TCD > Grad > LR
I think grad has more songs that I enjoy in a vacuum
But tcd is charming and endearing and fills me with warmth.
Kanye was right when he said Late Reg is too damn long
Celebration
Ima have to go with Graduation for how big of a role it played in changing the visual/sonic landscape of hip hop during that time. Its kinda like he stepped to the throne with that album.
But CD was such a strong debut with health dose of social commentary and humor.
Late Registration was great too.
Damn
He’s said allot of bullshit
He wasnt lying then though. Compare any Kanye produced song on LR to Touch The Sky and the quality is night and day
LR is the least classic of the three in terms of impact/influence, but it's the most consistent of the three
