Ye's best album
my personal #1 album of all time
This ? was flawless
This was Ye at his peak IMO
Although I can see how someone could argue for MBDTF
But this was a different time, he was just coming into his own as a star rapper
The live orchestra, lawd... ? was GOAT
drop those gems

It also introduced the world to Lupe The Goat

This album was perfect. -
Classic no doubt
-
next year is the 10th anniversary. we couldve skipped the party till next year..
-
I don't think he's topped this one
-
2005 life was good
-
Legendary ... remember getting this the day it leaked and bumping it the whole freeway ride back from my grandmothers house .. hella early in the moring ... just being blown away at the production quality and intricacies... this to me is his best album without question ... might be my personal favorite album of all time
cant forget about the great Nia Long tho

Nia looks good in any hairstyle
-
Ye's most complete album. ? this ? is almost 10 years old..

"I know who you are I just I just said ya name" this skit is classic. So classic, Evil Kenevil sued him! -
I slept on this album at first.
But when I took time to listen to it, I had to go to FYE to cop this joint. Some of the man's best work......... -
Album aged like fine wine
-
Second favorite Kanye album behind MBDTF. Both those albums at least top 10 for best album in last 25 years
-
Kanye West last true Dope Hip Hop LP
MBDTF=Dope but Experimental -

And Late Registration wasnt?
He incorporated Jon Brion who never made any kinda hip-hop music before, to work with him
He had a live orchestra during recording sessions
He had string arrangements and everything
This was the beginning of Kanye experimenting and evolving. -
This album was dope as ? ! Remember buying two copies when it dropped. I can't say its better than MBDTF. To me, that's his dopest album, but LR?? Classic album, classic songs. Ye mastered the strings and instruments in a way never heard on a rap album before. I remember thinking he might ? around and catch an L on his sophomore album after the classic CD. This ? killed it and continued to build a GOAT worthy catalog

@IceBergTaylor
Dr. Dre has been using live instrumentation on ? and I think the Chronic also.
Too Short personally played the Bass lines on his first LP.
orchestras musicians on Chronic 2001
College Dropout had string arrangements also Kanye West in Scratch magazine said he wanted to release a remastered College Dropout to highlight thlse strings.
MBDTF pushed the boundries of the Rap album as we know it with its fluid song arrangement and sound laandscapes.

That was album that really made me embrace Kanye. I wasn't feeling College Dropout at first, Kane annoyed me as a rapper and it took some years to get into this work. LR was stunning record from the beginning and he definitely improved his rapping skills . Can't believe it's been almost 10 years.
