It gets praised way too highly. Let me do a litte breakdown why…
We have 21 tracks here. 5 are annoying skits and are completely useless. So we now have 16 outta 21 tracks left that you might not skip. “Addiction” is horrible and another version of “Diamonds From Sierra Leone” did not need to be heard for a second time in 25 minutes. So right now I’d cut 1/3 of the album. Not too good for a contender for the “album of the year” honors.
We start off with “Heard 'Em Say” and it’s a great start, nice mellow track. Next he switches up with some blaring horns on the next track. Just like how the soft “Hey Mama” comes after the hectic “We Major” (I’ll get back to this in a sec). A just don’t think this album flow together nicely. He should have arranged the songs in a better order. Now Nas is easily one of my favourite artists and I would think that him teaming up with Kanye would produce a gem but Nas doesn’t come thru as usual over this over-produced track. Those keys (or is it a harp) are very annoying and come close to ruining the song. A few other guestspots are pretty average too such as Paul Wall and Cam’ron (actually Cam’ron’s appearance was just terrible).
I could go on and break this album down further if I wasn't lazy. All in all, I feel this album gets praised simply cause of it’s complex production and “soulful” songs. It’s a good album, but not great.

I agree with KayneWests album being the most overated album but the top 5 most underated albums are
1.DJ Quik - Trauma
2.GZA/Muggs - Grandmasters
3.Little Brother - The Minstrel Show
4.Common - Be
5.Cormega - The testament

MOST UNDERRATED/SLEPT ON/UNDER THE RADAR ALBUM:
Kev Brown - I Do What I Do
Greatest Album in a long time

I thought this album was a banger until I heard it the second time, then it got really gay. this guy pisses me off.

gay. this guy pisses me off.

agreed

i actually think Be is more overrated then Late Registration. to me it just feels like people are praising the shit outta this album coz it´s Common and it´s supposed to be a "real" hip hop album but to me it´s just a little better then average.

i've been saying that for so long. :'(

It’s a good album, but not great.
Now that right there pretty much sums it up.
However, I still rate it as one of 2005's finest. The majority of the albums I've checked this year were good but not classic. Just like Kanye's. It's just a good album but far from flawless. There's some annoying songs on the album and the skits REALLY suck, but all in all it's still quite decent.
-
I never understood why so many rap-artists are in love with skits. Always hated them. Even the GOOD skits, which are rare enough, get annoying after a while. I hate the ones you can't skip since they arent a seperate track the most. Oh god, fuck useless skits.
-
the remix version of diamonds from sierra leone is sick especially when jay z spits. the skits were funny at first but after a second listen got annoying but all skits usually get annoying after the first listen. we major was a major dissapointment wit the king of new york on it. hands down gold digger was one of the most annoying tracks of 2005 cuz the radio stations and clubs made that shit played out in like a week. overall the album is far from classic but still a decent above average album. Be was a pretty sick album IMO though but i wouldnt quite label it a classic like a lot of the reviews r giving it like XXL.

are you sure 'The Massacre' isnt the most overrated album this year? "We Major", "Touch The Sky", "Drive Slow", and "Crack Music" themselves are >>>>> than any track on 'The Massacre' except for "Ski Mask Way" maybe

Hereby I nominate "We Major" as the most overrated track of 2005. Have you ever heard Nas drop an incredibly wack verse like that? Or how about that half-ass talented ReallyDoe using default rhymes? The verses don't match. And how about Kanye extending the track by two minutes just to talk a little, just so he can show off with his over-produced beat a little? It's a good beat overall, but it should have been toned down. That song is more overrated than the album, I tell you.
-
Kanye and Common albums .. by far , mostly coz of the annoying (yes) production . Quik one was overrated a lil on the board too and Warren G one hated for no reason (outside the bootleg thing)
-
tha documentary most overrated album of the year for me, well overhyped, closely followed by kanye and common(really good album, hardly any songs and beats become quite repetative)
warren g - in the mid nite hour is the most underrated this is easily a 4 mic album, very solid with only 1 weak song for me(wheels keep spinnin)

The Massacre is the most overrated album this year. It's beyond me how anyone can release such a garbage album.

Ain't that the truth.
Late Registration is a tight album as far as I'm concerned. Oh wel, everyone's got their own opinion...

How is album sales relevant to being overated or underated...I bought the album but I think its overated. Not everyone who bought the album enjoys it or thinks it good. I threw my Encore album in the trash after I listend to it.

By buying that album you are already overrating it. Don't tell me differently.
Happy new year.

Personally I think the Documentary is overrated. The album is hit or miss and the production is not as great as people make it out to be.

co sign, the lyrics are also garbage.

Yeah, Late Registration & Be are the most overrated. They're both good, but not THAT good. The Massacre was hated by everyone except middle school cockriders who made up the majority of the sales.

Late Registration was a good album, but does not deserve the acclaim it gets at all.

id agree that Be was way more overated
