Still prefer YE by a hair, if only for:
I love your titties cuz they prove I can focus on two things at once.

Same.
I feel like I prefer “Kids See Ghosts,” but then I go back to “ye,” and it takes no time at all for me to remember that it is immersive and attention-grabbing in ways I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced in a hip-hop record before.
In theory, I kind of hate the entire idea of “I Thought About Killing You,” but in execution... goddamn, that shit envelopes you.
By the time he gets to that last, mega-distorted “PRE-MEDITATED MURDER” I am fully on board, and the beginning of the actual verse makes me want to spazz the fuck out.
I guess Drake contributed to “Yikes” in some way (Mike Dean is also credited, so who knows what he actually did songwriting wisse), but I don’t care. Drake knows how to make a hook, and that hook is epic. (Sorry, self, for the Drake compliment... I’m still with you on face-punching his face!)
“All Mine” is disgusting and there’s no reason for it. It’s the “I’m in it” of “ye.” But unlike “I’m in it,” “All Mine” contains THE CATCHIEST FUCKING HOOK EVER FROM JEREMIH!!! “Medulla oblongotta” bitch! Woooo!
“Wouldn’t Leave” is great, but not my favorite. Still great in its way, and harkens back to “Fankly Business.”
“No Mistakes” is... well, simply put, one of the best traditional rap songs Kanye’s made in a while. Great samples, great lyrics, great transition, tons to love. Like TLOP rolled up into one little sushi roll of a track.
“Ghost Town” is probably the best song of the year.
“Violent Crimes” is sappy but I love it. “Don’t you grow up too fast” has been in my head nonstop.
Funny how he caught flak for writing a song about being the “father of daughters.” I guess that’s a sign of lameness. Whatever. Makes for a nice closer.
“Ye” > KSG (if only by a smidge)
