Don't think it's a bad album tho by any means. Just think that the "grandiose" aesthetic and cinematic rollout overshadowed the more lackluster aspects of the actual music

It be those same niggas that are “annoyed” when a great album resulting from hard work gets praised. I can’t look at this forum the same no more

i don't dislike the entire album but i've called all of the lights overproduced from day 1... like he was trying to force an anthem lmao

Everything is just about vibes now

“trying to force an anthem”

nigga got me listening to Kanye in 2025 cause of skill issue

Legit haven’t listened to a Kanye album in like 2 years and feel no compulsion to do so.

I used to bump TCD, MBDTF and (especially) LR on a pretty consistent basis too.

the nigga who used to have only his part of the beat changed on rap anthems does not need to force an anthem

I think people that act like it's overrated mid bc Kanye said it was an apology album are trying way too hard lol

However Graduation #1

albums like mbdtf are needed more than ever

f*** kanye tho

Kanye downplaying MBDTF is a jedi mind trick to make his later work seem better & to make you think he can drop an MBDTF whenever he wants/easily

Wow I’m old enough that niggas are “it’s not that good” to mbdtf nothing is safe to time

the horns make it so obvious like that nigga wanted this in the espn commercials bad

Thats been my top 2 for a long time as well. LR is the peak of classic Kanye and Yeezus of experimental

Nah in the past year I listened to that album more than ever

It’s like watching my favorite movie. I find a new reason to fall in love with it every week man. Made me realize why certain albums get talked about forever. Don’t even have the words to describe how special MBDTF is to me. No bs.

Some moments in music history you just have to appreciate, especially if you got to be apart of it from a cultural standpoint

I need more drinks and less lights….and that American Apparel girl in just tights

I’m sure he was thinking about espn

this & 100th music sucks now thread back to back days epitomizes this site lmao

LMFAOO

Always said it’s overrated it’s like a 7-7.5/10

nigga was thinking of a sportscenter commercial while making a career defining classic boy yall kill me
