    TLOP is easily his weakest lyrically. Though that wasn't the point of the album.

    Wtf low lights and silver interlude are... Interludes. Not songs.

    And smh at putting real friends in dope tracks but freestyle 4 in fragment s---
    And even more smh at saying the lyrics are one of the weak points of the song

    Weaker than Yeezus?
    Wait. Is this even a point of contention?
    There's nothing wrong with this album being experimental and avant-garde. That's one of its greatest strengths. The mixing, tracklisting, vocals and other details just needed refinement.

    A mistake on my part. I was thinking of a few weak Kanye verses on MBDTF, but when you factor in Gorgeous, Dark Fantasy and so on, it's really clear that MBDTF is far better lyrically.

    Yeezus has bar after bar on every song.

    TLOP seldom contains complete verses from Kanye. There's usually only one on each song, if that. Not many memorable lines either.

    Agreed

    But better than On Sight, Black Skinhead, New Slaves, Hold My Liquor, Blood on the Leaves, etc? No way
