thx

i'm anxious to take shit it tho. i've been doing more sampling type shit and i'm very picky on sounds but i need to find an ear for more

i want change in mainstream music. trap music sucks. pop music now-a-days lacks. i was just listening to Aerosmith - Amazing, that song tells a story. it has emotion. it follows a formula but breaks off from it. music lacks that now. people want money and to brag wayyyyyy too much.

Paul's Boutique is the most complex album in rap history. There are 105 songs sampled on it. The tonal and delivery shifts and line-for-line back-and-forths from the rappers is unequaled. The lyricism improved dramatically.

It's not even particularly influential because no one has tried anything on its level, in terms of orchestration. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the only other rap album that compares.

To be clear, I'm not saying Paul's Boutique is better than Licensed to Ill. Licensed to Ill has undeniable appeal. But Paul's Boutique was the masterwork. In the same way, I like Late Registration more than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is Kanye West's masterwork.

I only object to your ignorant dismissal, not your opinion.

Late Registration can be seen as Kanye's masterwork though

all the instrumental sections, he brought in a dude who did movie scores for a rap album. late registration has more songs and is a complete glimpse of Kanye, without too many features, etc.

I thought Paul's Boutique was good but License to ill has far more classics

LTI was dope for what it was. still is
but they even admit that they were basically just fucking around on LTI and creating party personas that weren't even what they were really about at the time, but it sold. Paul's was them actually doing the shit that they wanted to do, that's why I like it better.

If you're putting one on your iPod for shuffle play, Licensed to Ill is the smart choice. If you're sitting down in a quiet room and really listening, the complexity of Paul's Boutique will come through.

Certain has good taste in music.

Okay i see what you mean @Certain about paul's, i agree, but I can't listen to it front to back like i can with ill, so it's not as good
