Something about Chipmunk beats just gets me irrationally angry

It wasn't that good in the first place.

Those last three songs though, still great, will always be great.

I really love spaceship, slow jamz, family business, and the the school skits

I actually like pretty much every song on CD; even Breathe In Breathe Out has its moments

>>70544920
Nah College Dropout is still his best. Graduation is probably his album that has aged the worst.

>>70545644
I forgot to put breathe in breathe out, it's so much fun

>>70545594
It's definitely got a few good songs, it's just that most of it doesn't have the amount of work put into the best tracks thus it has overall aged like shit.

>>70545653
>Graduation
>aged the worst
>a synthpop/EDM style album released a couple years before synthwave and EDM became a ridiculous mainstream trend in the US

fucking how
It still sounds fresh

>>70545688
Definitely, and check out this rhyme scheme
>I (blow past) (low class) niggas with (no cash)
>In the (four) dot (six) (bitch) you can (go ask)
>So when I (go fast) (popo) just (laugh)
>Right until I run out of (gas) or 'til I (go crash)

I'm pretty sure those are his densest bars in terms of rhyming on the whole album if I'm not mistaken

>>70544920
>All Falls Down
>Get Em High
>Aged like shit

Delete this.

>>70545566

It was Written has aged very badly, what are you talking about?

ATLiens has aged best of all OutKast's material.

The Black Album is still good.

The Ecstatic is still alright.

Still has a few songs I enjoy but as a whole it leaves somewhat of a bad taste in my mouth these days.

>>70547354
thank you. Get this dated shit off of the essentials list. It just doesn't work anymore.

>>70544920
its aged better than MBDTF

>>70544920
the album is still great overall, but I agree, those high-pitched voices sound terrible and dated

>>70547354

>aside from Illmatic and It was Written
They both have aged badly

>>70547354
Reminder that an album that has aged badly doesn't necessarily have to be bad

>>70547879
illmatic is clearly a product of its time, but the product itself is timeless

>>70547459
Kek, I actually feel the opposite. I'd rather listen to this than to sit through his last album. Yea, it has its flaws but it's still a fun and uplifting record.

>>70547354
Agreed, this sounds like shit nowadays. Nobody besides 50-something Rolling Stone journalists gives a shit about Public Enemy anymore.

>>70547879
Nah, Illmatic is one of the very few timeless rap albums.

people who don't like hiphop cannot appreciate the college dropout when its easily his second best.

>>70545566
I'm okay with this post. I like ATLiens, but if I'm being honest I don't listen to it anymore.

If you mean 2001 I agree, if you meant The Chronic, I disagree.

>>70545653
I agree, Graduation was dope when I was in 4th grade. Not so much now

>>70546640
possibly one of the worst album covers in rap history

What does "aged" or "dated" even mean? No one's defined it in this thread or discussed why they think an album has these attributes, they're just posting albums and covers. I fucking hate this board

>>70544920
It's from a time where rap productions were maybe overly simplistic.

This is. I tried listening to this album and I couldn't get past the album art. Honestly what the fuck was he thinking this album angers me.

>>70551136
>>70545566
The biggest issue 2001 has is that it's extremely bloated (like most Aftermath projects before Kendrick) and arguably one of the most frontloaded albums of all time. If it were split into two CDs, the one with the first dozen tracks would be universally regarded as a classic while the other one would be a drink coaster.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I honestly can't even listen to some of these songs. The songwriting isn't the problematic part at all, as there are a handful of A+ songs on here. The production just makes it unlistenable for me. It was obviously groundbreaking at the time, but it just has not held up against the test of time.

lot of fucking scrubbery here. Willing to bet youre the fickle type to think an album has aged just because you overlistened to it casually, before coming crawling back one day when its fresh again

some kpop gets old to listen to at times

The big 4 prog albums from the 70s still hold up, but this is just trite acid hippy bullshit. I'm not sure where all the /mu/ contrarian love comes from. Some critic, perhaps?

>>70551136
>>70551571
2001 has one of the best (if not THE best) mixing/mastering in rap's history, it has aged well enough

>>70549301
neck yourself

Every RHCP album

>>70551680
mezzanine was widely panned and ridiculed upon release, it sounded dated even back then. people were really over erotic thriller "trip-hop" by that point

quite funny how this album got a new lease on life thanks to house and the internet

>>70547459
lol top 5 mixtapes of all time
coloring books was straight trash. This forever will be an essential mixtape

>>70546640
Good thing he dropped an 8/10 last year, I was really concerned considering how much I loved XXX.

>>70551377
>>70551506
Specially since XXX has one of the best album covers of the decade

>>70552333
>typical hip hop
i dont know what youre trying to say with this term but ill assume you dont listen to much hip hop. If you like Coloring Book you should at least listen to Acid Rap. Its way better than coloring book imo. His lyricism is a lot better and its a lot more cohesive.

>>70544920

That album aged the best out of his college trilogy. I like the warm sound.

>>70545566

>>AtLiens by Oukast

One of the most singular releases in hip-hop history. Big Boi's peak as a rapper and Andre was really starting to warm up. Completely original and the production still sounds fresh. I fucking love the bottomless, oceanic production.

>>70553221

>people were really over erotic thriller "trip-hop" by that point

You perfectly described why the album got more praise with each passing year. It's a time-capsule of the late 90s.

>>70553029
There's nothing contrarian about liking Pink Floyd, and this album is literally not prog so idk why you brought up the "big 4".

>Some critic, perhaps?
Scaruffi likes Piper but wouldn't critical acclaim make it non-contrarion?

>>70552440
>Implying problematic is even a word let alone a valid argument

>>70545653
I think 808s and Heartbreaks has aged terribly

>>70553559
his new one from 2016 had amazing art too
