Rating: 7/10 
Favourite Tracks: Wouldn't Leave, No Mistakes, Ghost Town 
Least Favourite Track: All Mine 

On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Kanye West which was released this month on the 1st June 2018. It's the eigth studio album by Kanye West called "ye". 

Kanye West is a Chicago rapper, singer, songwriter and a record producer. Kanye is one of my favourite rappers. I first discovered Kanye back in 2005 with a track from his second studio album "Late Registration". The track was called "Gold Digger" which is featuring 'Jamie Foxx'. I first heard this track when it was being played on the radio and I enjoyed it. Kanye is one of those that has the best discography in hip hop. Fantastic and brilliant albums such as "The College Dropout", "Late Registration", "Graduation", "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and many more. Despite Kanye can be crazy at times he is still an important figure to the hip hop scene and will always be. Kanye had loads of records deals he would have signed at the time such as Capitol Records but they decided not to sign him. Instead he was signed to Roc-A-Fella records. Discussing about his discography he has released his eight studio albums. "The College Dropout" his debut studio album my favourite Kanye album it's his best selling album with 3,358,000 copies in US. It was certified 3x Platinum in US while in the UK it was certified 2x Platinum. I really love this album He has the best flows on this album I love the tracks "All Falls Down", "Jesus Walks", "Through The Wire". "Late Registration" his second studio album another great album it's another classic from Kanye. It was certified 3x Platinum in US while in the UK it was certified 2x Platinum. I love the tracks "Gold Digger", "Drive Slow", and "We Major". "Graduation" his third studio album. Despite I do not listen to "Graduation" that much I thought it was an alright album. It was certified 2x Platinum in the US while in the UK it was certified 3x Platinum. I love the tracks "Champion", "Stronger", "Good Life", and "The Glory". "808s & Heartbreak" his fourth studio album. This album is alright it was more electronic and more auto tune. It was certified Platinum in US and in the UK. The tracks that I liked were "Love Lockdown", "Paranoid", "Say You Will", and "Coldest Winter". "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" my second favourite album from Kanye. It's another masterpiece album from Kanye. I love
the track "Power" it's freaking awesome. It was certified 2x Platinum in US. While in the UK it was certified Gold. The other tracks I liked were "Goregous", "All Of The Lights", and "Runaway". "Yeezus" his sixth studio album which in my opinion is my least favourite Kanye album. The track that I liked was "Bound 2".  "The Life Of Pablo" his seventh studio album. It is so much better than "Yeezus". The tracks that I liked were "Famous", "Father Stretch My Hands", "Real Friends", and "Wolves". Which brings us now to his new album his eighth studio album "ye". Since hearing his new album what did I think of it? I thought it was a good album I had a feeling it would not be that good but it turns out Kanye delivers a good solid album. I feel like this album should have had more tracks I do not understand why it's a short album.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Wouldn't Leave" The production was alright it's a decent track. Kanye's flows were alright it could have been better but it was alright. "No Mistakes" I liked the backing vocals on the track. Kanye's flows were great on this track. "Ghost Town"this was another good track definitely his best track on the entire album. My least favourite track was "All Mine" which is a mixture of trap rap and hip hop. Which in my opinion did not go well on the album.

Overall I thought this album was good. This album should have had more tracks even though it was a short album. I would give this album a 7/10.
