In the site's list, the Chicago rapper's 2018 album 'Ye' snags No. 1 as it's dubbed 'the beginning of the most disastrous artistic and personal collapse in the history of popular music.'

AceShowbiz - Rolling Stone has unveiled the list of 50 Genuinely Horrible Albums by Brilliant Artists. Describing the list, the news outlet dubbed it "Epic Fails" as the artists included in the list don't only come from one genre.

Kanye West was picked to be at No. 1 in the list for his 2018 album "Ye", which the publication claimed that it "marked the beginning of the most disastrous artistic and personal collapse in the history of popular music."

"They are certainly the worst works of his career, and it would be easy to pick 'Jesus Is King' or 'Donda' as the single lowest moment. But we're going with 2018's Ye because it marks the beginning of the most disastrous artistic and personal collapse in the history of popular music," the site wrote.

It continued, "Clocking in at a mere 23 minutes, the chaotic, half-baked album was cut in Wyoming right around the time he told TMZ that slavery was a 'choice' and started wearing a MAGA hat in public."

"The uproar over his slavery remark caused him to rework many of the Ye lyrics over a frantic two weeks shortly before the album dropped," Rolling Stone added. "Which explains screeds like 'Just imagine if they caught me on a wild day/Now I'm on 50 blogs gettin' 50 calls/My wife callin', screamin', say, 'We 'bout to lose it all.' ' The Kanye scandals of 2018 seem almost quaint compared to his recent issues, but he's never made music less vital than this."

Ye is the only hip-hop act in the Top 10. Other hip-hop albums included in the list was Lil Wayne's 2010 album "Rebirth" which took the No. 24 spot as it was described as "vocally challenged genius stuck in limbo." Meanwhile, Run-D.M.C.'s "Crown Royal", which was released in 2001, snagged No. 27 for being "a colossal bomb."

The site additionally placed Outkast's "Idlewild" at No. 46. It called the tape the product of a "creatively exhausted duo" that were "desperate to go their separate ways." Also being criticized were some big names such as Prince, Madonna and The Jacksons.
