Agreed, best Hip-Hop album dropped prolly in the past 5 years off the top of my head
One year ago today, Kanye dropped a classic...

Real talk, I think this is seriously his best album. College Dropout changed a young Impalaballa's life, but this joint... it's just ridiculous from a music standpoint. It's not just a collection of songs, or some songs with a @#+!!!@! theme. It's like an actual... I don't know... movie or some %*@#. Everything about it was excellent to me. The production, topics, significance of the samples used, musical pieces/interludes, random skits, etc.

Nah
Respect your take though. Personally I'm not as high on this album as some others are, although I still enjoy it.

Exact response in my head upon seeing thread title.
FTR, I love the sound of this album, has nothing to do with the soul sampling sound he brought to hip hop argument but to me dude's do this with every Ye album since LR. Graduation is a classic, 808s is a classic, now this, year from now WTT will probably be classic too and when it comes down to it they're just not classic level.

I was actually exaggerating when I said that, but my point was I like my hip hop/rap to sound like hip hop/rap, especially the production. Not sure which thread it was in,
but somebody mentioned something about a lot of recent hip hop songs "missing something" as far as the beats. When I put MBDTF on in some headphones, it's like
something is wrong with my headphones or something. I'm not really into the overly produced/synth sounding beats. Sure, this album is loaded with raw emotion and
on point lyrically with a great concept, just didn't like the production (just like WTT).

Word! Album is far from classic. Decent....not even close to classic status. Kids are losing a grip of what classic actually means.

I haven't gone back and listened to this cd probably about 2-3 weeks after it dropped.

There are parts of MBDTF that are timeless music... But there is also some parts that seem incomplete...
Classic? Possible..... But I don't think it is undeniably classic

It's all opinion. It's funny that dude said "kids" cause the album pretty much got perfect reviews everywhere (not saying that means everything) and most of the people I know that really liked the album are 25+
