Late Registration is The Chronic of the 2000s

[Walkman]

Kanye was the most influential producer of the 2000s. Just like when Dr. Dre released The Chronic in the 92' and other cats followed his brand of G Funk or idea of sampling Funk songs, Kanye's whole steeze was "the blueprint" for Hip Hop post 2005. There hasn't been a better produced album since Late Registration. Ye' raised the bar with this album.

Yeah the production on that shyt was flawless. I loved watching the making of it he put tons of work in. Roses my fav track :D MBDTF is up there with LR in terms of production tho, both are GOAT.

 

[BastardChild]

he needs to get back on this shyt..

but it will never happen

 

[MINT]

overrated

 

[prophecypro]

Why not College Dropout as that set the precedence?

 

[MINT]

just No.

 

[How Sway?]

808's might actually be his most influential album so far.

 

[Yoda]

yeah i can agree with that. every album is influental tho when it comes to yeezy.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Nah....

The Chronic defined an entire era and specific sound for a region for years....Late Registration doesn't even come close in that regard.


when you think of G Funk, you think The Chronic.

when you think of G Funk, you think The Chronic.

when you think "soul samples'' you think kanye in the new millenium.

^^^or Dipset, or freeway. Or supreme clientele. Or little brother. Or blueprint.



Kanye ain't bout shyt, really.

It's not even Kanye's most influential album. That award goes to College Dropout or even 808's. I will agree that Late Registration is possibly his best effort, but definitely no Chronic. Chronic was a cultural phenomenon in Hip Hop. That album pretty much jump started Death Row and was the foundation for Snoop as well as Dr. Dre as a solo artist. That album was pretty much "the sound" after it dropped. Everybody from OutKast to Biggie cited that album as an influence to their debut, which were also classic. Late Registration isn't even in the same realm in terms of significance and importance. The only thing that could be argued in LR's favor is quality.

As far as Kanye, he was one of the more influential producers of last decade, but definitely not MOST influential. There were several producers more influential than Kanye last decade.

Kanye and Late Registration are being overrated here.

Why can't it just be a good album? Right when you put that title it's going to become a dre vs ye or westcost vs chicago shyt. Late Registration Appreciation=thread title. Bam.
