Description

Special edition double vinyl LP. The week this debut album came out, Kanye's name was all over the Top 20s for his hit singles "Through the Wire," "Jesus Walks," "All Falls Down" and "Slow Jamz." What's even more remarkable is that this breakthrough came during his recovery from a car wreck that nearly took his life-the song "Through the Wire" is about the accident, and was recorded two weeks after he was in the hospital, with his jaw still wired shut. He's hailed the event as both the worst thing that could've happened to him, and the best. The record sold 441,000 copies in it's very first week and has been named both by "Time" and "Rolling Stone" as one of the greatest albums of all time. Guest appearances here include Jay-Z, John Legend, Ervin "EP" Pope, Miri Ben-Ari, Syleena Johnson and Jamie Foxx.

Kanye West delivers a solid album
By producing hit songs for artists such as Twista, Alicia Keys, and most notably Jay-Z, Kanye West has established quite a buzz around himself. He has even enticed the people who jock G-Unit's boring music to listen to this positive album. Intro - The album starts off with a funny intro from Kanye's friend Deray who sounds very similiar to Bernie Mac. We Don't Care - The beat and the chorus are addictive. Kanye's subject matter on this track is uplifting for black people. This is the kind of stuff kids should listen to instead of G-Unit. Graduation Day - Another funny skit All Falls Down - A great track featuring Syleena Johnson on the chorus. On this track Kanye talks about people who are self-conscious. I can feel Kanye on this song where he talks about how we blacks buy lots of clothes at high prices that we don't really need and that's one of the reasons why we end up broke so often. I'll Fly Away - Pointless Spaceship - Addictive track featuring GLC and Consequence. This is one of the songs on the album I can see myself still listening to 6 months from now. Jesus Walks - This track has some of Kanye's best subject matter on the whole album. Very few mcs are willing to rap about Jesus on a song and plus Kanye plans to make this track his 3rd single and video. Never Let Me Down - This is my 2nd favorite song on the entire album. The production is great. Jay-Z starts the track off with a fiery verse and then Kanye gets more introspective on his. This is quite possibly the best verse Kanye has ever wrote. J. Ivy delivers spoken word and then Jay-Z adds a freestyle to the end of the song as a bonus for those who bought the REAL album and not the internet nerds who downloaded it. Get 'Em High - This track features one of my favorite mcs Common. Kanye carries on a conversation with a girl through his verse and Kweli spits over the phone. Common's verse is the real gem here though. Newjacks should pay close attention to this verse. Workout Plan - weak skit New Workout Plan - This song was okay when I first heard it but now the beat annoys me a lot. Kanye has a good theme about goldiggers on this song but I find myself skipping this song lately. Slow Jams - A great single. You've all heard it by now. Breathe in Breathe Out - This is the other weak song on the album. It would have been much better if Ludacris would have had a verse. School Spirit (skit) - zzzz School Spirit - This song is okay but nothing special Lil' Jimmy Skit - Kanye seems to have a lot of hatred for college. You'll see while listening to this skit. Two Words - Another of my favorite songs on the disc. Even though I heard this song over a year ago, it's still fresh to me and Mos Def's verse is pure fire. While Kanye's is decent and Freeway's is too short. Miri Ben Ari does a good job on the violins at the end of this track too. Through the Wire - We've all heard it now, good track. Family Business - Kanye talks about his family life. I'm feeling this one. Last Call - This song has the best beat on the entire cd. Kanye spits 2 short verses and then proceeds to explain how he got his deal on Rocafella. Overall this is a pretty good album. From some of the reviews I've read around here though it seems that you people throw around the word "classic" way too much. The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of Kanye's flow. Kanye's lyrics are pretty clever and he has great subject matter but the problem is the way he delivers it. Sometimes his rhymes come out corny and blunt. The other thing is that this album doesn't seem to have the longevity of a classic LP. I listened to it for about 3 weeks straight after I bought it but now I find myself hardly putting it in my stereo. It's a breath of fresh air to hip-hop as whole (only nerds constantly compare mainstream/underground). But it is by no means a classic. ... show more
