Great album but not a classic

CD, LR and MBDTF all rank higher for me

Its got classic songs but some sound dated today. Only ones I still listen to are Good Morning, Cant Tell Me Nothing, Flashing Lights, Barry Bonds

Not mad at anyone calling it a classic though
 
The Midnight Marauders of Kanye's mid 2000s trifecta. Slept on in hindsight because of the albums that followed and preceded it. The promo got cut short due to his mother passing, it could've been a lot bigger.

I remember the day I bought it along with Curtis, I remember ripping the plastic off and listening to both albums, I remember rocking out with Graduation while leaving Curtis at my homegirl's crib, and I remember going back to her crib the next day with Graduation playing in my headphones to see the cover of Curtis covered in blunt guts and ash. Memories create classics, and this was a prime example of one to me.

This analogy doesn't work at all. MM is THE Tribe album that is talked about the most and usually ranked the highest.

That album is far from slept on

More than Low End Theory? I think that joint is in the Library of Congress. MM is for the 80s babies that was actually there for it... you and I know it's their best album, but LET and People's Travels had the bigger overall impact.

Now had used People's that would've been a better analogy.

LET and MM is either 1 or 2 on the best Tribe album list with People's being 3.
 
For years Barry Bonds and Drunk & Hot Girls have been called weak.

They probably are the 2 "weakest" songs on the album, but both are dope imo
i knew ppl didn’t like drunk and hot girls, i did not know that about barry bonds

i always liked barry bonds. i also like its placement in the album. it fits right after can’t tell me nothing and before flashing lights…at least in my opinion
