Absolute certified masterpiece without a single miss, and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to rewrite history.
This was the beginning of one of the best five record runs in music history: College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808s and Heartbreak, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
It's a shame that Kanye then immediately decided to take his millions of dollars and retire to live happily ever after with his beautiful wife and children, and disappeared from the public eye permanently to never be heard from again. Really a shame, but at least he left as a well-respected musician with an entirely uncontroversial legacy.

I want to acknowledge the moment that's been circulating online, and the disappointment it's caused.
What was supposed to be a night of music and joy turned into a deeply personal mistake playing out on a very public stage. I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.
This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I'm taking time to reflect, to take accountability, and to figure out the next steps, personally and professionally. I ask for privacy as I navigate that process.
I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's life into a spectacle.
As a friend once sang: 'Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.'"
