It received a score of 94 out of 100 from the review aggregator website Metacritic, which is the 4th highest score of all time for any hip-hop album. Almost all the critics were profuse in their praise for the great album. However, its critical reception is what made it truly distinctive. MBDTF became a big commercial success and earned the admiration of all its listeners. It was so good that even the hatters of Kayne acknowledged his genius. Everyone was mesmerized by the brilliance of the work. This was all the more incredible because West’s public approval rating was very low when the album was released. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold an unbelievable 496,000 copies in the United States. It was released on November 22, 2010, and instantly became a hit among the general public. The famous American rapper went into exile in Hawaii after the incident and there he worked day and night to produce My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, his self-described “apology record.” However, his response to this setback was praiseworthy. Even ex-president Barack Obama didn’t hesitate to call him a “jackass”.
It spawned a million memes and did irreparable damage to his reputation. Embarrassing the beloved singer-songwriter on national television by saying “Taylor, I’mma let you finish, but Beyone had one of the best videos of all time!” brought a huge negative reaction. However, his previous successes couldn’t save him from a huge public backlash when he interrupted America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs.

His subsequent releases Late Registration (2005), Graduation (2007), and 808s & Heartbreak (2008) increased his reputation as a musician.
Kayne West’s debut 2004 album The College Dropout earned him critical and commercial success.
