Quick question on kanye

[westsidekreidy]

Whats the big deal with his album? Like the source gave it five mics but to me it's not great...I've listened to a ton of way better albums so why's the different? Kanye is on the album for like 20 minutes total, rest is features/samples. He's had three albums better then this MBDTF, shit don't make sense to me. I'm a big kanye fan too, i have all his albums besides 808.

I just don't see the big deal, it's not a masterpiece by a ways, so why is it so rated? Anyone feel me on that?

Oh god, I can see Almostlity now

"You butthurt because Kanye's better than Em?"

^ wut.

on-topic, it's all about opinions.

[Rash J]

Definitely agree. I've listened to the album and while it's very good, in my opinion, it's very overrated as well.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

the music is amazing,but my 80 year old grandma can rap better than kanye,no hate.

im a big kanye fan,and late registration and graduation blow MBDTF out the water.

You are gonna miss out on a near classic because someone on a message board said it sucks? k.

I like very much Gorgeous.Great song.Love it.
But overall isn't so great album.
The College Dropout his best album easily imo.

Anything 'different' that's bad (808) gets more criticism than it should cos it could've been avoided.. Anything 'different' that's good (MBDTF) gets more praise than it should cos the artist took a risk.

[KillahBee]

This album reminds me of Stankonia , loved by critics but not a huge success with hip hop heads...Personally its the best album I've heard in ages

[westsidekreidy]

I mean, there's gotta be like more then half my CD collection that I can say I like better then MBDTF... five stars in the source just baffles me

Well I'm a big Kanye fan and like the album but agree and have said it since it dropped, the over-rating / reaction to this from critics is absolutely absurd.

It's not even close to a masterpiece, it doesn't have enough underlaying direction or artistic aim beyond indulgence, to be a masterpiece. 808s is closer to a masterpiece than it, and I don't say that to majorly insult 808s as that is a fucking good album. Despite people's face-value perception(s) of it.

MBDTF is just really good, but there isn't a single revolutionary or massively original idea on the entire album, so how can be what they're pretending it is. The music is great yes, we know... but Kanye's lyricism... I actually think he's underrated as a lyricist but didn't show much growth in that department on here and had many better rapping spots on Graduation.

Aside from the ambitious production and of course, visual representation... it's a pretty standard affair. It's just Kanye's passion which bleeds through, you can feel how much he cares about every inch of it. But passion alone doesn't make it a classic.
