[Nostalgic]

Corrected.

You get no argument from me on this one.

I agree

 

[Ashtrey]

Interesting...I fukk with your musical taste bruh, you weren't feeling the vibes eh?

I listened to the singles Love Lockdown, Heartless, Amazing, Welcome To... but the album cuts were instant skips for me.

I can dig it...for the most part the best songs were the singles

@maxamusa

the lyrics on "I'm In It" are immature as hell but i always admired the production and he and his co producers switched the beat up near the end and how he sampled Latimore's "Lately"

also liked Bon Ivers vocals on it.

yea yea has always had some cringy bars.....


"Ive always had a PHD..... "

 

[I love Latina women]

"Ive always had a PHD..... "

Like that line

 

[Screwface Exchange]

Dis album help mold and bring his future hendrix

 

[Iceson Beckford]

One of the first albums I bought on my Ipod Nano I got that year for my 9th Birthday

There are some really good songs on this, but the three Kanye albums that dropped before were better. This is one of those albums that's classic based on impact and influence.

"Why are you so Paranoid?"

 

[Budda]

The album that gave birth to Drake's career.

Bullshyt Drake was buzzing before it came out and Best I Ever Had sounds nothing like this album.

This.

However, 808's was a big influence on So Far Gone, which is the tape that blew Drake up. What often goes unsaid is that 808's wasn't the ONLY influence on So Far Gone.

[KnowledgeDropper]

At some point, we are going to have to wrestle with the idea that Kanye has/had one of the best runs ever

College Dropout
Late Registration
Graduation
808
MBDTF
WTT
Yeezus

I thought 808 was fine, but appreciate the impact it had more.

 

[DraymondT]

Everyone talk about influence and impact Ye had with this that really changed rap and its true..... But lets not leave out the big Cudi influence on this from production to writin and of course this startin everyone takin TPain style and runnin wit it lol nikka was heated

I remember Kanye giving T-Pain credit for this album because he consulted T-Pain before making it.
