Five years ago today, Kanye West dropped 'The Life of Pablo.' Optical disc

I like the original father stretch my hands version
Original version

Second version


Real Friends is my favorite track on this album

Had some of the worst lyrics Kanye has ever spit in his life but still the music itself was pretty good

I’d rather listen to his instrumentals

MBDTF is the single-handed greatest hip hop album of all time and you got it at #4

Im flabberghasted
It would've been significantly higher if I didn't hear over half the album before it came out. Singlehandedly tho? Like Def Jam, Wu Tang, and even Black Hippy don't exist? I mean, Kanye was Def Jam when it dropped but you get the idea.
 
I actually liked that album when it came out. About 3-4 songs too long. Regardless of how you feel about Kanye, this album had ALOT of good songs. Production was def the highlight of the album, as is the case w alot of kanye projects, being that he is a producer.
Favorite song- Famous or FML

Sidenote... I dont really listen to the radio much, so this album was the 1st time I heard designer's Panda. I was like "COTDAMN, Kanye got a dope Future feature, whoo!!!" hahaha
 
I don't like it much but its mixed very well and like all Kanye albums it's a perfect reflection of his life at the time

But yeah nah the vocals on it are just horrible
 
The production was great on this album but Kanye’s rapping was horrible

Father Stretch My Hands is an amazing song until he starts talking about bleached assholes (pause)

Havent revisited this album since around the time it came out

I do think Kanye has one more classic in him if he gets focused tho
 
this should've been on the album. I don't know what he was thinking cutting this.
