overrated

>>71670459
Did this need a thread?

>>71670459
Maybe a little

I disagree, I listened to it yesterday for the first time in a while and it still holds up. Absolutely monumental, genius production and the highest amount of clever lines out of any Kanye album.

>we love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan

>>71670485
Very overrated. Some tracks here are so weak I just can't understand why people rate it that high.

>>71670515
Is there any production tho

Seriously, it's like my sixth listen already. It was fine when I listened briefly some time ago, but then after trying to actually comprehend it I found too many flaws for supposedly a 10/10 album.

>>71670459
Wrong.

It's an underrated classic now, thanks to you faggots.

Even Melonhead has come around to accepting it's greatness.

Melonhead still thinks that it's not that great though, even despite its 'influence' over the culture.

hmmmmmm

Nope. Perfect lyrics, mostly perfect production. Enjoyable to listen to all the way through and there's not even a single bad track. Also very influential. This is the definition of a 10/10.

I like how the record sounds intentionally brickwalled. It makes the whole album seem like a timeless art piece.

Yeezus is better.

>>71670639
>>71670735

The album feels very inconsistent with all of its strange 'mood swings' of sorts, and most of the songs feel like they're just stretched out to make it not-an-EP. It almost feels like Watch The Throne has better production than this, even though it's clearly not true.

>>71670853

No shit. I still enjoy the opulent maximalism of MBDTF. Yeezus is a much more personal record.

>>71670853
Fuck you. Just. Fuck you.

So Appalled, Blame Game and Runaway need to have more than a minute and half shaved off of all them
Hell of a Life is an abomination

Yeezus is ten times better

>>71670853
I'm getting real fucking tired of this meme.

Is "variety" the word you are looking for? The songs have widely varying concepts and structures, but the production is very consistent. Do you understand what production actually is?

>most of the songs feel like they're just stretched out to make it not-an-EP

Now you are just being stupid, MBDTF is Kanye's longest albums, and even if the "stretches" (which serve a purpose) it would still be a full size album.

>It almost feels like Watch The Throne has better production than this, even though it's clearly not true.

At least you got something right.

>>71670459
Its a 7. So appaled is a bad track, would have been better with just ye rapping on it. All of the lights interlude is completely useless and ruins the flow of the first side. Jay z verse on monster is god awful and probably shouldve been cut/rewritten. The yeezy taught me skit pads the run time of a song thats already too long. NOT EVERY SONG ON THE BACK ENDS DESERVES TO BE 5+ MINUTES

>>71671091

>being this much of a pleb

>>71670459
Kanye West is overrated in general.

>>71671105
What is pleb about not liking FUCKIN RIDICALUS x45 and autotune whining over the same instrumental for 4 minutes after a song should be over?

>>71670459
It's got substance at least, something Kanye lacks a bit nowadays.

Runaway Devil In A New Dress and Blame Game are among his best tracks. I hate Monster.
So Appalled, All of the Light and Hell of a Life aren't bad, but they're not great, either.

It's got some nice lyrics but some pretty stupid ones as well.

This, LR and 808s are probably his best.

>>71671036
What purpose does the stretching serve? Make you feel bored to death? It accomplishes its goal well then.

The College Dropout had good variety while having kickass production.

>>71670594
The production is probably the best aspect of the album. But I totally agree with you that it's completely overrated. The features are really what blows it for me. The only 10/10 song is Devil in a New Dress, rest of the album is maybe a 6 at best

>>71670459
It's truly one of those albums that grows on you then ungrows then grows again.

I have to go to fucking sleep now guys, it's 2am here.

In conclusion:
MBDTF = overrated a lot
Yeezus = shitty Death Grips ripoff
The College Dropout = Kanye's best album

My personal ratings for the albums:
TCD: 9/10
LR: 8/10
Graduation: 7/10
808s: 7,5/10 (haven't digged yet tho)
MBDTF: 7/10
Yeezus: 6/10
TLOP: 7/10

Additional unrelated notes:

If Kanye will not scrap Turbo Grafx 16, then it will probably be his shittiest album ever, since songs about videogames were never great.

I wish that actual SWISH was a thing, All Day was a great song. I Feel Like That was also good because of its weirdness and artsiness, sort of.

I really want to hear a Kanye song titled Super Mario Galaxy though

>>71671204
that's the best part of the entire album, perhaps even of Kanye's entire discography

>>71671705
really makes you think

>>71671568
this is literally the most posturing thing I've ever seen in my life

if for whatever reason you see this, take a lengthy and extended break from /mu/. It really, really seems like you can't think for yourself

How do you rank kanyes discog?

That's because 808's is the best when will you plebs learn.

Hmm not bad what about tlop

mine goes like this

>>71672572

I forgot to rate TLOP, that album is so unmemorable but it's better than Graduation.

>>71672605

This is the only time I've ever seen that order. Congratulations, you're special.

>>71673920

Because some of the lyrics are ridiculous

>And I know that the government administer AIDS

>>71673948
I agree that line is dumb as fuck but that's the only line I really dislike on the whole album. I do really recommend watching Late Orchestration though even if you don't like the album itself, it's his best live performance by far. Maybe you'll find some appreciation for the strings.

The wired strings that is.

>>71670594
>is there any production tho

Uh, yeah.

Too many people fell for le p4k 10/10 meme.
With that said, it's still a good album.

>>71671091
No

>>71671568
Go to bed Fantano

It's the most overrated album of all time

>>71674197
lol how can you have this opinion? oh yeah its ur opinion... thas cool.... i guess....

>>71670459
it contains the best Rick Ross will ever come up with, your argument is invalid

also gorgeous had some his best verses, even if they might have been ghostwritten

MBDTF is overrated but it's still a 10/10. It's just not the 11/10 Kanye stans want you to believe it is.

MBDTF > Yeezus = TCD > Late Orchestration > 808s > TLOP = Grad > Late Registration >> Watch the Throne

>>71670459

>>71670882
>>71670994

It is undoubtedly hands down the best thing Rick Ross has ever written in his entire career ever in the history of ever.

What about my statement is wrong? Do you laugh at the yeezy taught me skit? Do you love jay zs additions to this album? Am i being FUKIN RIDICALUS??

Here are the songs that deserve their run time on the back side of this album:
Hell of a Life
Devil In a New Dress
Lost in the World (its only 4 and a half minutes)

Its the flaws that MAKE it a 10/10 album

>>71674956
Yes, but the tracks with him still quite sucked

>>71671597
Yeah, I agree with Fantano. So what? I disagree with him as well, especially with his Thundercat ratings and the recent HNDRXX review.

>Spaceship
>Gone
>Homecoming
>Gorgeous
>Hold My Liquor

Best from each album imo

Tracks drag a bit

it's a 5 to 6/10, regretted buying it after believing the hype.

Truly a monumental album, still the 10's AOTD so far.
So good in fact that seeing these threads makes me want to voice this opinion.

>>71670459
The only flaw on this album is blame game. But when you have highs like runaway and gorgeous, that more than makes up for it.

Why is it so important for people to express that kanye(especially dark fantasy) is overrated?
But anyways im just happy this album exists
If i had to call the best album of the 10s without longer thought id always pick this
Imo its the most important hip hop realease since the 90s even
Shaped the world of the genre completely

>>71679366
I thought I was listening to DG track when that opener came through my shuffle. But then he started to rap.

>>71682148
>Why is it so important for people to express that kanye(especially dark fantasy) is overrated?

Because people give it 10/10s for no real reason.


Also, To Pimp a Butterfly is more important than this.

is this because of the fact that he mentioned a list of monsters? because if it is you realize he made a parallel to these monsters and himself and people he works with regularly

>The College Dropout had good variety while having kickass production.
CD stretched out songs as well, and even ends with a fucking 13 minute spoken word interview track.
