MBDTF no longer feels like the fourth entry in the "College Dropout" tetralogy.

I just remembered back over the summer when we were still toying with the title of "Good Ass Job" (honestly, I am really glad that's not the title), a lot of people were saying that the 5th album would be the fourth album that completed the tetralogy that started with College Dropout. Originally he was going to release this back in 2008/2009, but we got 808s instead (which was wonderful). I just feel like based on what we know about this album, it is a far cry from the "College series". Maybe I'm wrong. But I think at this point I am comfortable with calling the first three albums the trilogy. He dropped out, registered late, and finally graduated. Perfect. But as far as Power and Runaway are concerned, they just seem like far cries from the theme of the original trilogy.

Thoughts?

I can agree to this. At first, I thought it was like that as well, but after listening to it all day its in its own lane to be honest. Maybe he might start another trilogy or trend to keep the fans interested. Its possible.

I was the one of those people that said that tbh, and its the complete opposite of what I thought it was gonna be.
