Not everything from this project was a knockout success, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a blast listening to these. After hearing the final album, I compiled a list of my favourite tracks to jam on one concise mixtape. Let me know your thoughts. What were your favourite tracks? What would a mixtape by you look like? | | 1 |  | Pusha T
DAYTONA
If You Know You Know | | 2 |  | Kids See Ghosts
Kids See Ghosts
4th Dimension | | 3 |  | Nas
NASIR
Bonjour | | 4 | | Pusha T
DAYTONA
Hard Piano | | 5 |  | Teyana Taylor
K.T.S.E.
Issues/Hold On | | 6 |  | Kanye West

Violent Crimes | | 7 | | Nas

No Mistakes | | 11 | | Pusha T
DAYTONA
Infrared | | 12 | | Nas
NASIR
Simple Things | | 13 | | Nas
NASIR
4/5 - My personal favourite of the 5. I'll concede Nas' flow is a little awkward, and yeah, the lyrics are occasionally cringe, but god damn the production on this thing is great, and I like Nas' antics in honesty. "Simple Things" and "Bonjour" will both feature in my soty list. | | 14 | | Pusha T
DAYTONA
4/5 - Almost as great as NASIR, but held back by a couple tracks ("Come Back Baby", "What Would Meek Do?), overall this is fire though. Pusha T's enthusiasm and energy is infectious, and he goes harder than anyone else on this project. | | 15 | | Kids See Ghosts
Kids See Ghosts
3.5/5 - For many, this is probably the best of the 5. I get it, and I really enjoy it too, but feel like "Fire" and a couple others hold it back. There's also this tendency to overplay hooks ("Reborn"), and it's occasionally really cheesy ("Cudi Montage"). Still, this one has the most variety to offer, and lots of memorable hooks and beats. | | 16 | | Teyana Taylor
K.T.S.E.
3/5 - I actually had high hopes for this one after the first 3 tracks. "Gonna Love me" and "Issues/Hold On" are both extremely slick, sexy and soulful tunes. The guitar melodies in particular are absolutely sublime, and the samples tie in beautifully. Unfortunately, it all starts to blend together after that, sounding like homogeneous, commonplace R&B jams. None of it is as bad, but nothing's as stellar as the opening trio. | | 17 | | Kanye West
ye
3/5 - For the first time ever we have a Kanye album that doesn't feel huge. Love him or hate him, his albums usually contain several career-defining highs, but for the first time, I'm having a hard time picking a song that stands up to the best in his catalog. Maybe Kanye's been spoiling us too much. Still, in saying all of that, "No Mistakes" is one of my most played tracks this year. It's immediately nostalgic, sounding like a cut that wouldn't be too out of place on College Dropout or Graduation. | |

06.25.18 | I know I left off a lot of fan favourites. I'll prob get flamed for opting for "Infrared" over "Santaria" or "Games We Play", which are also dope af. Hard to compile a short 12-track session from these that flows well. | Rowan5215
06.25.18 | see we had the same idea yours was just a lot shorter lol. nice picks | Gyromania
06.25.18 | Oh shit you made one too? My b man lol, thought I was the first | Rowan5215
06.25.18 | in fairness I pretty much just rearranged them in an order I liked, yours is more like an actual album with the 12-song runtime | Storm In A Teacup
06.25.18 | Im in the process of doing this same thing. I like this one as well. I have No Mistakes opening the Ye 18 album then in Kanye style I have Cops Shot the Kid as the second song which I feel serves as a Stronger or Power type song in the sense of it being polarizing. Then the third is 4th Dimension. | Sharkattack
06.25.18 | I love that you have cops shot the kid but I hate that you don’t have these are the games we play. | Storm In A Teacup
06.25.18 | Agreed with Shark. Games We Play is a middle of the album banger on mine | iglu
06.25.18 | the beat is dope | Gyromania
06.25.18 | Good stuff guys. Games We Play is indeed a dope ass song. Might add it to this but I enjoy the current tracklist I have | Hawks
06.25.18 | Pusha’s album is one of the best rap albums I’ve heard in the past few years tbh. Nas’ album is really great too. Gotta hear the others still. | Switchez
06.25.18 | Hook to Reborn is one of the greatest of the whole series imo | Gyromania
06.25.18 | I do enjoy that hook, I would probably like it far more if it didn't overuse it tho | butt.
06.25.18 | "There's also this tendency to overplay hooks ("Reborn")"
But your top song is If You Know You Know? I can't listen to that song anymore because it's sooo damn repetitive. However, your 2 and 3 I'll agree with. 4th Dimension is probably the best song in the series and Bonjour is super underrated | Gyromania
06.25.18 | It isn't my top song. I never said I was ranking songs, that's just a playlist I threw together of the songs I enjoyed most. Bonjour and 4th dimension are both top 5, if I'm ranking them | butt.
06.25.18 | Ohh, my misunderstanding.
Still, it's at least as repetitive as Reborn | JeetJeet
06.25.18 | Give me everything off KSG, every song off Daytona except Hard Piano, and Yikes off Ye. You can keep everything else. | JeetJeet
06.25.18 | Santeria, Infrared, Fire, & Cudi Montage are some of the best songs I've heard this year. | Gyromania
06.25.18 | Santaria is great, fire and cudi montage are meh tho. | butt.
06.26.18 | Infrared would be one of my fav songs this year if it weren't for the terribly annoying sample in the background the entire song. "Infrared...yeah...you know what I MEAN?" x200. Ugh I can't stand it | Gyromania
06.27.18 | I actually like that sample and feel like it isn't prominent enough to get grating throughout. If you removed it itd be pretty dull | Sharkattack
06.27.18 | Agree with gyro | RadioheadIsOverrated
06.27.18 | KTSE is far worse than anything else here imo, but other than that I can totally see your picks. I thoroughly enjoyed NASIR, just not as much as my top 3. | Gyromania
06.27.18 | yea ktse ended up being pretty disappointing on the whole. speaking of disappointing, the meta score for nasir blows ass | juiceviaorange
06.28.18 | I just got KTSE but the first 4 are excellent. I agree, I don't get the hate for NASIR, the beats are arguably the best out of this whole project | Gyromania
06.28.18 | glad to see more love for nasir around here. that metacritic score is baffling to me | Storm In A Teacup
06.28.18 | White Label is fire Fantano is wrong | Gyromania
06.28.18 | i seldom find myself agreeing with fantano but i like him regardless | juiceviaorange
06.28.18 | I rarely find myself agreeing with him either, but I do find him entertaining. Loving these 5 albums; such a great lil 36 song mixtape on shuffle. Bangin' shit |
