Rolling Stones - MMLP2 #24 On 2013 Best Albums

[yoda you can call me]

so i've decided to put my hatred for kanyes personality aside and finally listen in depth to his discog, just to see what all the fuss is about, only thing is, i've just gone through site after site of dead links for College dropout..
so if anyone could hit me up with a working link, that would be dope (cant do torrents coz my internet provider has blocked them all)

"College Dropout" is an absolute classic. Top 5 in my favorite albums of all time. The musicianship/production/lyrics are on a whole different level than "Yeezus".

Hope you get a link to work.

thanx.. i may resort to buying it if i can't get a link

[Emadyville]

honestly...bullshit

Honestly, I never got the love for College Dropout. I respect your opinion and I'm not gonna be ignorant and shit like that, I just never saw it as a classic album.

I think MBDTF is his best album be a decent margin. He had released 808s and a lot of people were questioning where he was going because it wasn't your typical Yeezy. He then pulled off the infamous VMA shit and was getting mad hate. He ditched the US for a while and knew it was the most important part of his career. He needed to come back with incredible shit or he was going downhill. He obviously put a lot, and I mean a lot, of time into MBDTF. The production...wow. The lyrics were top notch. He made a very close to perfect album. Classic tracks on that album. LR is just so unique. There's something about it that gives off a classy feel, yet you still get classic Kanye. It's a great mix.

MBDTF >> LR >> Grad > CD > 808s > Yeezus

(in my opinion)

I just find it funny that these magazines love Kanye when he's a terrible lyricist and rapper. If content and production is all that matters now, then all you have to do is sample old music and talk about topics the media likes to be dope?

I blame Jay-Z for all this.

I respect your opinion. CD and LR are incredible. "College Dropout" was way ahead of its time though. Nobody was doing the shit he was doing then, and nobody has done it as good since -- despite the imitators. That's as close to a perfect hip-hop album as you can get, in my opinion.

Edit: Listen to "2 Words". Does hip-hop get better than that? The violin bridge? Lyrics/production of that joint is so hard to top. My favorite hip-hop song of all time.

@yezz1r i got a link for the album and listened to it earlier on, it seemed to be a contrast of great tracks and bad tracks. and his lyrics weren't that tight throughout the album tbh.. it was ok, some great production, but not consistent... onto late registration next..
sorry for going off topic peeps

Yoda you wrong. Keep in mind, that album was released over 10 years ago.

Concept? Man, come on. Don't confuse yourself. Good luck.

[yoda you can call me]

concepts, ideas, meanings, all that shizzle.

I've heard it. I'm not as big of a Kanye fan as I am an Eminem fan, but I'm a huge fan. I've heard all of his songs, minus a few leaks probably. I didn't listen to College Dropout when it first came out...I really got into Ye' right before Graduation dropped. I don't have an account on KTT (and very rarely go to that website), so I'm not sure what other Kanye fans think. Maybe it's an album you don't truly appreciate unless you listened to it in it's time. CD has a lot of tracks I really dig. Not the best on the album, but I really, really like Never Let Me Down. I think Two Words is a really solid track.

I find Kanye albums really come down to preference at the end of the day. Eminem albums are really black and white. Most would agree his best two albums are MMLP2/TES, then place SSLP followed by MMLP2/Relapse. Then Recovery...then Encore.

Kanye's are all over the map because literally all of his albums sound 100% different from the following one. Not saying Eminem puts out two very similar albums, but Kanye's are literally so different.

Yea. We were only talking about 2 of his albums though, not Em's and Kanye's discography.
