All of the lights is one of the most underrated joints in a long time cause it had all those pop stars featuring.
shyt was classic, lyrically, production wise, structure wise, both musical and vocal arrangements and all that.

Pretty much this.

Still think it might be Ross's best verse.

But yea, it holds up beautifully, I called this album the Purple Rain of rap albums, I stand by it.

Cats are saying Jay had a wack verse on Monster? :why:

Honestly, I'll always remember the Good Fridays more fondly than the album itself.

Album was garbage imo. He tried way too hardto be different and groundbreaking.

If this was a no name rappers' album, nobody would ever listen to this.

This thread just reminds me that hip-hop fans will never really appreciate an artist trying to be progressive in music...

Every other genre (besides maybe country) has a lane or an era where pushing boundries is the thing to do...Hip-Hop wants the same shyt OVER and OVER again

Except the album he put out just before was 808's and Heartbreak. If anything Dark Fantasy was his return from "trying too hard to be different and groundbreaking." And, oh, it's only called 'trying too hard' when you actually tried but failed. MBDTF is arguably the most renowned and acclaimed album (and not just rap either, but in music--period) of the 21st century.

Let's stick to the facts here, ppl

yea i cant comprehend how the dude who made jesus walks made this album. it makes me think the illuminati shyt true cause he still ON this shyt with the "im a piece of shyt" vibe. the wrong energy is behind new kanye. makes sense tho, he made benjemins

Negativity sells in this country unfortunately.

Album still has its good moments, but its okay. Not a classic though :yeshrug:
