Hans album blev ”My Black Dark Twisted Fantasy” utsågs till 2000-talets bästa album av världskända GQ herrtidningen.
Deras motivering:
”It could’ve been any one of the seven albums West released this century, as fascinating a catalog of celebrity, triumph, love, loss, terrible puns, pretty decent puns, that was ever f***ing put together by a single artist.
MBDTF was just the record where he talked about all those things at once – a portrait of a man seizing the spotlight, drowning in it, and then somehow finding a way to turn that harrowing experience into art.
Anybody who wants to be famous or make music for a living – or do both at the same time – should be forced to listen to MBDTF first.
The rest of us are free to enjoy it for the bloody, hard-won, titanic achievement that it is.”
Ganska stort att vara rankad så högt.
Han kom före Jay Z med ”Blueprint”, ifrån 2001, som kom på 12:e plats och Outkast som kom på 3:e plats, med deras album ”Stankonia”, ifrån 2000.
