Late Registration is the latest Rap CD published by the highly talented Kanye West has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. IÂ'm confident Kanye Fans of the West, and Rap fans alike will be delighted with this person.
Unfortunately, the ITA's not every day that I get a CD from a artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just CanÂ't me spend. Not at all the case with Late Registration. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from beginning to end.
One of the things refreshingly well on this CD is the average of all participating artists seem to really enjoy themselves. Combine this with the overall youÂ've and obtained one of the most impressive releases Kanye West has ever known.
Listen and I think youÂ'll agree the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Kanye West is clearly in top form.
While the entire album is outstanding the melodies are really standout Track 3 – Touch The Sky, Track 10 – Bring Me Down, and track 21 – late.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat "] is track 1 – Wake Up Mr. West. Great track!
