That sh!t hit my soul lol. Definitely one of my favorite albums ever. The honesty and purity of that piece of work are amazing.

However, that does NOT give the man an excuse to release song after song of utter cow tripe for the last 5 years JUST because he did some great songs AGES ago. Kanye's only decent material in the past 5 years or so for me seems to be his production work on Common's Finding Forever and Go (was 'Go' less than 5 years ago?).

I put it straight in the 'classic' category that all the great LPs have... when everything just aligns at the right time to make a perfect statement. CD has its got its own philosophy & vision that meant something special cos we hadn't heard it like that before. He was hungry, angry & honest on there & it seemed to come out of nowhere. Some musician once said 'You've got your whole life to write your first album, and 2 weeks to write your 2nd'! College Dropout.
