So NT, which album is better, Lupe's Food & Liquor or Kanye's College Dropout?

F&L is better though...

same here.

i enjoy College Dropout a whole lot more ( how could you not? ), but from an unbiased point of view, how well-rounded F&L was and the lyricism behind it, ijust feel it's the better album.


both are appreciated though. the dawn of hip-hop's best of the new school.

i still remember when Through the Wire dropped. people were going crazy over Kanye. and EVERYBODY was talking about Jesus Walks. i even remember our pastor using it in a sermon saying that hip-hop music was changing

i love F&L. this is a completely fair comparison... but CD was just on some other shhh....

the album CERTAINLY could have done without the skits nonsense, Workout Plan, and Breathe In Breathe Out , though.

It went over your head.

uhh... no. Gtfohwtbs

i've said time and time again on NT that F&L is one of my favorite albums, and IMO the best debut album since Illmatic (yes, i mean that).

however... in the context of this thread, i think that College Dropout is the "better" album because when it dropped, Kanye was able to latch on tothe mainstream and deliver his message in a revolutionary way.

IMO, from a pure hip-hop standpoint F&L is one of the most amazing albums of all time. but while it was so great, its message fell on deaf ears for themost part because it could not carry its message to the public like CD could.

i don't know if i'm making sense or not.. but, yeah...

I love both albums but CD is a classic to me..every track top to bottom was

...although I do agree that Breathe In Breathe Out could have been subbed out for something else as well as a couple of the skits..the first SchoolSpirit skit got me dyin to this day still though

Wait a minute how did Cd change yall *$@@$# lives?

Were yall lamesbefore and then started acting and dressing like Kanye after it dropped? Thus, becoming lamer?

 

[southzeztpdot]

The depth of F&L > CD

 

[eddiehouse5]

college dropout had the bigger impact, but musically, food and liquor is better.

i don't see why impact would factor into the equation of "better" album- it should be a factor in naming the more more important album imo.

and unless you were a young impressionable youth, i don't see how cd changed your life, so i think some people are just trying to hype up cd. just say youlike it better, no need to fake it.

College Dropout

 

[travman24]

College Dropout..my fav album of all time. IMO nothing better has dropped since.
