Kanye West - Late Registration Discussion

[Get In The Van I Have Candy]

Late Registration

I think it's really good but not better then college dropout. But it's always hard to make a new cd as good or better when the previous cd was a classic.

Agreed 100%.

Late Registration

Havent listened to all of it yet, some of it sounds tight though. We Major is fuckin ILL.

Late Registration

I think his lyrics were better on college dropout....beats were too

 

[TCD]

Late Registration

I've got 5 songs (damn you mods) and it definetely sounds more mature. TCD sounds more bouncy in reflection and from what I've heard NO CHIPMUNKS!!!!!

i like the new kanye, i don't think its better than college drop out but i mean, how are u expected to follow that up??? nonetheless this cd will stay in my rotation for a long while... oh and on the track "Gone" who does he feature? Otis Redding right? which song?

!!! Kanye's Drive Slow Sounds Like... :0

Late Registration is the best-produced hip-hop album since The Cold Vein.

Late Registration

I enjoyed this album more, the production has more soul and i liked how he didnt speed up the samples this time. Roses is my fav track so far, dissapointed Game didnt drop a verse... But the album flows nicely...

Late Registration

College dropout was not a classic at all. Some cheesy/wack rhymes and way too many skits to be a classic

Thats like what, almost 5 years, saying a lot. El-P was amazing on that too. Kanye lives up to it.

would your hate for jay-z have anything to do with your dissatisfation with kanyes album

 

[Diddy7]

It's alright. It's not as good as some people are trying to make it out to be. Both of Kayne's album's try to tug on ones softer side and we all know what kind of effect that can have on the listener. They will parallel his hardships with their own in turn creating a feeling of empathy. They will envision themselves as the down trodden and the album will then inspire them. Kayne is smart for pulling on people's emotions like that. He'll also mix it up with some songs like 'Drive Slow' to add variety.

This album by far doesn't have that 'Big Bang' that other classics have. It takes a while for it to catch on and even longer for those who are not as easily drawn in by Kayne's struggle. The beats are simply OK. Anyone who says otherwise is just sucking his dick. The tracks on 'The Documentary' were alot better produced than these. Kayne chooses to stray from your typical club banger. His beats are simple and meloncholy (sp.) You can tell this from both College Dropout and Late Registration.

All in all it was a decent album but his cockiness and arrogance and fake belief in God still make in a phony SOB.

August 29th out here, but heh.. the album seems cool, would of been really hard for him to top that first album but he gave it a good try. "Hey Mama", ive had that song for some months now but still probs one of the best songs on album and that one where h samples Pac a little, think it's called "Drive Slow".

 

[Infamous Josedy]

Why does everybody say he sampled Pac?Kanye sampled Hank Crawford's "Wildflower" which was a redone version of the New Birth track by the same title.Johnny J just happened to sample "Wildflower" as well.
Late Registration is a good album, and the production is amazing, and Kanye def. grew up as a lyricist.

because theyre kids who dont remember that far back.


on topic, i think its great that he made this sort of album, this is what hip hop should be about.

i dont think he ll be as successful tho as theres not alot of booty shaking shit on here........... and u know the 12 year olds cant feast on that. lets just hope he has a loyal fanbase. :thumb:

 

[chief_Rocka]

it's okay

 

[roaches]

College Dropout was corny. It was also extremely overproduced - he made all those ridiculous changes after the advance leaked early to make sure there was a different product, and you can tell it was rushed.

Kanye's still pretty corny, but he's improved a lot on this album.
