If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want.

Example: I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye (you can get more specific but that's enough imo). And then someone will respond with X, Y, and Z

You can also recommend an artist/project/scene

Example: You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats.

Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question.

Also the more descriptive you guys are with your posts the easier it is to help you find what you want, just stating an artists name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

[DISCUSSION] Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (10 Years Later)

Posted: 21 Nov 2020 09:00 PM PST

On this day in 2010, Kanye drops My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

The culmination of self-imposed exile in Hawaii months after the infamous VMA incident, Kanye enlisted the help of a star-studded "Rap Camp" including the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce, RZA, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, among others. A Complex article detailing the creation process can be found here.

This album was preceded by "G.O.O.D. Fridays" with songs from these studio sessions dropping every week in anticipation of the project's drop. He then dropped a 35 minute film "Runaway" to accompany the album which included most songs off the project. It quickly debuted atop the Billboard 200 the following week and floored critics receiving rave reviews for what can be argued as his magnum opus. It went on to receive the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2012.

10 years later, there's a lot to be said about what this album did for Kanye and where it sits in his career.

Dark Fantasy (feat. Nicki Minaj, Teyana Taylor & Bon Iver)
Gorgeous (feat. Kid Cudi & Raekwon) ^{add. vocals by Tony Williams}
POWER (feat. Dwele) ^{add. vocals by Alvin Fields & Kenneth Lewis}
All Of The Lights (Interlude)
All Of The Lights (feat. Rihanna, Elly Jackson, Kid Cudi, Fergie, Drake, Alicia Keys & Elton John) ^{add. vocals by Alvin Fields, Kenneth Lewis, John Legend, Tony Williams, Ryan Leslie, The-Dream & Charlie Wilson}
Monster (feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver & Charlie Wilson)
So Appalled (feat. Jay-Z, Pusha T, CyHi The Prynce, Swizz Beatz & RZA)
Devil In A New Dress (feat. Rick Ross)
Runaway (feat. Pusha T) ^{add. vocals by Tony Williams}
Hell Of A Life ^{add. vocals by Teyana Taylor & The-Dream}
Blame Game (feat. John Legend)
Lost In The World (feat. Bon Iver) ^{add. vocals by Alvin Fields, Kenneth Lewis, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Alicia Keys, Kaye Fox & Elly Jackson}
Who Will Survive In America (feat. Gil-Scott Heron)

Points for Discussion

Where does this sit among his discography?
Is this album truly influential or is it just an amazing project on its own? Many claim it changed the sphere of hip-hop but how did it do so?
Favorite song here? Favorite beat?
Is this a classic album?
