MBDTF got all the accolades that Late Registration SHOULD'VE gotten. There
was just something infinitely
special about that album, it came at a perfect time period, was so lushly and sonically perfect, had all the markings of a classic album from the catchy playfulness of Gold Digger, the stark melancholy of Heard EM Say, the triumphant joy of Touch The Sky (with Lupe Fiasco announcing himself Chicago's future) the Ferocity of Crack Music, the Somberness of Roses, the MAJESTY of We Major ( With The God Nas again showcasing his ability for boding guest verses) the impressive showmanship of Diamonds Are Forever (with a supremely arrogant Jay-Z rapping as if he were sitting on a Golden Throne doling out gems to beggars) That album is one of Hip Hop's greatest examples of a musical classic.
