Review Summary: Late Registration is Kanye West at his very best, with a wide variety of soulful, emotionally inspired beats and charming, at times self-indulgent lyrics. This album is my second favorite of 2005. Who would have thought that getting Jon Brion to produce would turn out to be such a great move?
For some, Dropout proves hip-hop is in a rut, as an example of what everybody else isn’t doing; for others, it proves hip-hop is still evolving, as music nobody outside hip-hop could make. one of my favorite albums ever.This Message Edited On 12.31.08. And put them lottery tickets just to tease us, This album is my second favorite of 2005. Who would have thought that getting Jon Brion to produce would turn out to be such a great move?

Late Registration by Kanye West released August 30, 2005 reviewed by FreeJC After Kanye’s first entry as a rapper, some considered The College Dropout one of the strongest debuts in hip hop history.
My favourite tracks: 'Drive Slow', 'Gold Digger', and absolutely amazing 'Diamonds From. The amount of effort that was put into this album shines in. I love Jon Brion and Kanye, but it just didn't seem like a good match. the fact that this trendy crap is considered rap album of the year makes me sick. Want more Rolling Stone?
All over Late Registration, he indulges his sentimental R&B-poet side (“Roses”), his Seventies slow-jam love jones (“Celebration”), his wit (“Gold Digger”), his hard-ass politics (“Crack Music”) and his love of Maroon 5 (“Heard ‘Em Say,” featuring Adam Levine). I love the first 5 or so tracks, and the last 3, but the middle is just a big yawn for me. - 31 Critic Reviews Nice review, though I have no intent of ever hearing this album. Give ‘Ye a harpsichord and he will make it funky.
Not a dud, certainly not a work of cosmic art. “We Major” is the high point, but it’s a close call on an album where nothing sucks except the skits. Late Registration really wants to be an album album, which makes all the more frustrating and undermining the fact that it mirrors the flaws of its predecessor: the glut and the stilted sequencing.
My favourite tracks: 'Drive Slow', 'Gold Digger', and absolutely amazing 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone'.
mmmkay. It’s a splashy Love Boat disco groove, featuring a guest rap from Nas — a megasurprise considering that West produced Jay-Z’s Nas-bashing classic “Takeover.” Midway through, the music fades to silence and then West asks, “Can I talk my shit again?” The beat kicks back in and West proudly talks his shit, still going strong as the groove rolls on past the seven-minute mark.

Now my lil cousin smokin those cigarettes now, It’s the best family-affair tearjerker since Ghostface’s “All That I Got Is You,” as West raps, “Can I cry, please?/Gimme a verse of ‘You Are So Beautiful to Me. ya'll ain't lookin in the right, weak corny rap. Late Registration is an undeniable triumph, packed front to back, so expansive it makes the debut sound like a rough draft. The diamonds remix with Jay Z is also amazing, maybe should of been brought out instead of the orginal as it hits home the problems tith trade etc as long as having one of the best rappers ever apperaing on the track. Late Registration is the second of West's planned four education-themed studio albums. Sign up for our newsletter.
