this like some opera sh*t. hip hop is beat boxin spittin on roof tops corners and sh*t. this sounds like i went to the opera and listen to rap music. all yu white boys who said he aint talkin about fu*kin and dealin aint listiin. he just doesnt do it on every song

No Bittersweet???

even the skits arent as bad as the first album


Late Registration >>> College Dropout

yea i def. like this sh*t!

In my opinion this is on par with College Dropout.I agree that this album is on a totally opposite end of the spectrum than College Dropout but that doesnt make the album bad at all.It had a nice smooth vibe to it.It has that "I could just listen to this album all day while smoking a bunch of blunts" kinda feel.But this does deserve a 5 out of 5.

damnn im downloadin right now.. cant wait for this sh*ttt

This doesnt sound like RAP

2/5 for lyrics * the man is disgraceful on the MIC compared to rappers in the industry

NO COMMENT on the music,,.....this aint really the rap i listen to ,.....actually it barely sounds like rap

Kanye just trying to send yall a message
Expend your minds!!!!

4 BX for sure

^^^^that sh*t would be funny if u threw a magazine and the store teller would be like wtf did u do that for? you'd be like cuz my n*gga kanye didnt get a perfect score ahahahah

nah but i listened to it 3times and i give it 4/5 every song has grown on me besides the brandy track and the we major track ft nas cut those 2 songs outta this album and definiatly a 5/5

favorit trax are
1.Addiction
2.Touch The Sky
3.I heard'em say
4.Crack Music
5. On my way home

yall go buy this sh*t cuz i am

yungdreacb said On that Drive Slow, somebody else used that sample, can somebody point it out for me

2Pac's Shorty Wanna Be A Thug, off All Eyez On Me

Coppin the retail for sure.........

this album = best of 05

kanye definately went in a different direction on this one, sh*ts still hot tho

he got deeper with his lyrics and that i like, only thing i dont like is he over did the outro on the songs with all that singin sh*t. thats good for a few songs, but its like half the cd, i'd rather hear more rappin from him and less singin from those people.

but its still hot, 4.25/5

this is a definite buy...Late Registration>College Dropout...ALBUM OF THE YEAR....i think i'll be listening to his all night...i'm tellin ya...if you truly think this album isn't good...if this doesn't get 5 mics...if this doesn't get an XXL...if this isn't considered a classic...i'm tellin you right now, i dont know what will top this in 05

im feelin it...i dont give it 5 mics but at least a 4..i like the laid back flow on most of the cd

n*ggaz that are hatin have to understand that some area of hip hop has to evolve at one point or another, we're lucky enuff 2 experience that thru kanye....not sayin he's changin tha whole game but the style of this album is showin growth in hip hop.....

with that said im givin it either a 4/5 or 5/5, dis sh*t is fire cuz it feels almost like a movie...........Kanye just saved tha summer of '05 during tha hip hop depression

Nah daz sum real a*s sh*t

thehogue said kanye did step up his lyrics... dis album is more mellow than college dropout but still hott...

Yeah this album has a mellow laid back feel. Production overall is pretty soft. No hard core rap beats but it's Kanye so I didn't expect him to change it up. Alot of real talk on the album. Have to listen agian before I can give it a grade. I just gave it one spin. A couple of beats sound recycled like he used them before but I'm not surprised. He did so much production for everybody else that he's probably running thin on ideas plus he's probably focsuing more or rap as an artist instead of producer.

Also Hank Crawford - Wildflower, is where the sample from Drive Slow, 2pac's Shorty Wanna be a Thug n Eminem's No One is Iller than Me comes from.

i'm buyin this wen it drops, the album is hott...

so far it's not bad.. 3.5/5 mics for now.. gonna take a few listens to give a final verdict

i definitely will cop... good to see ppl sayin that it feels like a movie more than a rap cd... thats wut i feel.. one of the most connected and cohesive rap albums ive ever heard...

36chambers said ill give it a 4 fu*k u kanye no game verse :finger:

After 2 listens...I have asked the same question??? Good point, pimpin' ! :banghead:
