This album should really be rated "18+", since it takes a mature listener to appreciate this kind of mature hip-hop music.

You don't even have to be a hip hop fan, just a fan of music, to appreciate Kanye West and his artistry.

On the whole though, 'Late Registration' is a solid set. And by freshening up his style without entirely abandoning it, West still has the rest of the rap world playing catch-up.

It's a cleverly and thoughtfully composed album, bereft of filler and loaded with style and substance.

"Late Registration" feels more comfortable in its own skin than its predecessor. A more restrained affair, it doesn't shout so loud to drown out doubts about its genius architect's shortcomings on the mic.

Late Registration's best moment is a political statement more personal in nature.

He's very good, but you don't make classics by trying to make classics.

Let's just get this out of the way up front: Kanye's latest album is album-of-the-year at best, not album of the next 20 or 30 or 40 years, which is what various publications have insinuated by giving 'Ye's sophomore effort perfect scores.

This is a thought provoking album.

But as it stands now, Late Registration is still a pretty good, albeit flawed, album, and it's still great to have someone as exciting as Kanye making pop music today.

So then the album's only ambition is to be good -- well, not just good, the goodest ever.

On the whole however, KW's album can only be thought of as even remotely good while we don't have a young, hungry KRS One, RZA, Rakim Allah, Gift of Gab or Ol Dirty Bastard to challenge him

Late Registration is a decent, decisive step forward in Kanye's atypical, bourgeoisie ascension into the higher echelons.

This is the best follow-up album of any rapper in history.Most artist have one big album and never have another one. Kanye only has two albums and both are hit albums. Also, he made history wit the song golddigger. This song was name one the biggest songs in music history.So anybody who dont like this album dont really like music. |

Yo, classic album. Im 16 years old and the shit Kanye says is just sick. Every body is on Weezy about being the best rapper alive but this is the best rapper/producer of our time. And dats real. Dis album was a good look for hip hop. "Graduation" will be only better... |
