My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West (2010)
“One of my absolute favorites, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is Kanye West’s best work of genius. Released in 2010, after one of the most public backlashes in pop culture, the album feels like both an apology and a coronation. Kanye paints a theatrical portrait of himself that leans fully into his ego, insecurity, lust, and shame. He positions himself as a villain and victim, a genius and a disaster. The title says it all; it’s beautiful, dark, twisted, and undeniably his fantasy. At its core, the album explores the fracturing and self-destruction of his fame. The album displays monumental orchestras and production. Soul samples are layered precisely and drums hit with heavy cinematic weight. The album is very maximal, yet it remains cohesive and perfectly dramatic. Overall, a flawless record from one of the most enigmatic artist of our generation.”

Top 2 Kanye for me personally and the this album would’ve been a perfect 10 if the end to the album was as strong as the rest of the album. Again, an absolutely incredible album from Kanye and his production shines big time on it. The start studded feature list ofJAY-Z, Pusha T, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi & Rihanna all do their jobs perfectly as well and really make the album what it is. Just another piece of genius from Kanye West. Top songs from the album are ‘POWER’ ‘All Of The Lights’ ‘Monster’ ft JAY-Z, Nicki Minaj & Rick Ross ‘Devil In A New Dress’ ft Rick Ross ‘Runaway’ ft Pusha T ‘Gorgeous’ ft Kid Cudi & Raekwon ‘Dark Fantasy’
