MBDTF was a near masterpiece. I'm ready for this.

nib95 · (10-20-2011, 12:05 AM)

Awesome. Can't wait. Not over hyping myself this time, as MBDTF was good to great and WTT was simply decent. Only inklings of amazing sprinkled among them.

I have a man crush on Scott Mescudi.

Expendable. · (10-20-2011, 12:06 AM)

I loved his Freshmen Adjustment mixtapes which had a lot of GOOD music collabs on it, hopefully this is like that.

Everyone on that list is in a slump, not looking good.

It's not Def anymore...it's Yasiin now and if anyone bothers to remember his last album no one would be excited.

Mos Def has never been in a slump in his life. Have you heard the new Black Star song?

It was better than that WTT shit you guys beat off too.

Nobility · (10-20-2011, 12:12 AM)

If it's an album for GOOD music artists then I demand No I.D. handles at least half of the production

That was a gut buster. ok.

It really wasnt...at all....and ill be first in line to criticize WTT, but there is no way Yasiin's last album was better than WTT. There was like 2 solid tracks, minimum in that album.

*sigh*... It seems like everyone at my university loves WTT (including myself!), I mean I hear a song from it playing almost every day...and then I log onto GAF...

:(

A year from now everyone will be shitty on it. Once that new car smell is gone you remember you bought a gremlin.

You mean The Ecstatic? Are you crazy? That shit was great. Better than WTT, that's for sure.

well GOOD! MBDTF is still amazing to me. As is all his other albums, including WTT (but to a lesser extent for 808s).

Shit was booooooorrrrring. He sounded half awake during that whole album.

Krev · (10-20-2011, 12:31 AM)

If it's like the GOOD Friday tracks it will be great.

Wow, that's pretty hot fiyahhh. I gave up hope and stopped listening to his Good Friday releases because they were all garbage. Guess he had at least decent one. Still, I regret nothing.

I don't understand how this person has a career.

By working harder than anyone else in his field and putting out classic albums.

He makes GOOD music.

Pinko Marx · (10-20-2011, 12:46 AM)

Could not dgaf more. MBDTF had some high points, but was weighed down by Kanye's ego.
Watch the Throne was nothing special.
Should have like 2-4 good songs and the rest throwaways.

Sure I am...you'd be a fool not to, doesn't mean I'm not preparing for the worst from Yasiin.

I'm no hiphop expert or anything but wasn't that kind of the point of that album?

all his albums are like that. All of...everyone's rap albums are like that for the most part.

Only one album could be considered classic.

Not at all.
Sure theres tons of bragging in rap. But only Kanye would throw 50 million people in a song that doesn't need them. I'm talking about All of the Lights.

Yep, The College Dropout. Late Registration comes somewhat close.

Pinko Marx · (10-20-2011, 12:58 AM)

Not gunna lie. College Dropout is the album that pretty much opened my eyes to Hip-Hop, from then on it was a wrap. Its why I still follow Kanye to this day. But I know the Kanye that made that album is long gone.

TheKaeptain · (10-20-2011, 12:59 AM)

And the gap between those two albums and his rest is huge.
