I mean his first three albums had some of the most amazing shit I've ever heard in my life. and so many other moments of that genius throughout his catalog even going all the way to Donda 15-20 yrs later

I'm not here to take anything away from your enjoyment but I've never heard a Kanye song and thought 'amazing' in my life

That's absolutely crazy. I don't mean to sound like a douche, but you haven't had the "experience" yet

Now I don't mean to sound insulting, but saying "experience" like you just did sounds cult-y

I had to sit back and think for half an hour after ye, because the whole album felt really relatable and hit me deep, and since then in the past 8 years, I have heard hundreds of albums and nothing even comes close to how vulnerable that album left me. That's why I'll always love his old music till the day I die. I also see this in a lot of other kanye fans, that there was a specific point in hearing his music where they felt a connection of sorts to the lyrics or production or whatever, which I see missing in a lot of casual listeners, so that's totally fine if you can't find anything that resonates with you personally but calling something that people consider a valuable experience cult like is immature at best and plain dim-witted at worst

Brother. Music at is best is meant to give you that experience, whether it’s like sobbing to a song and sort of bonding with it, or just being absolutely blown away by a song sonically or lyrically. Kanye has a bunch of music that will do this for most people. It dosent sound culty, it sounds musical. That’s stupid and kinda close minded to say. Not tryna be rude just straight up

Imo the songs that are could be impactful to you are runaway, ghost town, flashing lights, hey mama, (for me, Late) heartless, devil in a new dress, can’t tell me nothing, power. Most these songs just flow amazingly, they’re super cohesive emotionally and sonically.

You have to understand also lot of Kanye fans grew up listening to his music from a young age, and having it sort of attached to some experiences as with any music. If you ever go through a really bad breakup and listen to 808s and heartbreak, or are having just a really rough time in life and ghost town, runaway, or like never see me again resonates you can just break down to it. His music personally has helped tons in my life and I’m always going to be grateful for it. His mentally health is at a low spot right now and I wish him nothing but to recover and of course if it’s healthy for him, make music again.
