With so much time to listen to music and an emptiness of no brackets in my life, I decided to go back and listen to every Kanye album, so I could make a bracket based on different phases of Kanye's career.
Some members of the committee weren't thrilled that the regions were divided by phases on Kanye's career because most of the songs from the "I Miss the Old Kanye" and "That's Why I Charge the Prices that I Charge" region probably would be easy first round games for other songs, but it had to be done to give a broad look his career.

The Houston Rockets, riding a three-game road winning streak, head to Salt Lake City on Thursday night to take on the Utah Jazz. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. EDT.
Team outlook
Houston (47-26) sits second in the Western Conference and has been dominant in recent weeks, winning nine of its last 10 games. The Rockets have thrived in blowout situations, going 21-9 in games decided by 10 or more points.
Utah (16-57) has endured a rough season, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. The Jazz have lost nine of their last 10 and are just 7-39 against conference opponents. Despite their struggles, they remain a strong team on the offensive glass, ranking sixth in the West with 11.9 offensive rebounds per game, led by Walker Kessler’s 4.6 per contest.
Key matchups
Kessler has been a bright spot for the Jazz, averaging 11.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game. Collin Sexton has also stepped up recently, averaging 14.1 points over the last 10 games.
For Houston, Alperen Sengun continues to shine with averages of 19 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. Dillon Brooks has also been on a tear, hitting 3.1 three-pointers per game in his last 10 contests.
By the numbers
- The Jazz average 113.6 points per game but give up 120.1, a troubling disparity.
- Houston allows just 108.8 points per game in its last 10 contests, a major reason for its recent dominance.
- Utah’s 13.9 made three-pointers per game could be a factor against a Rockets defense that allows 12.1 per contest.
Injury report
The Jazz will be without several key players, including Lauri Markkanen (illness), John Collins (ankle), Taylor Hendricks (fibula), and Jordan Clarkson (foot).
The Rockets list Amen Thompson as day-to-day (ankle), while Reed Sheppard is out with a thumb injury.
With momentum firmly on their side, the Rockets will look to keep rolling and take care of business against a short-handed Jazz squad.
