    Wooow LR runnin away with this??

    I look at it like this:

    Skippable/Average songs

    Dropout- Workout Plan, Breath In
    Late Reg- Roses, Gone

    Classic songs

    Dropout-Spaceship, Jesus Walks, Never Let Me Down, Slow Jamz, Thru the Wire, Family Business, Last Call
    Late Reg: We Major, Hey Mamma, Late, maybe Addiction, maybe Bring me Down

    Dropout>Late Reg


    gone and roses are skippable to you? ...those are two of the best damn songs on the album ...his last verse on gone>> ...you gotta be lacing your blunts to say that bruh

    We talkin classic material, not just good songs. Imo the beat on Roses is ass. I mean should i be dancin or mourning. Lol But i undrstand thats subjective. But as far as classic songs, i want to hear how my breakdown ain't accurate. Dropout has way more classic songs.

    Wat? Yall on dope CD is one of the best albums music wise spirtual wise the man touches ya soul by revealing his a personal piece of art seen through out the culmination of the. Black American experience final seeing a false post racial america late reg was none of that it was. A vanity piece

    Love both albums. One thing I will say though.. that track wit Brandy was VERY UNDERWHELMING. Ye should've threw a second verse on there.

    most forgettable track on the album tbh but Ye laced that ? ..."always be haters, thats the way it is, hater ? marry hater ? and have hater kids">>>

    Bruh ...

    Heard Em Say
    Gold Digger
    ? Music
    Touch The Sky
    Hey Mama
    We Major
    Diamonds


    are all classic staples in Kanye's catalogue .... this are beyond just good songs ... you couple that with the sonic cohesion he stressed on this record by having John Brion essentially score the whole album and you get a piece of work that is just a more matured aged & refined presentation than your getting on CD ... no disrespect to CD at all but Kanye progressed his sound with LR bruh.... then you want to talk about lyrics? ...? ..his verses on "Gone" "Heard Em Say" "? Music" "Diamonds(Original)" last verse ... i mean ...i really dont see how you can say he was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy better on CD at all

    College Dropout is a hands down classic, but Late Registration is one of the greatest albums ever made.......

    One of my homies played me Dropout before I was a fan and never let me down was what I gravitated to but like you Late Registration made me a fan. Serious unbiased question, how many rappers can boast that every album or at least almost every album in their Catologue boasts a classic song?

    same with me my friend played me college dropout when it came out. spaceship was my favorite but when late registration came out he made me that album and it was probably one of the best things I heard at the time

    I feel like CD was overall more consistent than LR.

    but LR's best songs were better than CD's best songs. on the other hand, CD's worst songs were better than LR's worst songs.


    Still can't decide.

    LR was disappointing to me, especially with the overuse of jazz samples....

    yeah i think thats why he used all of the live instrumentation on that one... he said something like midnight marauders is his favorite album of all time and he listened and listened to it and wanted to make a record that had a simular vibe in LR
