lyrically the album is hotter than College Dropout, but the productions a lil worse. a deifinte classic with Commons and Games LPs.

same here

thats good he recieved that from those magazines...........now all the hatas can shut the fu*k up about it not being a good album.........in my opinion aquemini the outkast album wasnt a classic but the source declared it to be it shows be see different though

At first listen I thought College Dropout was much better. But listening to Late Registration more and more its making a strong running for his best work.

I dont think there is one person in the industry that you all would support as a whole if they recieved these ratings. If it was nas, jay, dipset, whomever.... half of you on here would have some dumb sh*t to say about why its not a classic. I bet some of your grandfathers were the ones mad when the first black man made it into major league baseball. Saying sh*t like " he holds the bat like a bi*ch ". Just be happy he made it. Just be glad mags like rolling stone are starting to step up and take hip hop more seriously.

^^^^couldn't have said it better myself

what date is the instore for paramus, nj

*co-signs.* :applause:

i guess people thinkin this is a "classic" album cause of all the crap thats been released in the last year or two.

that cd wasnt good at all.

note special really he should stick to the beat game

the term "classic" has been thrown around too much

Illmatic is a classic
Ready To Die is a classic
Me Against The World is a classic
Cuban Linx is a classic
and The Listening (little brothers album) is a classic (IMO, best album is the last 3 years)
Ressurection is classic
It was Written is classic...
Last of a Dying Breed is classic
Aquemini is classic
The Chronic is classic
Doggystyle is classic
Paid In Full is classic
Radio is classic

Kanye's album is not classic, his first was was close, but no cigar. To say that his album is classic is to put it with the albums above... and it doesnt fit

^^^means nothin, reviews ain't done by tha whole magazine staff...its 1 person....CD is crap...honestly i think all this is bein done so dey ain't gotta deal wit kanye's poutin & whinin....crap CD

Roses, Drive Slow, Hey Mama, Diamonds...if dat was da whole CD it prolly b more closa classic

god dammit i wish classic status wasn't givin out so easily

its a good album, i really wanna hate on it cause of how soft it is, but kanye isn't gangsta nor does he claim to be... but theres alot of songs i skip, its a strong 4 mic album, i wish 5mics/XXL's weren't given out so easily... no way common's album deserved it either

i wish classic status wasn't so eaily given, its insult to the illmatics, the ready to dies the criminal minded's the chronics... theres no way in hell i can put late registration in that group....

BUT as far as is this a marketable album, which is what they base there ratings on... this album will be the highest selling album i give it that... kanye gonna outsell 50 cent within 6 weeks

please, this a very good album but don't call it a classic its an insult to the real classics

greggmb18 said: This is such bullsh*t. XXL said that they were gonna give Late Registration a XXL before they even got the CD to review it. In an interview with Little brother thay said that XXL called them up and said sorry but we think your album deserves a XXL but we dont want to give two XXL ratings back to back issues. and then Little brother asked who was the other XXL and they said "we expect kanye to drop a classic". So basically they gave him the XXL before they got the CD to review which is bullsh*t because this is not a classic. They are d!ckriding Kanye and G.O.O.D music more than Shady/Aftermath because thats 2 XL CD's that have received classic ratings.

A lot of truth in this. The album is not classic. A very good album yes. Classic hell naw. XXL ratings don't mean sh*t to me. They gave Yayo a XL too. XXL has been fu*king up big time lately :thumbsdow

i enjoyed this album i am STILL enjoying this album so i got no complaints he deserves all of the props in the world for this

cd is hot....Magazines proablly felt pressured by kanye to give him a good rating.

not a classic but a good azz cd 4 mics

Whattt kanye got five stars in the rolling stones gotta give a hand clap for this guy.so forget it kanye album is classic and it out beats his first hate it or love it. And i dont get how the hell the skits on this album hurt its, they was funny as hell.

Funny? maybe the first time you listen to the album. But after you've heard the skit more then twice it's annoying as hell. And the idea of a classic is a album that you can keep listening from begining to end without skipping. So those skits become automatic skips. And who gives a sh*t what rolling stones rates? Since when have they even been anything but laughable when considering hip hop music?

yeah thats like maxim, anyone see that, they gave tony yayo's album 5 stars... i was like did they ask the cute white model girl for her opinion or somethin?
