Free Music Review: Kanye West- Late Registration
Hit: 4 Stars
Kanye really struck gold with his debut album College Dropout. But he struck platinum as far as record sales go with Late Registration. I believe this album sold 870,000 in its debut week! Now i know that this is not the only record that has sold that many but its the only one to actually be worth that many people buying it. Now first thing i have to say is that, this is a TOTALLY different record than College Drop out. Kanye has always been very creative and this album is just the same. But as far as sound goes, his first two albums sound totally different. The first reason being that for LR (Late Registration) he brought in legendary rock producer Jon Brion. Now that right there will help your creativatiy alot. But it also gave the album alot more of a darker appearance. I mean everything from the music to the album cover is darker. Thats why i always said that this is the perfect cover for this album. While Kanye is still very creative and his production is still on point, LR has a much more mature and darker feeling to it than his first did. Some of the standout tracks are "Heard Em' Say" which is a dreamy song that has a the bittersweet vocals of Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and a great piano line. "Gold Digger" would have been another standout if it did not get the crap played out of it. But my personal favorite track on this album is "Roses" which is the perfect song to describe this album. In between slow and mid tempo, very dark, but very deep and emotional. I remeber waiting up all night for this album the day before it came out, i specifically remember to i had my family over the week this came out. "Hey Mama" is a great good feeling track that will become a mother favorite track. Overall Kanye did it again with this album and he is really one of the very few alternative rappers left that is actually worth listening to besides Common. Buy this album!

Wit the exception of songs like gold digger , drive slow , and diamonds which were the singles of this album ? The rest is the album is tight. Good production and k. west's lirycs are truly sharp as an mc i must add. Idk why west chose to work with Paul wall ? he's super wack.Anyways i highly recommended its original as hell. Late registration is worth a purchase .Free Music Review: Trash.

When people start calling Kanye West one of the best new artists of the 21st century, you know something's wrong.Free Music Review: Wild Card
Hit: 4 Stars
Kanye West proves one thing if nothing else: Not all rap is created equal. Like many other achievements in popular music, West takes elements from soul, jazz, and pop, to mix with his bright, witty lyrics. Fun but also formidable, Kanye takes on the trappings of American material culture and understandably finds much to mock. With different meters and measures, Kanye West makes all other efforts seem stale. Giving snatches of wit, his rapping inspires some real laughs. While inserting the soundtrack of a seductive siren voice singing "Diamonds Are Forever," he tears off about the divide between American dreams and their (too often) unattainment. On 'Late Registration' the joker's wild--and often wise.
Free Music Review: Genius, par extreme
Hit: 5 Stars
I have seen the future of music, and his name is Kanye West, the singular genius who embodies the new generation of music. More of an innovator than a synthesizer of past forms, West's name will stand with other giants of musical innovation, including Monteverdi, Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Wagner, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Armstrong, Parker, Coltrane, and Davis. Musically, this album rivals the best work by any 20th century artist, and is sure to set the course for many generations of composers, not only in the hip-hop sphere, but also so-called "art music," whose latest incarnation is mired in serialism verging on a complete divorcement from musical tradition. The album sounds amazing, with such tracks as "Heard 'Em Say" (featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine) and "Hey Mama." "Crack Music" and "Gone" (featuring Cam'ron) rivals the most delicious in straight-up gangsta'. It's good to hear Brandy back on the wax with the duet "Bring Me Down." Peace, and a big shout out to my Detroit boyz'!!! Yaaah, son!
