Kanye West’s Fans Honor The Anniversary Of ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ By Debating His Best Album
Getty Image People were divided on whether the 2010 album was his overall best. …
Ten years ago today, Kanye West dropped his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It arrived at the backend of a tumultuous point in his career, filled with headline-making moments, like his 2009 MTV VMA incident with Taylor Swift. It produced many unforgettable moments, such as Nicki Minaj’s incredible verse on “Monster” and Kanye’s performance at the 2010 MTV VMAs. A decade later, fans took to Twitter to celebrate the album and answer one question: Is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Kanye’s best album?
Yes. This genuinely feels like the culmination of so many parts of hip hop into one perfect project. It tells a beautiful story, the features are perfect, it's littered with iconic moments and devil in a new dress and runaway is the greatest two track run ever in my opinion.
