Nah, when people think of MBDTF, they think of the quality of the album, cultural significance, and the aesthetics first

I don't think the quality is there, but music is subjective. But After hours wasn't as well recieved as MBDTF to where its considered one of standouts in its respective genre as TPAB, Blonde were and lacks a lot cultural significance. It really only has the aesthetics of MBDTF.

After hours is more comparable to graduation, astroworld, views and damn

I'd add Alone Again, Too Late, and Heartless and Faith tbh

but like following posts said, off-kilter but still pop in its base. Which applies to lots of music and there's nothing wrong with.

THE cult classic

I definitely recognize that I think this his best effort in putting together a collective body of music and since it’s subjective I understand why people are giving it its praise, but there’s something about that which makes it kind of drag on to me and blur together which for some people are good but for me at times I felt a little bored or it was a chore to get through

I’m with you though. He’s a excellent artist and I’m going into this new era with high expectations and I know he’ll deliver

Hell nawl, MBDTF was more than just a critically acclaimed and all the other stuff in op. It was Kanye’s most important album due to what happened at the 09 Grammys and the fact his career was in some sort of limbo. As much as 808s is received now it wasn’t so popular within the hip hop community back the , Ye could not afford to fail with MBDTF.

hilarious thread. OP couldn't be more wrong and this is coming from someone who has had nothing but negative thoughts about Kanye since the day Yeezus dropped

Boy you Weeknd fans really got some audacity

If you think this is true then you’re underrating MBDTF

This thread is the MBDTF of trash threads

PFFFFT.

MBDTF isn’t even Ye’s best album

Gonna end up being top 5 albums this decade, top 2 rn second only to donda imo

I wish you left this in that other thread

Standards have dropped

Any good successful album by an artist I like is the latest MBDTF

Everything written reminds me more of views than MBDTF lol

More similar comparison artist wise to Drake as well

Idk if anything can beat MBDTF or come close to it

It truly was a magical moment in music.

The hype was thru the roof and the album just feels like elegant high art rap music. Maybe a meh feature or two but that doesn’t take away from how amazing it is

Holy s*** the delusion

Imagine disagreeing with OP

I agree with this but also don’t think After Hours is a MBDTF tier album

But I like Blonde and TPAB more than MBDTF idc

I’d say more Astroworld than Views. this one actually stuck the landing
