After comparing two of his biggest albums, the artist formerly known as Kanye West said he thinks The Life of Pablo is better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. 

Amid one of his now extremely common rants on X, Ye announced to his fans his opinion on his two bodies of work. 

The life of Pablo is waaaay better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” he wrote. “Go song for song.” 

Ye shared more detailed thoughts about My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy elsewhere in his rant when he revealed that he really doesn’t like that album. 

“I hate My Dark Beautiful Fantasy Like haaaaaate that album," Ye wrote. "I made Dark Fantasy out of fear and to prove something it was as like 'coming back from the Taylor Swift moment' I should have just leaned in more."

He didn’t hate all of it, though. Ye revealed that his favorite songs from the album were “Blame Game” and “Devil in a New Dress.” He also cryptically posted, “If I just had ten more minutes that one time in the studio with Beyoncé” without any additional context. 

Then, he followed that up by saying that he “obviously hates Jay-Z.” 

The lengthy number of people that Ye manages to antagonize with his rants grew longer after the Game angrily spoke out against him for being upset he supported Top5. 

After Ye posted, “Why Game who I gave two Maybachs to is showing love to Top 5 who calls threatening to kill me. Welp I guess I’m not gonna be executive producing that album anymore,” Game hopped online to fire back after explaining the situation.

“N***a you asked me did I know Top 5, I said yea… you said he was threatening you & I asked you if I you wanted me to rouch [sic] out to him..you again said 'YEA,'” Game wrote. “So I hit Top 5 & tell him to let it go.. Out of respect for me, he agreed.. I texted you to tell you it was done & you changed ya number n***a !!!!”

After posting on X, the Game addressed Ye in an even longer Instagram caption. “F#CK you & yo maybachs little [ninja emoji]” he wrote. “I’ll be back in LA in a week, come get em yo self !!!!

“I ain’t never asked yo weird a%% for nothing & when you gave me the cars, I said you ain’t have to & I was good but you insisted,” he continued. “Then you hit me with the ‘you ain’t never gotta worry bout nothing ever in your life, I owe you for being the only solid [ninja emoji] outta everybody.”
