    Tsk. Man, i agree.

    Graduation, i'd argue, is one of the weaker & more tame Kanye efforts (still amazing, but weaker), but TLOP is d--- near mixtape tier. No cohesion, lots of filler, & a vast majority of the songs just don't feel that standout-y, a s--- ton of them feel too...safe (FSMH 2, Waves, Highlights). Some even forgettable (f---ing Facts & NMPILA, despite the dope bars on the latter).

    Regardless, i STILL enjoy the f--- outta TLOP, but the album is dead last in Ye's catalog for me. Grad beats it.

    TG16 season comin tho

    yeah i love tlop but idk where it ranks to be honest. last or 2nd last. hopefully he keeps updating it over time tho so that it serves some sort of artistic purpose outside of just being a lackluster project lol

    Also Flashing Lights, Good Morning, The Glory.... I feel like people forget about how good Graduation is. TLOP has some great highs as well, Ultra Light Beam has got to be one of my favourite songs in a long time, but I got to agree that Grad is better.

    Graduation is seen as his weakest album by a lot, I honestly think an album with songs like Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Good Life > tlop (the official version, so not counting OG songs)
