What am I not understanding about MBDTF?

You CAN NOT be that stupid.
These (" ") are called quotation marks, and they contain the text being quoted, which was "what? have I ever...".
Did you type out a sentence containing those words? If not, then no, I wasn't talking to you. You fucking half-wit.

You see the quote button and you decide not to use it and use quotation marks instead? why? to distinguish yourself?

'half wit?' really? feels

[kkaniff]

Yeah, I over reacted a bit, sorry about that.
I can't quote or edit posts on my phone.

not reading any posts before this so fuck it.
personally, for me, this album is one of my top 5 of all time. the luscious production along with kanye's clever lyrics and emotion make the album amazing. the features on the album are placed perfectly and make sense. nicki minaj's verse on monster is the best thing she will ever write, rick ross on devil in a new dress is perfect. the album isn't about being gritty or extra lyrical, its about making excellent music and it pulls it off in a great way in my opinion

I miss you breh

dont know why dead prez always uses than and you're incorrectly, lol, cos he always comes so nice with his arguments

[SliK]

Simply put, this album is not for losers.

Basement dwellers will never understand.

[kkaniff]

It might come as a bit of a shock to some of you, but "only basement dwellers won't get this album" or "only geniuses understand this album" aren't actually valid arguments.
Seriously, it isn't as if it is a hard sell, MBTDF is a brilliant album but when it comes to defending it's place among the very best EVER made, y'all resort to childish jabs and "you won't understand"s.
Incase y'all didn't know, these are the factors that matter in any OF ALL TIME argument;
1. Sales
Let's use Writers as an analogy, on the list of the greatest books of all time, you'll find Chinua Achebe's Thing's Fall Apart. Brilliant book, but was it the best/most critically acclaimed African novel of even that time period? No. But it's one of the best selling books of all time.
Is Shakespeare the best writer of all time? No. But he's widely considered among the greatest writers who ever lived because of the popularity of his works.
Is Harry Potter the best contemporary British novel? Fuck no. But it's among the greatest.
Do y'all see the pattern here?
2. Impact on the culture.
I'm talking lasting impact, not memes that die out after a couple of years.
Twilight was wildly popular some time ago, nobody really gives a fuck about it now, but Harry Potter is still considered a modern literary classic.
...
MBDTF, while brilliant, doesn't have much of the above.
Take note that when we're talking about the GOAT albums, we're projecting far into the future, some of the albums y'all are shoving down the list in your rush to place MBDTF above them, have stood the test of time. Twisted Fantasy hasn't.

[kkaniff]

That really isn't much of a rebuttal, you know.

[dead prez]

So please hammer don't hurt em is a classic because it's still selling like crack cocaine in Compton.


Also sales has literally nothing to do with being great it's a literal logical fallacy... You pulled what makes being great out of your gaping anus and the criteria for such is entirely self serving. Sales only indicates how well something is marketed not the quality of something.

[kkaniff]

-Nope, but U Can't Touch This is one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time.
If sales were all that was needed to say an album was classic, then I would be calling Recovery one.
- Also, this is the dictionary definition of great; "unusually or comparatively large in size or dimensions".
It isn't much of a stretch to see sales as being a large part of that.
...
Also, "gaping anus"?, you use some rather colourful language for a girl.

[classthe_king]

no the definition you would be looking for in this case is: "of ability, quality, or eminence considerably above the normal or average," you fucking retard
