white girl with me & she look jus like a barbie doll

1997 Vibe

This era of Kanye man this the dude that should've been producing whole albums

This was a hell of an album opener. Too bad No Mercy, as a whole, couldn't match the strength of Welcome to the World. Ye could've easily given us another Be level album if he was solely focused on producing for others.

His 08-10 era was his peak as a producer,Welcome To The World is raw like his new stuff but intricate and well made like a real production. He would've produced a hell of an album for anyone at that time.

Made it an exception since kdog been wanting 1/28 for months.

Yes and the reason why he peaked is because he was hungry and felt like he still had a lot to prove. It lit a fire under his ass that we haven't seen since.

no mercy got some jams tho

get back up is dope, nice neptunes beat

that’s all she wrote

title track with the dream

amazing

castle walls

poppin bottles sounds so dated but it used 2 slap back in the day lol

We can't afford to do 3 matches in a week like before. Maybe we should push back Q-Tip vs. RZA for the sake of this match.

Can’t believe I slept on this Sudan Archives album, so good

Yep,he had an untouchable style during that era,it wasn't half-assed beats/loops,plus he rapped with a purpose back then.

?

natural brown prom queen?

That’s the one

that’s what i was quoting earlier haha

song is fye

Hot take: T.I. does Pop Rap better than Recovery era Eminem.

how this wasn’t a single is beyond me

i’m so curious as to what a pre 2009 VMA version of Good Ass Job sounds like

before it became MBDTF

I think about this every time I listen to Mama's Boyfriend.

Man, what could've been.

I'll support you no matter what.
