5 years ago today, a dope album came out

[airjordan jb23]

wow can't believe this dropped 5 years ago it feels like just yesterday i was playing this every day in school with my boys during study hall

didn't like it at first, but once i came around to him really stepping outside of the box & going completely left of what he normally does, i began to appreciate it. i can play it straight through no problems

pinocchio story
paranoid puts me in such a great mood
welcome to heartbreak... easily my favorite cut off the album. cudi
coldest winter

his performance of tracks off the album on vh1 story tellers

HATED this when it came out. i was sooooo pissed when i heard it man.

and it has nothing to do w/ the experimental nature. Love Below is in my top 10

and i listen to way more genre's than rap so that excuse is so tired.

 

[two zero five]

Classic in my book.

 

[halftime]

LR > MBDTF > CD > Yeezus/808 > Graduation

 

[htg designs]

I think this lp is pretty cool. Has some good but depressing music on here, so I didnt listen as often as I wanted to.

The bounce on this joint :x :


Heartless= Blood on the leaves, imo

Always hoped weezy would spazz on this track

 

[antidope]

But all of Drakes music is good and this is terrible.....

 

[ravagebx]

 
This album was by far his worst. It is horrendous. 

This. Save maybe two or three tracks.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Not terrible. I hated it at first, but I can appreciate it now.

 

[Gordonson]

I actually loved this album. I revisit it from time to time when I'm chilling. Pretty much rocked with... Actually, after looking at the tracklist, I can't find a song I don't like. See You in My Nightmares was stuck in my head for the longest.

 

[meek meals]

Great album.

808s + Graduation are two of most influential rap albums of the 2000s. You can see their DNA everywhere.

 

[illphillip]

We really need to stop with "birthdays" for albums.

Especially ******** albums. This, Watch The Throne etc.

It's hysterical how much people buy into Kanye's "influence".

Y'all act like Tribe, DeLa, Mos Def ("Umi Says" anyone?), Kweli, The Roots, NERD etc. never existed

When Drake was doing Drake before this album even dropped.

Plus Drake is more straight ahead R+B where Kanye likes to ride that New Wave/ElectroPop tip.

 

[ill steelo]

Thought it was terrible when I heard it.

Years later, still terrible.

Haven't met anyone in real life who likes this album.

 

[ny mavurs]

Hated 808s at first but it grew on me but IMO

So Far Gone>>>>808s

 

[whoshotcha]

After yeezus, 808's is his worst album. I really didn't like it at all.

 

[the natural mystic]

The production on this album tho :x

Heartless is my favorite track. Love this album.

 

[yeezusdisciple]

Classic in my book.

i love your book, b

This album is pretty great. it sounds so good.

But all of Drakes music is good and this is terrible.....

 

[superantigen]

This album was by far his worst. It is horrendous. 

This.



...

 

[nachobroadweezy]

Until a girl dedicated a song to me, I gave the CD a full listen and it blew my mind. dope.

 

[ctidda]

I liked it

 

[dipsetgeneral]

After yeezus, 808's is his worst album. I really didn't like it at all.

I'd have to agree

 

[bobby shaw]

ya albums garbage, I bought ya _ man
I listened to it, and now its in the trash can

 

[born tuesday]

I wanted to hate this album so much when it dropped but I LOVE this MF album. Stone cold beware a man scorned type situation. My brother was going through it with Baby Momma when this came out, so we used to bump the hell out of this and laugh. Might need to put this back in rotation.

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Man this album definitely is one of my favorites. Kanye stepped outside the box with this one helped create a sound that many others duplicate even in today's modern day hip-hop. Good music, still relevant with fire production? I'll take it. 

Paranoid 

Heartless 

Love Lockdown

Amazing

Coldest Winter

 

[jtplatnum]

i may be late, but i read somewhere that this beat was produced for Kanye and was meant to be on the 808's album but never made the cut...i would have preferred Kanye over it:
