Classic or Not Vol 14............Late Registration

[Stew]

Close but no cigar imo. Too many songs. 4.5 mic album

 

[genocidecutter]

Yes classic and you still haven't done the albums I suggested.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

this one is tough

 

[jono]

Awesome album, with no weak records. Some were better than others but individually the songs were dope as fuck, even with the random Brandy feature. The songs had meaning and the content was good, sonically its a masterpiece so I don't see why it isn't.

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

Good album but not a classic

 

[StillFaggyAF]

his best album

 

[5th Letter]

I'm sold on this being a classic. At first I thought it wasn't, but it grew on me in that regard.

 

[huey]

un-skippable album, showed the transformation of an artist and person, and introduced the world to lupe fiasco....classic imo

 

[Stew]

Damn this shit got ugly quick. lol I figured it would turn out this way tho.

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

of course. This was the only album i bumped my freshmen year in hs and i remember fallin in love wit it instantly. This was really the last time people actually bought CDs.

 

[b@squ1@t redux]

fuck no

kanye got one classic and it aint this one

 

[DMTxTHC]

LR is a bonafide classic album, and it's his best album. Every guest feature was on point too.

Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third?

Lupe steal like Lupin the Third.

hear/here like ear till I'm beer on the curb

peach fuzz buzz but beard on the verge

let's slow it down like we're on the syrup

bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's.

but, before you say another word,

I'm back on the block like I'm laying on the street.

I'm trying to stop "lion" like a Mumm-Ra,

but I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat.

engarde, or touché, Lupe cool as the unthawed

but I still feel as possessed as a gun charge.

come as correct as a porn star,

in a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car.

so, I represent the first.

now, let me end my verse right where the horns are like uggh!

 

[aladdin1978]

Very close and difficult...but I voted no.

 

[tompetrez3]

i dont see how an album with so much ghost production can be considered a classic. nah it aint. golddigger was a bigger coon shuffle song than laffy taffy. jay z killed him on his own shit on diamonds. the rest of the album was filler and skippable material. i cant quote one average verse from this album. total sophmore slump. 2.25/5 max and thats being extra generous to bugs monkey

 

[King Lee]

Its hard for me to deny this album a classic, it had too many dope records crack music, gone, diamonds, we major. Kanye stole the show in 06 with this album.

 

[buttuh_b]

I wanna say No because Kanye still ain't a great rapper on here but fuck it. This is his best album.

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Definitely a classic. You don't have to skip a single track, just let the whole thing play.

 

[andre_1024]

Absolutely

 

[rip.dilla]

The only KanYe West LP I still listen to today without skipping any tracks

My favourite album of his ..

'Celebration' is a that sssshit

 

[Swiffness!]

Brandy song was the only one that didn't work. He used Jon Brion and that orchestra to create a lush, coherent sound for the whole album that's the complete opposite of College Dropout's MPC sound. The moment you heard Nas was on We Major was the moment you knew Nas/Jay was squashed. Gold Digger. Easy Classic, not a masterpiece.
