You can nitpick the Fergie verse all you want, but it doesn't change how much of an awe inspiring head rush the rest of All of the Lights is. That s*** is an anthem.

What songs would you critique on the album?

Power alone is fr a top 5 hip hop song oat

Ngl the drums on it lack so much groove kanye had to take them out his verse. It's 2010 pop crossover clusterfuck imo but not really the point of this thread

Don't even entertain that, MBDTF is subjectively as close as anyone can get to a perfect album

Anyone trying to break it down is a hater

I'm 30 years old & grew up on Tribe.

I've been around since "The Wire"...

"MBDTF" is a perfect album.

One of the few rap records that are truly genreless.

and plus perfection is overrated you focus on perfection you miss out on the beauty. the beauty of mbdtf makes it perfect

Its funny I just made a post about how good rza on so appalled is

Music is hella subjective lol

I don't care about the critiques for a song on the album tbh.

Thematically the overall album works perfectly as a art piece.

(Actually had to look up the tracklist and you really chose the wrong album).

I'd probably say he'll of a life just because it's all of the lights fit its purpose well.

Maaan watching the visuals to that song come on every morning on MTV before being late to catching the school bus had me hyped to show up to school every day

it’s rlly one of the greatest man like i’ve yet to still hear a song on the scope of power jus yet

I return to this wee thread out of sheer curiosity, and to my utter dismay, I see this chicken nugget just got 9 pages and counting out of this tomfoolery?

Mans is such a shot of energy at the end of the song, he really propels it over the line

Last sentence doesn't make sense

You like that jay z verse on monster?::

Genuinely my favorite song of all time.

Me to OP every single page of this thread

Oh, my God, baby, you done took this s*** to the 'nother motherfucking level
Now a neighborhood nigga like me
Ain't supposed to be getting no p**** like this
God damn, god damn
Who taught you how to get sexy for a nigga? Yeezy taught me
You never used to talk dirty, but now you, you god damn disgusting
My, my God, wh-wh-where'd you learn that? Yeezy taught me
Look at you motherfucking butt-ass naked
With them motherfucking Jimmy Choo's on
Who thought you how to put some motherfucking Jimmy Choo's on?
Yeezy taught me
Yo, you took your p**** game up a whole 'nother level
This is some Cirque Du Soleil p**** now, s***
You done went all p***o on a nigga, okay?
And I, I, I, I love it, and I thank you
I thank you, my d*** thanks you
How did you learn, how di-
How did your p**** game come up?
Yeezy taught me
I was f***ing parts of your p****
I never f***ed before
I was in there like, "Oh s*** I never been here before
I've never even seen this part of P**** Town before"
It's like you got this s*** re-upholstered or some s***
What the f*** happened?
Who, who the f*** got your p**** all re-upholstered?
Yeezy re-upholstered my p****
You know what, I got to thank Yeezy
And when I see that nigga I'ma thank him
I'ma buy the album, I'ma download that motherfucker
I'ma shoot a bootlegger, that's how good I feel about this nigga
Oh, I still can't believe you got me this watch
This motherfucker's the exact motherfucker I wanted
With the bezel, this is the motherfucker I wanted
I saw this s***, I saw it
Twista had this s*** on in The Source, I remember
Twista had this motherfucker on in The Source
That's right, that's right
Yo, yo, babe, yo, yo, this is the best birthday ever
Where you learn to treat a nigga like this?
Yeezy taught me
Yeezy taught you well
Yeezy taught you well

What's a perfect album anyway, doesn't exist. MBDTF comes damn close though so that's a cause for celebration in itself.

Good point though, people assume its perfect because other people think its perfect

Your making zero sense in this thread and bashing illmatic on the basis that it came out in the 90s lol

It's almost like I'm agreeing with you, yes.

You're on sherm

Typed for others mainly alm good lol

I love the energetic delivery. F***ING RIDICALIS !
