3017654, De La, the Roots, and Tribe had the meat and potatoes too

I like MBDTF a lot more than any of his albums that have come out since. But it doesn’t compare to the first 3 IMO.
I mean....if anything, College Dropout was the one that was a bit influenced by Tribe and them. And that was a fantastic album.
MBDTF - I don’t know. Someone plays the same piano note for two minutes before Kanye starts warbling all dramatically about how much of a douche bag he is, and clowns are all “this is beyond the constraints of hip hop!” GTFOH. I hated that aspect of that album. Like I said....pretentious. Like it was “above” hip hop or something.
There were some great songs and moments on the album. All that extra stuff and the presentation of it hurt the album to me though.
