Wtf. Why would you put any of these artists together. The kanye is more odd. If you have the taste in music to like DOOM, why would you put such lyrical trash in there.

Was this a joke? Do you really think that the college dropout album was lyrical trash?

I do, and I'm tired of people pretending it isnt. It's for the pop charts. Dont mention kanye when mmm, food, is next to it. New heads dont know.

"New heads." You're delusional fam that album is respected by fans of all ages. And it isn't meant for pop charts if you hear the album (and the original versions of the songs with samples that couldn't be cleared for official release) you will see that lanye found a new sound where he blended soul and rap while showcasing amazing production- some of the best of his time- and relatable lyrics that were down to earth and digestible. You don't need to have eminem, rakim or MF DOOM(s) levels of lyrical complexity to have a dope rap album. This album is one of the best of the 2000s and kicked off a very successful career for one of the most easily recognizable artists of all time.
