Kanye says a lot of stupid s***, let's be real.

I'm sure he was incredibly proud of that record when he completed it and whatever he says about it in hindsight doesn't change what it's been since release day: a masterpiece.

Extravagant, high budget, all synonyms but whatever

It was superrrrr safe. Especially when you compare it’s sound to its contemporaries. 808 and Yeezus both sounded nothing like mainstream hip hop. Nor were they albums a mainstream hip hop artist would’ve ordinarily dropped in those years.

Lmao

Ban

get you a better thesaurus

MBDTF is 10/10 but it’s not got a boundary pushing experimental sound

Ok so even though it’s obvious I just double checked and the words u used are all synonyms for expensive. I win, u lose. Accept defeat with grace or lose credibility

tbh

I feel like his recent statements about MBDTF fall in line with a recent trend in Kanye, in which he just goes against the grain of popular culture for the sake of going against the grain, it's why he supports President Trump, and makes the music that he is currently making

Hell he was saying this in 2018;

and now I'm willing to bet he's s***ting all over MBDTF after seeing a bunch of critics listing that record as one of the best of the 2010s, because it allows him to "troll conventional thought"

or, I'm completely wrong and his priorities/interests have simply changed since he posted that 2018 tweet lmao, which wouldn't be surprising considering it's Kanye we're talking about here

Big facts. I had a post with this exact sentiment on here the other day.

yeah, and at the same time, I don't blame him for thinking that way, guy wouldn't even be half a successful as he became by following the "conventional thought" that he couldn't rap, he was better off just producing, or couldn't design high-fashion clothing, etc.

How much coke was Ye on in the making of mbdtf

In my eyes, he used to have intuition and go against popular things naturally, without putting much thought into it. He would instinctively just be ahead of the curve on things. Nowadays it feels like he’s lost that intuition and makes up for it by just seeing what’s popular and deciding he’s purposely going to go against that.

I dont get how yall are debating intent. Whatever the artist says is what it is. There is no way to debate that lol

omg who gives a s*** what he says, you should know by now he just says random s*** so people start talking about him again

I can see why he doesn't just wanna make an album like that again tho, you can't just keep making the same thing, he always wants to try new sounds and push new boundaries with his music
imagine if he'd listened to people who wanted him to keep making college dropout sounding albums over and over

Ye only s***s on MBDTF because he hasn’t been able to top it...so he just pulls the easy cop out “I don’t wanna make perfect music” whenever he releases half assed work like his past few projects....I see right through it whenever he tries to talk down on Dark Fantasy.

Nigga used to always brag about “spending 5000 man hours on Power” and now all of sudden he calls it his weakest single...foh Ye lol

Can’t take his opinions on his music serious on that lol Y’all let him change y’all opinions on Gold Digger too, I ain’t forget

He’s been doing this since 2013 and its getting old lol where have you been

Keep coming back to this post. OP summed it up perfectly gahtdamn

Man Kanye raised the bar so hard with MBDTF . He may not have “changed music” but he had the game scrambling to reach his level of high quality . Think of how hard the climate shifted between 2008/9 & 2010/11

Y’all on KTT too much lmao

S***'s a masterclass in terms of sonics & I firmly believe it to be the modern day "Chronic".

S*** is what mad me want to produce.

It's genreless music.

It's just good.
