as far as the 10's go, is my beautiful dark twisted fantasy the best hip hop cd we've gotten so far?

[OGBobbyJohnson]

It's not even just the lyrics. The damn album is incohesive as fukk. nikkas sayin that it's "meant" to be like that. Yea I bet. Dude was tryna find all kinda different inspiration for the album and the album actually sounds like the result of him throwing shyt at the wall hoping it sticks. Which is what he been doing for the last year or so. There's just so many random things going on u can't even get in the right groove without it throwing u off. shyt is a mess.

That too..I really think dude has too many yes men around him & it sounds like that because he has too many damn people involved in his albums now..I been a fan of his since forever but I don't remember his first 3 albums having that many people involved in the creative process..I still think Late Registration is his best album when he worked with Jon Brion who scored motion pictures..it was a perfect mix of raw hip hop & orchestral elements..Not too overproduced like TLOP

There were people in that thread saying Drake cant top this for AOTY..I'm not even a Drake fan like that but at least i know his ghostwriters are gonna bring bars
Drake & Ye stans in 2016 are literally like this

 

[Dushane Hill]

No,

Reloaded by Roc Marciano is.

 

[RegB]

how come Marcberg is never mentioned in the best albums on the 10's discussion.. roc marciano made a classic album damn near by himself in his bedroom..

honorable mention to:
Run the jewels 2

 

[Harry B]

Yes slightly ahead of GKMC, TPAB, RTJ 2.

Not to me, heard many better albums including Distant Relatives by Nas and Damien.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

no.

i don't have love for it like that. its oddly unlovable. it doesn't seem like kanye made it for ppl to love. seems more like he made a monolith to bludgeon his myth into pop culture. i can see why its respected but i can't see why its loved.

Agreed. I hated MBDTF. And it has absolutely no replay value at all. It was definitely a vanity project and I really don't understand why people like it so much

 

[Buckeye Fever]

huh? Over Purple Rain?

yeah

 

[Mac Casper]

I can't hate on such an assertion, let me have some time to think of it

 

[JustCKing]

But that's how people feel about MBDTF.
I mean you do know that right? Hence why they proclaim it to be a GOAT album.

It's magazines that proclaim MBDTF to be a GOAT album. Are you really telling me that MBDTF has songs on it that like these where they are still nearly inescapable:

What's Going On
Inner City Blues
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
Billie Jean
PYT
Beat It
Thriller
Higher Ground
Living For The City


^^^ I'm not talking about songs that Kanye fans or critics who ride Kanye feel are great, I'm talking about songs that people know even if they don't like the artist or are really up on their music like that. Even writers have stated that Kanye hasn't made one of those iconic songs.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

I'm so sick of this album being so overrated. It's good, classic even, but it lacks something that I can't quite put my finger on.

Also, gorgeous is a repetitive dud track that kills all the momentum Dark Fantasy builds up.

I would put GKMC, LiveLove, XXX all above it easily

It lacks soul. I call it Frankenstein music. A bunch of parts stitched together with no soul. That factor affects the sound quality. Kanye's music has been soulless from MBDTF up til now. It is sonically pleasing but it doesn't make me feel anything.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Was disappointed then and I plain don't give a fukk about it now

Never felt the need to revisit it.

Absolutely no replay value on that album and it's not aging well

i think most ppl think reloaded is better (along with a couple of ka's projects) n marcberg (unreasonably) gets overlooked coz

tell u what is overlooked: pl3dge. best thing killa kil done this decade

also saigon's albums (especially gsnt2 tho 1 is better) never get the props they deserve

naw, a vanity project is that life of pablo bullshyt he just put out. my beautiful dark twisted is a great album in terms of his catalog. but it's not some "greatest of all time" type shyt. just a great album in terms of ye's catalog

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

That shyt is not the consensus opinion. It's only stated by delusional Kanye fans. And fukkin hipsters. It's already bad enough nikkas try to act like it's this all time great hip hop album. But putting it side by side with Thriller is something only retards like Chris Rock would do. But that shyt DEFINITELY ain't the majority opinion. Do a worldwide poll and that shyt would get blown out of the water. It's just pure ignorance to even consider that shyt.

Calling MBDTF one of the GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME?

They've all been vanity projects since MBDTF. MBDTF put us on this path
