Pros Excellent and ambitious production, good guests.
Cons Kanye still isn?t all that good on the mic, more dumb skits.
Recommended it? Yes

Hip-Hop's connection with Kanye West is the epitome of the love/hate relationship. On one hand, we love the way he returned commercial rap production from keyboard mashing back to vinyl sampling, then pushed that aesthetic even further through his wide-ranging and unmistakably musical sound and...

Kanye West's Late Registration --- His second album is almost as good as College Dropout

bythree_ster Jan 9, 2006

Pros unique beats and rhythms, some very catchy songs, more innovative lyrics
Cons uneven between songs
Recommended it? Yes

Kanye West exploded on the music scene with his debut album The College Dropout. Songs like Through The Wire and Jesus Walks really set him up as someone who sounded like nothing else on the radio, and quickly I became a fan. As soon as Late Registration came out I knew I was going to have to add... Read full review »

Kanye West touches the sky but hits the ceiling: Late Registration

Pros Flawless production, ambitious feel, improved lyrics, guests.
Cons Still only above average rapping, skits, contradictions.
Recommended it? Yes

Yep another mini-comeback for me. Wattup y'all, it's been a long time…

The rise of Kanye West has been as impossible to ignore as it has been meteoric. Starting off as one of Roc-A-Fella's leading producers – dropping gems for Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel amongst many others – the release... Read full review »

Cons Overabundance of skits; Kanye doesn't really hold your attention often
Recommended it? Yes

Kanye West is an asshole.

You're probably thinking "Gee Big D, Tell me something I don't know". Okay. I had sex with your mother. ...*silence*... No seriously. Kanye's an arrogant dickhead. The man cries when he doesn't win an award. He thinks he's better than everybody else. He thinks... Read full review »

Cons who? conye west?
Recommended it? Yes

People, Kanye West's "Late Registration" is a hip-hop album for the dreamer in all of us.

And you, too.

Regardless of what you think of the guy's public persona, or his past work, we have a wondrous piece of musical art on our hands with his sophomore effort.

Pros Production, production, production
Cons sometimes Kanye open his mouth
Recommended it? Yes

Kanye West is the man to hate to love or love to hate of 2005. The producer-turned rapper extraordinaire has definitely managed to keep a steady buzz, be it positive or negative, about himself going over the last 2 years or so. He started off as a producer and revived the lost art of soul sampling,... Read full review »

Cons I don't know. "Crack Music."
Recommended it? Yes

When I first heard The College Dropout, I couldn't help but think of that dreaded "overrated" word -- although, considering how cool it's become to hate on Kanye, that may no longer apply. Sure, the album wasn't bad, but it was only REALLY good about half the time. I figured the curse of the... Read full review »
