Cons: THIS guy put Chicago on the map of rap!
KAYNE WEST a. Remember those two words people because youre going to be hearing them of for a LONG Time. He is the new star who TOATLYY said one day to himself just after college "RAP MUSIC IS GREAT AND EASY TO DO BECAUSE ITS IT JUST TALKING WHILE SOMEONE ELSE MAKE A RUYHTM SOUND. WHY NOT START RAPPING!" And then he went out and did it folks. PLUS he reinvent the styles grownn to be loved by almost all of America. He can speed it up (THERE WAS A MINOR INCIDENT IN GYM CLASS) OR slow it dowen (call a slow jam by your nearby radio station) with a great song for two young lovers called (IF YOU DONT HAVE SYRUP THEN TRY SOME POWDERED SUGAR AND A LITTLE BUTTER) which you have to listen closely.
EVery since KAYNE WERST have begun making records, the hole world said HEY WHERE CAN I GET A COPY, ITS FOR A FRIEND, I SWEAR...the raps stations have begung saying THIS IS GREAT. HE one an award from the president recently on television and donated some charity. WARNING: IF oyou have a volui ...

Pro Reviews: Late Registration
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews And then, in a flash, Kanye was everywhere, transformed from respected producer to bigname producer/MC, throwing a fit at the American Music Awards, performing "Jesus Walks" at the Grammys, wearing his diamondstudded Jesus piece, appearing on the cover of Time, running his mouth 24/7. One thing that remains unchanged is Kanye's hunger, even though his head has swollen to the point where it could be separated from his body, shot into space, and considered a planet. Raised middle class, Kanye didn't have to hustle his way out of poverty, the number one key to credibility for many hiphop fans, whether it comes to rapper turned rapping labelpresidents or suburban teens. And now that he has proved himself in another way, through his stratospheric success which also won him a gaggle of haters as passionate as his followers he doesn't want to be seen as a novelty whose ambitions have been fulfilled. On Late Registration, he finds himself backed into a corner, albeit as king of the mountain. It's a paradox, which is exactly what he thrives on. His followup to The College Dropout isn't likely to change the minds of the resistant. As an MC, Kanye remains limited, with alltoofamiliar flows that weren't exceptional to begin with (you could place a number of these rhymes over College Dropout beats). He uses the same lyrical strategies as well. Take lead single "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," in which he switches from boastful to rueful; more importantly, the conflict felt in owning blood diamonds will be lost on those who couldn't afford one with years of combined income. Even so, he can be tremendous as a pure writer, whether digging up uncovered topics (as on "Diamonds") or spinning a clever line ("Before anybody wanted K. West's beats, me and my girl split the buffet at KFC"). The production approach, however, is rather different from the debut. Crude beats and drastically temposhifted samples are replaced with a more traditionally musical touch from Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann), who coproduces with West on most of the tracks. (Ironically, the Just Blazehelmed "Touch the Sky" tops everything laid down by the pair, despite its heavy reliance on Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up.") West and Brion are a good, if unlikely, match. Brion's string arrangements and brass flecks add a new dimension to West's beats without overshadowing them, and the results are neither too adventurous nor too conservative. While KRSOne was the first to proclaim, "I am hiphop," Kanye West might as well be the first MC to boldly state, "I am pop." - Andy Kellman, All Music Guide |

Pros: Extremely good lyrics, even better than The College Dropout
Cons: Some of his songs are a little too kanye, i mean all the beats are dope but I think some of the songs have a little too much soul but a lot of people might not think that, but it is more soulful than his other album
His lyrics are insane, he makes rappers like 50 cent look like a joke with their stupid lyrics. He even rhymes like 3 big words in a row. Diamonds are forever is pretty good. In Livin' A Movie he has a hot beat and then it names all these movies names in it and stuff, one of his rhymes is "my bling's got em' callin' me lord of the rings". Hey Mama is one of those songs with a lot of soul but still is good. Peace has the hottest rhyme I ever heard at the beginning of it. There are also a couple of nice songs with John Legend. I also heard a song he did with Jin(the chinese rapper from BET) that is nice but im not sure if it will be on his album. But overall a great CD just a little lower than the College Dropout. ...
