Chicago. Ye. The producer who became the rapper who became the auteur who became the avalanche. 'The College Dropout' (2004), 'Late Registration,' 'Graduation,' '808s & Heartbreak' (which retroactively rewrote what mainstream rap could sound like), 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' (2010, widely considered one of the best albums of the 21st century), 'Yeezus,' 'The Life of Pablo,' 'Donda.' The 'College Dropout' through 'MBDTF' run is one of the all-time runs in any genre. Everything since 2018 has been complicated by mental-health crises, antisemitic outbursts and political alignments. The catalog and the catalog's complications exist on the same page.
