I don't know how people find CD to be better...while the album has MASSIVE highs, I just feel LR is a bit more consistent production wise and never dips in quality. There is no song on LR that is worse than Breathe In Breathe Out

Maybe LR is better

But TCD still a 10/10 classic

Considering it was a debut album and how the rap game was like at the time when it dropped. Kanye changed the game forever

LR strong 9/10. One of his best

Yeah I still respect TCD I think its a definite classic. There's just something about LR lol

I agree
LR in ye top 3 best

Yeah this has always been my opinion. Both masterpieces but LR goes further in a lot of ways

i have always felt that LR is more refined/artistic than CD, but CD is more honest and soulful.

I definitely prefer LR overall but it comes down to personal preference

I have to be in a mood to listen to CD, but LR is always my go-to Ye project(along with TLOP)...it's like a warm blanket lmao

college dropout just hits a soft spot with all the soul

CD packs more punch while LR is a little boring.

Agreed. Both albums are 10s but you could make a strong case for LR being the greatest album of all time

Breathe In Breathe Out is amazing tho

Approved.

We Major is the greatest song ever made let alone the greatest Kanye West song ever made.

LR gang

We Major
Late
Hey mama
Gone
Drive slow top 5 LR in my opinion of course. Blessings to this LR thread. LR is the greatest piece of music history in my generation. 2005

TCD is more iconic but LR is just song for song a stronger and more mature piece of work

LR is better but TCD is funnier

Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
I dropped my new s***, it sound like the best of

Some days I agree some days I disagree

also
Late Registration > MBDTF

Fax LR easily is up there for me with MBDTF and yeezus as top 3 ye albums

"Yeah the beat cold, but the flow is anemic"

Agreed. LR is top 3.

Not to take away from TCD tho, that s***s a classic too.

u right
