This thread had me relistening to the album when I picked up on the verse in Hell of a Life

One day I’m gon' marry a porn star
We’ll have a big-ass crib and a long yard
We’ll have a mansionand some fly maids
Nothin’ to hide, we both screwed the bridesmaids

Be careful what you wish for brehs.

It's extremely overproduced, there's way too much going on on the songs.

Ye in general is overrated as fukk, but I'm chillin. No idea how anyone can consider him a top ___ rapper when he doesn't write all of his own lyrics and he gets outshined on every album

 

[The Beast]

that's probably the best verse on the album though. at least the best feature

The Ross verse isn't the best verse on the album i don't think, the verse was completely off topic and had nothing to do the track/concept of where Kanye was going with that just him talking the same old sh*t

Ross killed that shyt.

I just can't stand Ross.

Ross' verse on Devil In A New Dress is easily the best on the album and one of the best of the 2010's.

 

[TheSpook]

Had 5 good songs on it.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

It is a good album but not a classic. Late Registration is his magnum opus.

 

[SirBiatch]

fukk no. Sounds like an awkward cacophony.

exactly. The media blitz for this album was incredible. Same as GKMC. The "if we say classic enough times it'll stick" marketing

I would definitely say so. What makes it such a classic to me is the atmosphere, there is no other Hip Hop project I've heard that was as grandiose, or epic. It felt like a Hip Hopera. Matter fact, there were few albums as epic as MBDTF period. shyt felt like someone took an ancient mythological Epic poem and put it into a Rap album. Just a classic.

an epic poem about what? TMZ life?

You new cats are the king of hyperbolic statements.

Some off the top to me...

Me Against The World
Thug Life
All Eyez On Me
7 Day Theory
Capital Punishment
Edutainement
Sex & Violence
Can-I-Bus
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Reasonable Doubt
The Infamous
Illmatic
Ready To Die
Life After Death

If you're talking just 90's, just a few off the top...

Then close or classic...

E Eternal
Don Cartegena
Moment Of Truth
Hard To Earn
Daily Operation
Step Into The Arena
KRS-One

Is this a joke?

The only ones that are classic are bolded. Do you really think Sex & Violence or Can-I-Bus are classics? Not even close.

NONE of the albums in that second group even belong in the conversation.

 

[duncanthetall]

It's a classic for me. Don't see Kanye ever getting back to that level of pure creativity. Nowadays most all of his shyt just seems forced.

Maybe I'm just more jaded now

A few years ago, I remember buying into the media hype and bought MBDTF from iTunes. Talk about one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I tried to force myself to like but it was such a snoozer, the production value was embarrassingly low.

The only songs I liked were Monster (Nicki's part only) and Runaway. It became obvious to me that the album was getting a push primarily because kanye was against gangsta rap. ...

So The Coli, in your opinion, was mbdtf a classic album or just some bullshyt media push/fabrication?

Why did you just copy my post word-for-word? Get a life.
