Rap music peaked with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

[Organic Trees]

MBDTF is one of the greatest rap albums of all time imo

Rap is at its peak

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

This album was like "how come I'm not in on the joke" it got so much praise and I couldn't and still cannot figure out why. Hell I still can't figure out how and why Kanye became this so-called genius. His music has always been spotty to me. I was 31 when that garbage dropped, so I still had my "hip-hop ears" and my ears told me to turn it off. Kanye is truly one of the most overrated rappers/producers of all-time. He's terrible

Cant say that cause commercially it wasnt at its peak yet. Highest sellign non-double rap albums are mostly in the shady/aftermath era

So then you need to specify "commercial peak" which has absolutely nothing to do with Rap Musics actual peak which was the 90's. You obviously weren't around in the 80's and 90's if you're dying on this hill that rap music peaked with that Kanye album. Nas said Hip Hop was dead 4 years prior but you think otherwise.

I thought this album was so fukkin bad. I will never understand people's amazement with it.

How do feel about Taylor Swift?

 

[Piff Perkins]

No but it was arguably the greatest album rollout of all time. The GOOD Friday releases, the other leaks, the rumors, the fukkery, the awards show performance, the visuals....it was immaculate.

 

[The Infamous]

MBDTF is one of the most overrated albums in hip hop history. This is coming from a big Ye fan pre MBDTF.

How do feel about Taylor Swift?

You really used to defend Kanye?

 

[Chris Cool]

Nicki Minaj monster verse was the most overrated verse ever.

Not at all homie, I truly don't understand the Kanye thing. And how he's regarded so highly.

 

[zayk35]

I'ma catch flack for this but So Appalled is up to par with if not better than almost every posse cut your 'hip hop' ears have heard

Nah it's not even close in my opinion. Just a bunch of over-produced noise like 99 percent of his music after College Dropout.

 

[Hip-Hop-Bulls]

You are young....and that's ok

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

Sonically, few hip hop albums stand with it.

 

[Barney Rubble]

When people started acting like Kanye was an elite MC, I knew hiphop was done.
