I remember downloading it on iTunes as soon as it dropped. The chills I got when all of the lights interlude started were like nothing else man.
What are your memories from your first listen?

I remember pirating it and later getting the CD from a family member

The whole year bumping all the good fridays, then the Power leak version and eventually hearing the final album with the Runaway movie was unreal

Amazing brethren
Simpler times for sure

Grabbed the CD from Target the day it dropped, never felt anything like it music wise before tbh

The crazy thing is, there’s people that weren’t even watching Kanye like that because they were young as hell but now they got the worst opinions on his music.

man memories for me. I was a freshman in HS when it dropped

I downloaded it from the torrent site Demonoid 2 weeks early.. looked it up & shocked it’s still up, but anyway yeah downloaded it & listened to it in my closet cause my twin brother & I were sharing a room at the time & didn’t wanna wake him with my constant stank faces & excitement.. I remember hearing the opening & the opera-like sounds of Dark Fantasy, and it was a wrap for me I turned from fan to stan that night

I was a late adopter tbh

Great album

lurking on ktt for leaks

waiting for good fridays on his website every week

waking up super early on a school morning to watch the ustreams

actually being pissed that the album got delayed

dropped my first year of college for me, crazy lol

Oh also, i wasn’t into Kanye like that pre-MBDTF so I didn’t hear any of the album leaks or GOOD Friday tracks.. MBDTF was fresh from the start & it was beautiful

Dropped my senior year, WTT dropped during my first year damn time flies, I hope you’re happy with how life is currently.. I feel like my 2010 self would be proud of 2020 me

thanks fam, I’m feeling the same! Definitely thought my life would be different, but not in a bad way at all! crazy how fast time moves once you hit a certain age lol

Makes me feel old lmao

Was also my senior year, drank for the first time the day before WTT dropped

The clean version right ??

It had to have been! It was so long ago I can’t remember if it was clean or not, but I’m sure it was if that was the only version that leaked

Same. I was at the barbershop when I heard it and let mad niggas skip ahead of me just to relisten
