If you havent hear Late Orchestra, the live n remixed version of LR, u def should @op

Of course bro, literally a top 3 live album.

Diamonds From Sierra Leone

No one should be this good.

Ye, John Legend en A-Trak

College Dropout was my favorite album from Ye for the longest but LR might’ve taken that spot 🤔

Why isn't this thread stickied or breaking or something?
Reported all slacking mods

That last verse of Gone is his best ever

So crazy a Rap album even exists like this especially in 2000s

Who tf would have thought orchestral, jazz & soul would be a good mix to throw on top of Rap. Almost all of it is live original or live rerecordings of samples instrumentation too.

S*** is such a musicians album. A true "artsy" album without trying too hard or off putting.

S*** is amazing. Making all those layers work with Rap vocals couldnt have been easy at all.

Mixing & structuring must of been a nightmare but thank God it worked. A type of intricateness that Rap has only been able to access more in the early to mid 2010s, but still not touching it.

Album is so complex & deep but Kanye & Jon made it easy to digest & welcoming.

Once in a while lifetime album forreal. Truly special.

I forgot a trak existed until this photo

Say what u want about the internet getting softer but imagine how much this would get made fun of today

Contributed to 3 albums at least as well

Ahead of my time, sometimes years out
So the powers that be won't let me get my ideas out
And that make me want to get my advance out
And move to Oklahoma and just live at my Aunt's house
Yeah, I romance the thought of leavin' it all behind
Kanye step away from the limelight, like, when I was on the grind
In the "One, Nine, Nine, Nine"
Before, model chicks was bendin' over or
Dealerships asked me Benz or Rover, man
If I could just get one beat on Hova
We could get up off this cheap-ass sofa
What the summer of the Chi got to offer an eighteen year old
Sell d**** or get a job, you gotta play gyro
My dog worked at Taco Bell, hooked us up plural
Fired a week later the manager count the churros
Sometimes I can't believe it when I look up in the mirror
How we out in Europe, spendin' Euros
They claim you never know what you got 'til it's gone
I know I got it, I don't know what y'all on
I'mma open up a store for aspiring MC's
Won't sell 'em no dream, but the inspiration is free
But if they ever flip sides like Anakin
You'll sell everything includin' the mannequin
They got a new b****, now you Jennifer Aniston
Hold on I'll handle it, don't start panickin', stay calm
Shorty's at the door 'cause they need more
Inspiration for they life, they souls, and they songs
They said sorry Mr. West is gone

Gone showsKanye has the capability to be a Rapper Rapper whole song is just brazy

@op even made me change my avy, that's influence

DO YOU HEAR THE STRINGS ON THIS REMIX B WHAT THE F*** THIS NIGGA GHETTOVEN OR SUMN LETS GO

Those last couple lines are just perfection, the imagery of that f***in last bar where ppl are so desperate for his output they can’t function without him

????????

And the verse prior of the past that leads to that final verse is perfection

I been pourin' out some liquor for the fact that my pal's gone
And tryin' to help his momma with the fact that her child gone
And since we used to bubble like a tub full of Calgon
Guess it's only right that I should help her from now on
But since they got a foul on, what coulda' gone wrong
Now they askin' Cons, how long has this gone on
And maybe all this money mighta' gone to my head
Cause they got me thinkin' money mighta' gone to the feds
So I ain't goin' to the dread, but he'll go on up to bed
And when I came the next mornin' he was gone with my bread
And with that bein' said, I had gone on my instincts
And gone to the spots where they go to get mixed drinks
But lookin' back now shoulda' gone to the crib
And rented "Gone With the Wind, " cause I'da gone about 10
But I had gone with my friend, and we had gone to the bar
And heard a nigga talkin s*** so I had gone to the car
And now the judge is tellin' me that I had gone too far
And now we gone for 20 years, doin' time behind bars
And since I gone to a cell for some petty crimes
I guess I gone to the well one too many times, cause I'm gone
