'm not sure where to really start

1. Yeezus isn't really that progressive
2. This is not that progressive either, but it's still good
3. Atrocity Exibition is better than both, and actually has a sound that could be considered ""progressive""

I think a lot of people play hypeman to the Next Big Thing that they become so disillusioned to remember something can sound really good without it being groundbreaking. Mixing UK Garage and Rap isn't the sound of the future, that's been done already by The Streets (In 2002)

Man what the hell are you smoking? Yeezus is extremely progressive and it's baffling to me that are still people in this world who don't understand the magnitude of that album. Nobody in mainstream hip-hop has every done anything like it before. They're definitely a lot of people in the underground that have had similar styles, but they didn't do it like Ye did.

It's wasn't just simply the sound that made it so unique. It was the overall approach. A lot of Yeezus was raw samples. On Site, Black Skinhead, Blood On The Leaves and Bound 2 notably. This combination of simple construction, industrial and electric influences, and honest and identifiable lyrics is what arguably makes it the most progressive album of all time.

Let's also not forget the influence. After Yeezus, a lot of artists took a lot of stabs at the conventional and risky release. Beyoncé with self-titled or Kendrick with To Pimp A Butterfly comes to mind. Bon Iver, Travis Scott, and a lot of the production of modern trap like Young Thug, Future, and Migos have also been greatly impacted by the album. Experimental, dark production is coming up in the hip-hop world the same way Drake and Kid Cudi came up during the emo-rap wave of 808s that's still relevant today.

Anyway I could go on, because I haven't scratched the surface of the surface yet but I won't because I'm not sure if you're just trolling me or worth the time.

I know a lot of people like Atrocity Exhibition but it's not as progressive and forward thinking as Big Fish Theory. It's just an experimental hip hop album with really unconventional beats. Big Fish Theory is an album that took an entirely different existing genre of music and applied it to hip-hop.

Look man I used to really love Kanye back in like 2013 but I outgrew my stan phase and don't appreicate him as much sorry if you felt it was personal

[Bomberman]

Also you're grandstanding for a lot of contemporaries but don't talk about artists that are under the surface of what is publicized and known

Young Thug, Future, and Migos

Oh my god lol

I (personally) do not see big fuss about Yeezus, and this is coming from an 18 year old at the time who thought it was greater than sliced bread when it came out. Maybe if I gave another listen I could see your points, but the fact remains and the biggest glaring problem for me is the fact Kanye's bars on that album are straight garbage. Are the beats unconventional from an artist who has limelight in the mainstream? Definitely. I can see the argument made from that perspective, but when you dig a bit deeper it just ain't all impressive to my ears.

Blood on The Leaves/Black Skinhead/New Slaves are still good though

pedit: This picture is still brings the lol to this day

"Eatin Asian pussy all I need was sweet and sour sauce"
"Get this bitch shakin like parkisons"
"I fuck you hard on the sink, after that get you somethin to drink"
"I just talked to jesus, he just said 'what up yeezus' I said shit im chillin, tryna stack these millions"
"In a french ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissants"
"I keep it 300 like the romans, 300 bitches, where the trojans"

There's just too many hit and misses for me, but at least lines like these have novelty

[Bomberman]

No I.D's production carries that album, in my opinion.

Been in a jazz rap mood lately

[Bomberman]

I've never been a Tyler, the Creator fan up until this moment, but his new album is rly special fellas

[Bomberman]

I never tried Bastard or Wolf. I viewed the OF craze from the outside
