Kanye’s latest CD dropped August 30th, but right now he’s in the news for more than his music. He’s known for saying that our President George Bush doesn’t like black people. No, I don’t believe that it was a stunt to push more units for his CD. "Late Registration " is something different then his last CD…to me he’s more in touch with his feelings. He did a song about his grandma being in the hospital on the song “Roses” and he raps/sings the song to his mother in “Hey Mama”. Though what shocked me the most was hearing one of my favorite rappers Nas on his CD, being the whole drama between Nas and Jay Z. What made him so popular with his last CD was “Jesus Walks”…that was the first song about God that I ever heard in the clubs. That song was VERY moving…deep lyrics and all. I would say that’s what he’s missing on this album, but it doesn’t mean his lyrics are weak. I noticed if you compare something to the first one and the second one is on a completely different level, then you will most likely say that the second one doesn’t add up to the first one. So I look at everything with a clean slate, comparing it to nothing, just reviewing it for what it is. Your first listen to the CD will be searching the songs out by beats and when you sit down through it you will find some interesting songs. It’s a good listen, you won’t regret listening to this CD. The skits will have your rolling on the ground with Broke Fi Broke and can’t forget about the hit singles…”Diamonds”, “Gold Digger” & “Diamonds” (remix). You can go ahead and be late to your registration and listen to this CD.

TRACK HIGHLIGHTS : "Touch the Sky", "We Major", "Bring Me Down", "Late", "Crack Music", "Heard Em Say"
