    This album isn’t about Kanye anymore. Its about hip hop. Hip hop won the race and started to rule the world the day that MBDTF came out.

    To me this album is the best hip hop album of all time. It represent so much for the genre.

    This album properly introduced me to kanye. Before that I only knew his mainstream songs like Stronger and Gold Digger. Man when that first 'Can We Get Much Higher? So Hiiigh' on Dark Fantasy came up, I ascended. His best album in my opinion (even though 808s and Heartbreaks is a very close 2nd)

    Crazy coz it feels like it's been more than a decade to me for some reason.

    Tremendous album and the stories connected to this project are legendary in their own right.

    Haven’t stopped playing it all day. It dropped during my senior year so the sentiment for any music from that year is already exponentially more significant to me. Can’t recall any other album ever that I was this hyped for; we had the Good Friday tracks, the 30 min Runaway vid in October...bought this off iTunes the very moment it hit midnight. I absolutely agree bro, I’m fine with anyone saying there are objectively better albums, but this just feels like the best rap album to ever grace my presence.

    Being 16 in this era, makes this prime music for me. Like, objectively I guess people can argue that other rap is better, but to me, this is the pinnacle of hip hop

    Good Fridays was one thing I wish Kanye wouldn't have ended so soon. Christian Dior Denim Flow and Don't Look Down > *

    Don't Look Down was the first time I heard a Big Sean verse and said, "Okay." And this was f---ing 2010, man. Crazy. Took him a while to come back around to that level of lyricism.

    Omfg. Today is a very f---ing special day. 10 years. Finally. I remember being geeked about this same day last year. But this marks a full decade. I was a few weeks removed from just turning 21. Kanye restored my faith in music and humanity in The Summer and Fall of 2010. He had that whole summer on lock with Good Fridays. I miss those days.

    Fell in love with a freak college freshman bih @ Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, during this particular album rollout. Listened to all The Good Fridays religiously and splashed little mama to 'em. Had her so hooked on Kanye, she chalk-sketched The Alternative Version of The College Dropout Cover Art over her windows. This little gem from "Blame Game" comes to mind.


    "You always said Neezy, I ain't your right girl.
    You'll probably find one of them "I like art"-type girls." (I know the lyric said Yeezy, but she called me Nia and Neezy. Two nicknames shorty gave my black ahh. Appropriatin' this melanated meat, this pretty little JuggaLette thotty was. *Baby Carti Yoda Voice* *Clears Throat* But I'll digresssssss. *Patrick Stump Voice*)

    I miss my boy Matt Kessler. I f---ing miss him. He didn't even get to make it to 30 and he would have been this September 20th. My f---ing heart hurts. Bittersweet day, indeed. We blasted this and Recovery and became the best of friends through Skype Conference Calls with a mutual friend of ours Ben Stone and this dweeb named Anthony Russo. My Jersey Boys. R.I.P. Matt Kessler. I'mma smoke and blast this album for you, my dog. *Sighs*:emoji_cry::emoji_sob::emoji_mask:

    It's really unique and beautiful. I would say his best album. I recently relistened to the whole thing. Still amazing.

    Same. I've seen people on this forum hate on the hook/beat switch (prior to this thread) as well but I've always loved it. Great intro to the album.

    the rza beat is cool and i like kanye’s first verse but the nicki intro is stupid and the song drags. it’s telling that it’s one of the shorter ones by run time but one of the few that i’m always waiting to end
