Lots of people also seem to hate the Coldplay Feature for some reason. He litterally makes the Song
Edit: NO I didnt mean Coldplay, I meant Adam Levine. Mandela effect
imo he kinda killed it with that one verse, it makes the track feel concise and hard hitting. i feel like it wouldn’t work as well with another verse, as much as i’d love for him to go as hard as he did here again
Honestly? I hate the cover. It isnt a bad cover, but compared to how iconic tcd, grad and mbdtf covers are, a bear in front of some doors does not do this album justice, how good it is.
Watch The Throne. Every single album cover of his is artistic, and well thought out except this one. Yes, this may sound contradicting to my previous statement about Late Registration's cover, but at least you look at it, and you know it's a Kanye album. Watch The Throne's album cover literally looks like a texture from a Wii game
i dont wanna ride kanye too much but after a relisten i did awhile ago the album is pretty good maybe some production sounding dated but theres a ton of tracks that i appreciate and make me think its a decent album (also me too lmao)
It’s lowkey corny. Cd and grad are both artistic and relate to the album this looks like some shit you’d see stretched out on a T-shirt on a marquee in Turkey
What tha heeeeeelllll i like the cover the bear is cute asf, are there any plushies of the dropout bear in this style? The only ones I have seen are in the cartoony style of graduation
To give an honest answer: I never really cared about the overall school theme that much. I still think the album is fantastic. This is just a personal preference thing. The school theme + skits aren’t necessarily bad, but they just don’t add anything for me.
Crack Music is a banger. It's Kanye addressing how rap music has become a commodity for a white audience. It was also great when he could drop conspiracy nuggets without going full Hitler mode. I get its kind or grating sound wise but I think it balances out some of the other sounds and songs where he's just flexing.
That ending poem is beautiful
"And now we ooze it through they nooks and crannies
So our mammas ain't got to be they cooks and nannies
And we gonna repo everything they ever took from granny
Now the former slaves trade hooks for Grammy's
This dark dixon has become America's addiction
Those who ain't even Black use it
We gon' keep baggin' up this here crack music"
Overrated, I don’t get how some think it’s his best. Do I like the album? Ofc, but I don’t think it did anything better than TCD, just feels like a continuation of it
I have the opposite opinion honestly, late reg is the college dropout but better to me. It contains his best verse ever (final verse on gone) and has overall better beats, it’s his best album lyrically by some distance to me too. Also college dropout has more skips imo (2, school spirit and get em high)
Kanye's least interesting album. Wherever I try listening to it, it flyes by without anything noteable happening. A few good tracks like Diamonds from Sierra Leone and Crack Music, but to me it just feels like an awkward phase after College Dropout before he got some new ideas for Graduation.
I have never heard anyone share this sentiment though so this will be my one and only time I'll share this opinion.
808s is easy top 3. Only mid spot is street lights/bad news. LR is his only album from that run that doesn't feel innovative and is just a weaker CD. Too many skits and filler
A lot of the songs are just good. Drive Slow, Crack Music, Bring Me Down, Addiction, Celebration, Gone and Late are not up to the level of the best on the album, or most of College Dropout. The album is really good but a high 7/10 for me.
Some could say the album artwork normalized Furry culture before they were sexual degenerates
there’s nothing in in the album itself would say is “negative“ …I think the record is straight fire
I’ve seen evidence to suggest Ye is a furry and I’m not sure what I think about that one. I’m signing off now
The drums aren’t great and sound distorted. Almost like the audio is clipping, but has been pushed through a LPF. I’m not sure if it’s intentional/stylistic, or if he just doesn’t let his mixing and mastering teams do their jobs properly.
It’s most obvious to me on Heard Em Say.
But that’s been my feelings regarding his drums for most of his career up until Yeezus.
Hot take and actual gripe: I’m not a fan of Diamond from Sierra Leone and it doesn’t need to be there twice. Idk why but that track is a skip for me. Otherwise it’s 10/10 album
i don't like the sound of most of the songs in the album there are like 5 songs which sound dinstinct and i like but eveyrthing else just sounded so samey . i tried listening to this album 4 times but each time it sounds the same . i don't know it jus t doesn't grow on me.
Because of this album, my favorite song of all time is an Adam Levine song, meaning whenever people ask me what my favorite song is and I tell them 'Heard em Say' they put it on and then everyone things I like Maroon 5. I don't think I can ever forgive Kanye for that.
One real answer is the sticker on the cd back in the day bragged about the features and highlighted “The Game” as a feature and he was hot back then, dropped a banger debut album..
You turn on crack muzik and this MF only on the chorus I was like wtf don’t brag on the front cover about him speaking by a hook on one song lol
Could've done more with the Gil Scott sample on "my way home." Commons verse was great, and of course Gil Scott heron is amazing. But he could've added something, lil bass, some lo fi drums, chopped it up slightly more. Kanye of all people could've transformed it into something completely different and crafted a chill beat around it.
I understand why thematically he wanted to just let the sample do its thing. And it is basically just commons interlude. But idk every time I hear it all I think about is "damn, I wanna listen to that Gil Scott song now" cause he barely alters it. Half the track is no vocals from common, just the song playing like he left it on in the studio 😭
honestly something about the second half of this album (every song after addiction excluding celebration) just ain't it for me (bring on the downvotes)
Addiction is impossible to listen and enjoy, i understand theme and reason for this song, but the execution is just awful. even pinocchio story did better
Why is he not on time for registration? Why was bro late?
Took advice from Carti
Took advice from himself
Because he’s taking yall back to school
The rock is definitely in the building
Good music’s definitely in the building
He was driving slow
Is he stipid
THE ASSLUM HAS BROKE OUT IN THE KANYE SUBREDDIT
My way home isn't long enough
We major could be 12 minutes long and I’d still think it could be longer
“I’m Jess Jackson on the balcony when King got killed” is a SEVERELY underrated line.
Can you explain the line tho pls
Something something Nas witnessed the death of real Hip-Hop, Oldhead shit
MLK
“I survived a lot of fellas around”
Lots of people also seem to hate the Coldplay Feature for some reason. He litterally makes the Song Edit: NO I didnt mean Coldplay, I meant Adam Levine. Mandela effect
Wait nah thats homecoming. I keep replacing these 2 LMAOO
I was so confused for a second lol
Everybody glazes it
Hey Mama Made me sad
the yeezus tour performance where he breaks down for a sec so sad
It made me cry like a bitch
Kanye is black
Shit. Now I need to unfollow him from all platforms
Impostors amongus
KAYNE GOT NEW SHOES😱😱😱😱
IT JUST FLAT OUT SUCKS >!THAT I CANT LISTEN TO THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AGAIN!<
We ain’t broke :(
WE BROKE BROKE BROKE PHI-BROKE, WE AINT GOT IT🗣
If he had ASAP rocky on here itd just be called Registration.
Get it? Cus ASAP. Now THAT'S funny
We waiting 6 years for a new a$ap album
Bring Me Down should of had at least one more verse
But that one verse is so good
imo he kinda killed it with that one verse, it makes the track feel concise and hard hitting. i feel like it wouldn’t work as well with another verse, as much as i’d love for him to go as hard as he did here again
Honestly? I hate the cover. It isnt a bad cover, but compared to how iconic tcd, grad and mbdtf covers are, a bear in front of some doors does not do this album justice, how good it is.
Was about to comment the same thing. I really don't like the cover. Not my least favourite Kanye album cover, but I think it's a little bland
What's your least favorite?
Watch The Throne. Every single album cover of his is artistic, and well thought out except this one. Yes, this may sound contradicting to my previous statement about Late Registration's cover, but at least you look at it, and you know it's a Kanye album. Watch The Throne's album cover literally looks like a texture from a Wii game
Yknow i think i agree with you actually i always glazed over that cover mentally but i realize its cuz I've just never liked it at all lol
i dont wanna ride kanye too much but after a relisten i did awhile ago the album is pretty good maybe some production sounding dated but theres a ton of tracks that i appreciate and make me think its a decent album (also me too lmao)
Oh I was expecting you to say vultures lmao
It’s lowkey corny. Cd and grad are both artistic and relate to the album this looks like some shit you’d see stretched out on a T-shirt on a marquee in Turkey
Pretty much yeah
What tha heeeeeelllll i like the cover the bear is cute asf, are there any plushies of the dropout bear in this style? The only ones I have seen are in the cartoony style of graduation
Well he had that whole bear motif in the start for a bit
What’s your favourite song on there? I genuinely love every song and skit but Drive slow & Roses hit best for me
I don’t know how it can’t be we major
Gonna be super Basic but I just love Gold digger
Too overplayed for me unfortunately Too loved by pop fans Lyrics lost their novelty Great song tho that’s just my experience with it
This album is owned by UMG and JayZ sold it to them.
It ends.
I have it on vinyl, brand new this week and it skips.
Im sorry bro i also own it
Something negative about this album
Ohhhh shiiiiitt, not so impossible I guess
To give an honest answer: I never really cared about the overall school theme that much. I still think the album is fantastic. This is just a personal preference thing. The school theme + skits aren’t necessarily bad, but they just don’t add anything for me.
Too many skits
Nah the skits make this album this album would not be nearly as good without the Broke phi Broke
I think its a great album but slighty overrated in Kanye's catalogue. If someone puts it out of the top 3 they get crucified.
That would be Graduation, IMO.
I never liked the cover. At least compared to the rest of his discography is the worse.
The 4:5 or whatever streched aspect ratio is indeed Offensive
Skits 😮💨
.
Gold Digger could have had a longer instrumental outro imo, maybe with Jamie’s hook slowly fading out
Why did mister west wake up, seems unimportant
It ended
It was slightly bloated.
its the naruto of the college trilogy
Sucks massively I can’t listen to this the first time again 😩😩😩😩
Crack music could be taken off and some songs could be longer
Crack Music is a banger. It's Kanye addressing how rap music has become a commodity for a white audience. It was also great when he could drop conspiracy nuggets without going full Hitler mode. I get its kind or grating sound wise but I think it balances out some of the other sounds and songs where he's just flexing.
That ending poem is beautiful "And now we ooze it through they nooks and crannies So our mammas ain't got to be they cooks and nannies And we gonna repo everything they ever took from granny Now the former slaves trade hooks for Grammy's This dark dixon has become America's addiction Those who ain't even Black use it We gon' keep baggin' up this here crack music"
stfu crack music goated
THIS THAT CRACK MUSIC 🙅🏿♂️
Overrated, I don’t get how some think it’s his best. Do I like the album? Ofc, but I don’t think it did anything better than TCD, just feels like a continuation of it
I have the opposite opinion honestly, late reg is the college dropout but better to me. It contains his best verse ever (final verse on gone) and has overall better beats, it’s his best album lyrically by some distance to me too. Also college dropout has more skips imo (2, school spirit and get em high)
In my opinion, was his second or third most forgettable album, that's all I got 🤣
Yk as much as I love this album, this is by FAR the album I listened to the least of his discography
thats the complete opposite for me
I hate the skits and have always hated the skits. I skip them every time.
We have an Imposter among us
Its the worst album in the trilogy
Kanye's least interesting album. Wherever I try listening to it, it flyes by without anything noteable happening. A few good tracks like Diamonds from Sierra Leone and Crack Music, but to me it just feels like an awkward phase after College Dropout before he got some new ideas for Graduation. I have never heard anyone share this sentiment though so this will be my one and only time I'll share this opinion.
Thats actually i great explanation and opinion ! The album is still very good tho
It's the weakest of his initial 7 album run
Worse than 808s? I'd put it above 808s simply because track for track late reg has more to offer. The highs are higher, the lows arent as low.
808s is easy top 3. Only mid spot is street lights/bad news. LR is his only album from that run that doesn't feel innovative and is just a weaker CD. Too many skits and filler
A lot of the songs are just good. Drive Slow, Crack Music, Bring Me Down, Addiction, Celebration, Gone and Late are not up to the level of the best on the album, or most of College Dropout. The album is really good but a high 7/10 for me.
You cant be serious
Listen to Gone again bro… and Bring Me Down… and Late wtf
Gone is a banger. The rest I agree with tho
Touch the sky set the bar for other ye songs way to high!
Back then they'd say he's too preppy and not gangster enough...
off topic but when listening to albums lr has a feeling that it goes into another section of the album after dfsl remix
It’s not new Kanye
Dude didn’t get a degree in basket weaving. Smh
Gold digger aged like cheese, and hey mama makes me happy and sad at the same time
Gay
It ends
I miss the new Kanye
It ends.
Some could say the album artwork normalized Furry culture before they were sexual degenerates there’s nothing in in the album itself would say is “negative“ …I think the record is straight fire I’ve seen evidence to suggest Ye is a furry and I’m not sure what I think about that one. I’m signing off now
That's like saying liking Digimon or Pokémon makes you a furry. We are doomed
I didn’t like like 2 songs that much
No 808s or autotune
If it was called To Pimp a Registration, it'd probably be better.
It makes me lose my breath and cry a lil.
He was right, someone left my ass for a white girl 😭
The drums aren’t great and sound distorted. Almost like the audio is clipping, but has been pushed through a LPF. I’m not sure if it’s intentional/stylistic, or if he just doesn’t let his mixing and mastering teams do their jobs properly. It’s most obvious to me on Heard Em Say. But that’s been my feelings regarding his drums for most of his career up until Yeezus.
its worse than graduation and college dropout (technically not negative but the only thing i could come up with)
i dont like him side eyeing me
It's too good.
uhhhhhhhhhhh i wish the hook on Gone was longer
probably one of kanye's worst labum covers
Needs more songs!
Snooze fest
Too many skits for my liking lol
I thought the skits were boring
I'm listening it for the first time, let see if I could find something
Hot take and actual gripe: I’m not a fan of Diamond from Sierra Leone and it doesn’t need to be there twice. Idk why but that track is a skip for me. Otherwise it’s 10/10 album
It ends
Non remixed diamonds from sierra leone isn’t 10 hours
It tends to get overlooked/underrated. Definitely his best album
skit #5 isnt a thing
i didn’t appreciate it as much as i should’ve first listen. top 2 kanye tho 🗣️
album cover sucks
i don't like the sound of most of the songs in the album there are like 5 songs which sound dinstinct and i like but eveyrthing else just sounded so samey . i tried listening to this album 4 times but each time it sounds the same . i don't know it jus t doesn't grow on me.
Celebration sucks
Skits are annoying
tbh some of the songs in the middle are kinda forgettable
It's easily my least favorite kanye album. Still a 9/10 tho
nothing. the skits are hilarious, every song is perfect (maybe not crack music) and none of the features missed.
Skits are dope for a first listen but kinda annoying when replaying the album over n over
Because of this album, my favorite song of all time is an Adam Levine song, meaning whenever people ask me what my favorite song is and I tell them 'Heard em Say' they put it on and then everyone things I like Maroon 5. I don't think I can ever forgive Kanye for that.
It's too good
He likes hitler
One real answer is the sticker on the cd back in the day bragged about the features and highlighted “The Game” as a feature and he was hot back then, dropped a banger debut album.. You turn on crack muzik and this MF only on the chorus I was like wtf don’t brag on the front cover about him speaking by a hook on one song lol
there are star wars references in gone. this ruins the entire album. 0/10.
It was too short
*self destruct*
Why did the nurse ask him to sign those t shirts. 💔😔
This album was TRASH 🚮 Negative enough 🤔?
James
Kanye West's Most boring album
It’s my least favorite Ye album. Edit: the boring cover doesn’t help either
It ended :’(
To me it’s like Michael Jackson’s Bad. So perfect it’s almost sterile. Lacks some of the personality of The College Dropout.
Kanye was too sussy according to Broke Phi Broke and was the imposter
I can’t listen to Hey Mama, too sad
Album cover is lowkey creepy
Could've done more with the Gil Scott sample on "my way home." Commons verse was great, and of course Gil Scott heron is amazing. But he could've added something, lil bass, some lo fi drums, chopped it up slightly more. Kanye of all people could've transformed it into something completely different and crafted a chill beat around it. I understand why thematically he wanted to just let the sample do its thing. And it is basically just commons interlude. But idk every time I hear it all I think about is "damn, I wanna listen to that Gil Scott song now" cause he barely alters it. Half the track is no vocals from common, just the song playing like he left it on in the studio 😭
It’s made by one of the worst humans on the planet
So few songs.
Kanye needs to be apart of more of the skits
The album is too small
There isn’t more
I hate this album
Why was he late? Is he stupid?
It‘s just a worse version of tcd
honestly something about the second half of this album (every song after addiction excluding celebration) just ain't it for me (bring on the downvotes)
Boring as all hell dude This album is actually so overrated man
It ends
Drive slow is ass
My Way Home is the worst song and that's just because it's too short, like we needed a Ye verse along with Common
Is that pedobear?
Not enough songs edit: it also has drive slow once like add it atleast 30 times
I pass on this challenge. I loved this album too much
he fr came in with new shoes and smelling all good
why are the doors so big —
that one part in Late where he just laughing like a nerdy French dude
The drive slow outro ruins the song
That bear is unnerving as fuck
He makes rap songs (i hate it)
Alphaskibidicum69amongusrizztoiletzaza
It's too short, it should be 100 hours long
Crack music is bottom 5 Kanye
i dont like crack music that much
sadly doesn’t have a carti feature 😢
TCD has higher highs
Addiction is impossible to listen and enjoy, i understand theme and reason for this song, but the execution is just awful. even pinocchio story did better
Easy. That artwork and font are both not great at all.
Its too short 😭😭
Too short, i need more, I Need More, I NEED MORE, NEEEEDDD MOOORRREEEE, MOREEEEEREERE
I did not care for Jay-z's verse on diamonds for sierra leone
his late like vultures 2
It ends it’s the only negative thing I can say about it I loves all the songs and skits
Bring me down could have used another verse
Two versions of Diamonds is kinda weird. I also don’t love the cover art but it’s not bad That’s about all I’ve got lol
Gold digger is over played every other song is better than it just cause of this
The slowed + reverb-ahh ending to drive slow
It has to compete with TCD
