      @@NFRPodcast the hype was crazy. Everybody was on Kanyes side when he was competing wit Fifty for the number one album. I also remember me & my older cousins were hanging out on their porch and they were bumpin the album from their iPod plugged into some crappy speakers lmao. All the Chicago radio stations were playing the new Kanye songs nonstop (it was almost impossible to escape the hype). Favorite moment out of all of this was when the video for Homecoming dropped. Me & my cousin were so psyched watching it since the music video was filmed 10 minutes from where I lived at the time. I remember watching it with my cousin & being mesmerized by the black & white visuals & Kanye walking by iconic landmarks like the bean & the Millennium Park Amphitheater. Kanye really showed a lot love to the city during that time. I’ll never forget those days & wish I can go back & relive those moments :)

    808s & Heartbreak is an album I was mild on at the time it released aside from the big singles like Love Lockdown, Paranoid, and Amazing. I didn't get the concept but knew it was something different. Over the years it's grown into one of my top Kanye albums. It's so hard to place the album but to me it's above MBDTF which I like but was one of the few people who didn't really feel like it was Kanye's best work. I appreciate all the work and creativity that went into MBDTF but it would probably be number 5 to me. 808s is number 4 but it's a hard call. Ranking these albums is tough because they are all very unique and distinct. I like every Kanye album so they are all number 1.

    My Top 3:
    *1: MBDTF -* It’s very consistent, diverse, and a perfect combo of emotional and hard hitting songs. The production is incredible and the features keep a fresh sound on every song for me.
    *2: Kids See Ghosts -* Short, sweet and to the point. Kid Cudi kinda kinda carried it tho.
    *3: Graduation -* Some of the most uplifting music you’ll ever hear. Every track is an anthem for someone.

      As for monster I can see it being a weaker track due to not having much meaning, but it's very catchy, and is a fun song to bump every once in a while. Still a very strong song imo even on it's own.
