This is the Greatest Rap Album of the last 15 years

[TRSL]

Almostlity, just out of curiosity, which rap album (of all time) do you think is better than MBDTF?

[The Asshole]

MMLP is still the best from the past 15 years. MBDTF is definitely top 5 even top 3 though.

You don't think so?

Lol

Uhhh no

The production alone makes MBDTF more artistic than pretty much any other rap album

Plus MMLP has under the influence and amityville so

Amityville is dope af

I'd actually be inclined to agree if you mean that MBDTF is the most grandiose hip hop album, has the most cinematic flair, and just how seemingly pretentious it is (I mean that in a good way). It's probably the most pretentious hip hop album of all time but not in a lame "underground rapper using bigger words than they can chew type way" but how it unabashedly it throws it's weight around and how it constantly tries to prove this ain't just hip hop. It probably is the best hip hop album that would fit in an art museum or fits as being some art film.

Now if you mean it has production with the most synergy with vocals, how unique the beatsmithing is, whether the album gets it's point across in the best way, and just how overall enjoyable the beats are (subjective yeah yeah). Than it'd be at least be top ten but prime RZA definitely was more cinematic and approaching auteur levels in his beatsmithing with how he made some of the most unique beats and how much atmosphere they had. Each Wu Tang prime album during their run each have their own sound and vision. Same for Dan the automator with Deltron 3030 & Dr Octagon, Madlib in Madvillainy,Pimp C for Ridin Dirty, & El-P in Cold Cein. Of Course that's not even getting into Donuts which gets so much more done beats wise and makes a far bigger statement with nothing but production, than again Donuts has the best production around. & is all production it's like comparing purely cinematic movies like Enter the Void or 2001 a space odyssey to some big budget film, the latter which is pretty much a visual poem.

Just wanna clear that I'm not a kanye hater & that MBDTF is definitely the best hip hop album of 2010,probably the decade so far, & one of my favorite hip hop albums in general. I like him about as much as I like Eminem probably more since he doesn't have an Encore and still makes enjoyable music.

Under the Influence and Amityville fit perfectly with the theme of the album. No artistic integrity was compromised by the inclusion of those songs.

MMLP and its themes are executed perfectly.

[classthe_king]

But those songs lowkey suck

[dead prez]

How do you feel about people that single out Bitch Don't kill my Vibe & Backseat freestyle as well? Also Kim is one of the most cinematic songs in MMLP dunno why you don't like it.

[classthe_king]

Those songs are gr8

[dead prez]

I know bitch don't kill my vibe is actually one of my favorites outside of Money Trees, I just know those songs get singled out the most (outside Real & Compton) and the excuse a lot of people give when defending those two are they fit within the context of the album rather than defending their innate quality.
