I'm by no means a Kanye fan but having multiple albums from different artists all drop in the same week with you having the majority of the production credits is a pretty great feat.

Dropping a long album (the 2pac comparison) is not anywhere near the same. And yes I like that album better than all of these albums that are dropping recently but you can't discredit him because you don't like his music style. I'm seeing all 4 albums on year charts already which has to mean something..

I was thinking, is Kanye even mainly a hip hop artist? Because his albums don't even sound remotely similar to Tupac or Biggie.... maybe we should have a separate pop rap category or something...

I meant month but hell the month Tupac released All Eyez On ME thats 4 LP's of vinyl plus out takes used on subsequent albums That was better to me and thats without digging into it to deeply. Eazy E had a month where he had a couple things happening between himself and some artists. Puffy had some good months not that i think he's all that either as an artist but he picked she good talent same with Suge who wasn't an artist but had some months with multiple acts at the top of the game under his wing. I admitted it could be because i think Kanye blows as an artist so i am far from unbiased.

Nasir I listened to and i like it a lot not even close enough to consider it the best month in hip hop. you can like something and still not think its the best ever. I have also heard The bulk of Ye at a friends was not impressed but like i said i generally don't like his albums.

And don't forget KTSE, which I haven't had the chance to hear yet. Five albums in a month is a pretty big move, even if they are <30mins. These albums have pretty much cemented me back as a Kanye stan, despite the crap he spews on social media. I'm so glad we're moving away from this 3 year wait between albums that seemed to be the norm 10 years ago.

Which of these albums have you listened to? He doesn't even appear as an MC on the majority of songs here.

I've rated the ninth 90/100. Too basic for a 95

Pretty dominant...

This is the type of thing you need to analyze when determining the greatest month... I'm guessing that who ever invented hip-hop had the greatest month until something like this happens

To be honest, I have not heard any of those, maybe should check the Nas. How about the greatest week? In one week Marley Marl produced Eric B is president and My Melody (Eric B & Rakim), Make the Music With Your Mouth Biz ( Biz Markie) and The Bridge by MC Shan. Not a bad weeks work!

June, 2018 was a phenomenal month for Kanye West. But let's be honest, he might have pulled off the greatest month in the history of the genre. Ye and Kids See Ghosts were both acclaimed to some degree by fans and critics, and his work as a producer and collaborator on Pusha-T's Daytona and Nasir by Nas is worth noting as well.

Has there been a month's worth of releases by one artist (in hip hop or otherwise) that compares to what Kanye just did? Obviously I don't want to be a prisoner of the moment, but I can't help but be impressed especially given the months of drama leading up to Yeezy's return to music.
