hot take: like half these aren’t even that hot
Oh no you fucking didn't....give me Kanye's top 5 albums then.
since were talking music, heres mine
video game music is on average, better than standard music for a few reasons. it usually has no lyrics, so you can hear the actual music better, and its held to a higher standard, as it is often designed to be listened to for hours on end.

counter take: video game music is designed to repeat because you’re supposed to be doing something else while it’s playing. It’s a great silence filler while you’re laddering or just talking to friends on Discord, but as an actual listening experience, it’s pretty unfulfilling most of the time
also “it has no lyrics so you can hear the actual music” is possibly the dumbest thing I’ve heard anyone say about music in the last year and a half. The voice is an instrument like any other

literally everyone on the internet espouses this take with great regularity
I generally don't have a problem with vocals being used as an instrument but I consider that separate from lyrics (for which there's an emphasis on words rather than just sounds). I do find the latter distracting, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's for wierd brain reasons (what priority interpreting words is given and whether doing so requires enough effort that it can't be multitasked over).
Really? I remember having read like 10 years ago some Metacritic review or something that said that Shrek 2 sucks or something. Idk
The College Dropout, Late Registration, 808s, MBDTF, and Yeezus > Graduation
I agree with College Dropout, Late Registration, 808s, Dark Twisted Fantasy, but YEEZUS????? I like Yeezus a lot but no shot in the dark it's better than Graduation. I respect your opinion though.

Lyrics:
Ahhhh, ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh ah
AHHH AHHH AHHH ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ah ah ah ah ahhhhh
Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh ah
you will now be distracted when hearing the beginning of this song
Tbh I personally don't think that MBDTF is a top 5 Kanye album. Like it's good but I don't get the emotions or messages I get from Graduation, Late Registration, 808s, Yeezus or Life of Pablo. MBDTF is still better than Ye, Jesus is King and Donda (all three albums I REALLY dislike) but I think it's just below most of his other material
anything can be an instrument, and i love a good choir, but lyrics are not what i look for in a song. i want to hear the song, not the words that can go along with it. lyrics are a novelty that can be entertaining the first few times you listen to a song, but i dont listen to a song to hear someone say words. if i did, i would listen to poetry. if you enjoy lyrics, that is fine, but i listen to music for the music, not the words. there are exeptions, and i dont mind it if it is used sparingly, but lyrics arent for me.
Shrek the Musical is better than any of the Shrek movies
Shrek the musical was a fever dream and I loved every second of it
alright, but is shrek 2 better than the prince of egypt? which one is the second best dreamworks movie?
orange juice is gross.
I think it's because it's less sweet
Similarly, don't put sugar in lemonade. Just water, lemon juice and some herbs. Much better
Pulp enhances it greatly.
one of my hottest musical takes is that fall out boy's folie à deux >> mf doom and madlib's madvillainy
Folie à deux is by far Fall Out Boy's best album.
I don't know how much of a hot take that is, just needed to say that.
