Kanye West - Late Registration (Parental Advisory) [PA] (CD 2005)

good cd. it was lovely.the sun is shinning the birds are singing and my husband smells.every one tells me im mad, im not really im just a bit confused. better go now i can smell burning i think my husband cooking his socks again. bye bye.

More quality from kanYe, what do you expect nowadays! Definately worth a purchase, top class album once again!

Really great album from kanye, you can go wrong with his music, a whole album of great songs well worth the money i paid for it...*****

I absolutely love evry track on this album. There is a good mix of fast and soft songs, and the lyrics are great too. His best album in my opinion.

Definatley as far as west goes he is also very funny with little quips added between tracks. outstanding artist and i have all his music till present weird for a 36yo guy lol if you dont like this rap you wont like any end off.

Never got around to buying this when it first came out. I'd bought his debut album and loved it so didn't expect this one to be quite as good. I saw this at such a good price and I'm so glad I did. The songs still sound fresh and original so glad I bought it.

f you like your hip-hop with some genuine soul then this is the record for you. Kanye West has been making headlines for his fierce criticism of the Bush administration in the wake of Hurricane Katrina but it's truly this collection of songs that will sweep you of your feet and whirl around your brain.

Diamonds From Sierra Leone is a pacey, classy intro with a lyrical makeover of the single version, this one showing a social conscience and deliberate deconstruction of rapper culture. He calls into question the origins of his bling, the blood on his hands and the remorse he feels. If this all sounds very un-rap then in terms of content, it most definitely is. And this is what makes this release so refreshing.

Golddigger is the next highlight, featuring Jamie Foxx doing a cracking Ray Charles impression with a balls-out vocal cameo that adds a powerful depth to the song. West's rhymes are subtle but piercing ("I ain't saying she's a golddigger/But she ain't messing with no broke niggers") and the lack of full-on hip-hop grandiosty is welcome. West doesn't need to hype and holler and bloody the noses of his contemparies. He talks, we listen. He samples and loops and creates a slick musical landscape to his words with a skill that astounds.

The difference between him and his peers is never so clear as on Crack Music. West calls into question the sleaze and slime that has enveloped hip-hop, decrying the idiots that glamourise drugs and guns. He is making a stand here and showing the rest of them that it's possible to make a classic hip-hop album without referencing crack, smack, guns and bitches every second word.

With integrity, talent and musical nous, I have no doubt Kanye West will change hip-hop for the better. Register here for some epic rap with large spoonfuls of soul. West is making a new Motown and it sounds amazing.

Although I absolutely loved Kanye's singles, when I went through this cd I was rather disappointed with it. I've ended up moving on to the songs I like and recognise and binning the rest. Why do these rappers insist on putting the spoken word in the middle of a music cd??!!

Great album. jus as good as Kanye's 1st 1. bouncy beats wit gr8 lyrics and any fan of Tupac is friend of mine.

5/5. since Pac past away, non of u other rappers deserve atrack 2day. xcept Mr West.

No dislikes, everything as outlined in auction, delivered quickly thought overall transaction and everything involved was absolutely spot on

A fantastic album with a mixture of rap, hip hop and even borderline pop, with collabarations with numerous artists which add a bit of spice to an already class album. Even the tracks that are not singles are good enough to be top ten hits, like track 16.

Seller cashed my check and not until more than 3 weeks later and after i had sent about 5 threatening emails asking for my CD did she post it. In the mean time i got no response to any of my emails.
When CD finally arrived it was a crap copy, not 'new and sealed' as she promised in the item description.
I have later been in contact with other people who's cheques she has cashed and they either received nothing or a copy, apparently there is about 250 of us.

Please make sure that this seller does not get back on ebay in any other trading form!!!!!

Kanye switches up his style to create something very different to College Dropout, but equally impressive. Including a variety of appearances from the likes of Adam Levine (Maroon 5), old friend Jay-Z, Bernie Mac, the Game, and Nas.
The album features all the recent singles, as well as some great tracks such as "Hey Mama" and a must-hear remix of Diamonds from Sierra Leone, featuring Jay-z.

Great album, highly recommended!
