Amidst the tumultuous tides of financial setbacks and lost brand deals, Kanye West finds solace in the unwavering support of his fans. While fortunes may fluctuate, his fandom stands as a steadfast pillar, unyielding in their dedication to the influential artist. As a beacon of cultural influence, West’s impact extends far beyond the realm of music. His massive following, known as stans, knows no boundaries. From soul-baring lyrics to boundary-pushing musical innovations, his art connects on a deep level.

Once again, West’s devoted fans have demonstrated their unwavering loyalty as a post revealing the greatest hip-hop albums list surfaced on Twitter. Surprising many, the top five albums were from none other than Lil Nas X. He is the talented American rapper renowned for hit songs like ‘Old Town Road,’ ‘MONTERO,’ and ‘Industry Baby,’ among others. However, fans of the genre appeared disappointed with the ranking, expressing their sentiments about the unexpected selection.

Among the crowd of fans, a substantial portion comprised of devoted followers of Ye, who appeared particularly disheartened by the selection.

Despite Ye’s tendency to keep his fans waiting for new releases, they remain perpetually captivated by his music and continue to hold him in high esteem.

The Twitter post created quite a spectacle as Ye’s fans quickly flooded the comments, passionately defending his music. The chorus of complaints about Lil Nas X’s selection only grew louder than more and more of Ye’s devoted followers sided with their favorite artist.

Fans have only one name for the greatest albums list and it is Kanye West

West fans were abuzz with the realization that Lil Nas lacks a repertoire of classic back-to-back albums similar to West. Ye’s impressive series of albums include, ‘The College Dropout’ (2004), ‘Late Registration’ (2005), ‘Graduation’ (2007), ‘808s & Heartbreak’ (2008), ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ (2010). On the other hand, Lil Nas has yet to achieve such a streak of iconic albums.

Some fans indirectly suggested that Kanye West’s first five albums were superior, while humorously pointing out that Lil Nas X’s albums charted in the top 5. It’s worth noting that Lil Nas X gained widespread fame with his hit song ‘Old Town Road.’

Fans even went so far as to argue that only West truly deserved that top spot. While acknowledging Lil Nas as a talented artist, they firmly believed that he falls short when compared to Ye. Lil Nas once took part in the Kanye v. Drake debate, wherein he agreed that West is the better artist.
