The Life of Pablo deserves Album of the Year at the Grammys. I don’t care what anyone has to say. From start to finish, it’s just brilliant. From "Ultralight Beam" to "Famous" to "Waves" and the very last song "Fade," Kanye can do no wrong.

The entire album was put together beautifully. It flows together so smoothly like poetry. It’s amazing. Let’s start from the top and work our way down. I'm telling y'all my top 10 favorite, okay? Okay.

1. "Ultralight Beam"

From start to finish, it was a gospel song. It was an innovative version of a gospel song. He had The Dream, Chance the Rapper, Kirk Franklin and Kelly Price on the song with him and everyone had their time to shine perfectly. The choir in the background was absolutely sensational.

2. "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 and 2"

I put these two songs together because they flow so well together. The first part was just fun, you can get hype to it or just chill. Kanye sampled "Panda" by Desiigner and basically put Desiigner on the map. The crazy part is when you would listen to the album without looking you'd think it was the same song.

3. "Famous"

This is the controversial song that had everyone talking. This was just a giant media frenzy. Did Kanye sleep with Taylor and all this stuff. Well it was all dumb. He had Rihanna on the chorus. The video was long but it was brilliant.

4. "Feedback"

I really just like this song because it's just cocky. It has a lot of messages in it. Kanye is just lyrically insane. The beat is just fire, he just murdered it. Listen to it, it's explains itself.

5. "Highlights"

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THE ALBUM. He featured Young Thug on this song and it was completely fantastic. His famous line was "I bet me and Ray J would be friends, if we ain't love the same b*tch, yeah, he might have hit it first, only problem is I'm rich, uh."

6. "Freestyle 4"

While doing my research, I didn't know Desiigner was on the vocals. Well, this beat is just insane. One of the best beats on the albums. Tyler the Creator and A$AP Rocky did a remix. This was just completely innovative.

7. "I Love Kanye"

There was absolutely no beat on this. It's crazy because he didn't even need a beat. It was insane. He basically ended everything with Kanye but it worked. Did that s*** with no beat because Kanye don't need no beat and still ate that.

8. "Waves"

I couldn't find a gif to represent "Waves" so here's a gif of Kanye staring. "Waves" is just a monstrous song from the very beginning. Chance the Rapper actually helped with this song and he has Chris Brown on it too? Fire.

9. "Frank's Track"

ONE OF THE BIGGEST SURPRISES. Frank came out of nowhere and made a special appearance on Kanye's album. It was only about 40 seconds but it was just fantastic and exactly what we needed.

10. "FML"

This was a collaboration that was going to happen eventually. The Weeknd voice is just magical, Kanye just knew. The Weeknd's whole approach was nice, the beat was very simple. That's what made it better.

Those are my top 10 favorites, I know. I'm missing great songs like "Low Lights", "Real Friends", "Wolves", "30 Hours", "No More Parties in LA", "Facts", "Fade", and "Saint Pablo". But that's the crazy part, there is so much more. He collectively put together a fabulous album that deserves to have the honor. Yes, Lemonade, The Coloring Book and Views which were good albums but no one can touch Kanye. He did his fashion show collection debut and introduced his album at the same time. F***ING GENIUS. The Life of Pablo definitely deserves Album of the Year at the Grammys and that's all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
