    Classic and imo underrated. Much more enjoyable than most other Jay & Kanye albums.

    If the bonus tracks replaced the filler this would have been a classic

    Has a few misfires but I'd be hard pressed not to call it a classic.

    Still pissed I missed out on the 1st listen along with the rest of the world when it dropped on iTunes.

    Haven't played it in full in awhile but considering the supposed tension between Ye & Jay, it really was a landmark project, two pillars of hip hop made a collabo like WTT.

    Otis song of the life

    Otis
    No Church
    Illest Mother f---er Alive
    Prime Time
    NIP
    Gotta Have It

    Honestly, Welcome to the Jungle swizz beats chorus is the only awful thing on the album in my mind, but I can see why people wouldn't like Lift Off that much.

    Their back and forth on Gotta Have It, beat on prime time >>>

    Also lift off is a pretty good track if you consider it a bey song.. as a throne song it kinda fails because ye is barely on it jay is, well, not on it at all lol. Imagine how goat it could have been with proper verses.. thats how I feel about it. Jay absolutely kills WTTJ

    Dropped the year I graduated from highschool. Still bangin

    Also sampled this, which would become one of my favorite curtis tracks


    I dont think i would have become a fan of curtis if it wasnt for all of kanyes soul samples

    I remember the day WTT dropped so well. Me and my mates were staying at my dads house, who was on holiday. We invited a bunch of people over two nights in a row throwing parties, and sitting outside bumping this during the sunrise. Such a great album, which reminds me of my best memories from being 16 and care free.
