If Late Registration didn't have that awful Brandy song and if My Way Home (which is still an amazing song) was on a Common album instead of that album, it'd probably be on an equal level with College Dropout for me.

Brett824 posted:808's & Heartbreak = MBDTF > Graduation = College Dropout > Late Registration This is pretty much how I feel. However I might put late registration a little higher, I think Hey Mama and Roses are incredible. Was listening to MBDTF and was wondering if there was a kanye following on SA, and it was the top thread.

H.A.M is balls, real lack of effort in the vocals from both.

So do remixes just not get album releases? The "Power" remix was obviously great, and I thought they were saying it would be on Watch the Throne from the beginning. Doesn't matter, I'd obviously like more new music and fewer repeats, it's just weird. And I can't check from work, but if I wanted to pay money for that remix, could I, via iTunes or something?

Has he always been this erratic in releasing info? I mean seriously according to the little timeline he spoke about earlier in the year we should have already had Watch the Throne done and dusted by now and possibly even another album here/on the way... the fool makes no sense

late registration is the best one simply because We Major is one of the greatest hip hop songs of the past decade

Chim posted:late registration is the best one simply because We Major is one of the greatest hip hop songs of the past decade I love a handful of songs from Late Registration (We Major, Drive Slow and Hey Mama are my favorites) but I think overall it is Kanye's weakest album. I know many people will disagree with me but I think Graduation is way better...and I even like 808s more. My tier list is MBDTF=College Dropout>Graduation>808s>Late Registration

Late to the party here, but I would say hands down, 808's and mbdtf are definitely #1 & 2. Both of them though, I think you really have to listen to from start to finish as all the tracks compliment each other really well. Also devil in a new dress is a badass song, least favorite would be so appalled. Jay z comes across bored to me and is just phoning it in with typical "I'm rich and untouchable" bullshit and the whole rza part seems like a waste to me. I get the point is that they're so big now that they're the bad guys now but they embrace it. That said the instrumental is sick, and is one of the best on the album.

I think the best part of So Appalled is the completely unnecessary and years late dis that Jay Z throws at MC Hammer. Also the line "all ya'll can suck my ba-wls through my dra-wrs."

So Appalled is for sure the worst track on there. Jay's verses really are the worst on the album - luckily the Monster one has enough decent parts that it doesn't bog the song down at all.

Yeah jay to me sounds bored as hell the whole album, maybe Kanye just makes him look bad? jay z still kinda does that old school "i'm ballin heres how rich I am" kinda rap and Kanye has more substance and is a little more versatile imo. Even on monster jay's whole verse just doesn't seem like it fits. Course compared to Nicki Minaj' crazy rear end on that track they kinda all fall short.

I agree that So Appalled is probably the weakest track on the album, though I think the chorus bit (champagne wishes, thirty white bitches etc) is pretty catchy and amusing. But I find it interesting that the least popular track also happens to be the only Kanye-free track on the album.

When I first heard that bit on the album, I thought it was pretty sick, but on subsequent listens, the Christ Rock bit definitely runs a bit too long at the end. yeezy didn't teach them how to edit down tracks I guess.

So Appalled was great as a GOOD Friday song, but I'm surprised it made to the CD. Didn't really fit in. And yes, Jay-Z was not good at all on the album. Diamonds From Sierra Leone Remix gives me hope for Watch the Throne.

After a whole lot of listens, Power has ended up as my favourite track on the album. That sequence of Power -> All of the Lights -> Monster is just amazing. I don't think I've ever listened to a modern album for this long before
