Rapper/producer Kanye West's second album, LATE REGISTRATION, incredibly lives up to expectations following his universally acclaimed debut, THE COLLEGE DROPOUT, which took the art of sampling to a new plateau. Here, for example, "Gold Digger" features a sample of the legendary Ray Charles alongside actor Jamie Foxx in Oscar-reprising character as Charles. "Addiction" pairs a frenetic African beat with a stuttering, singular use of a snippet of Etta James crooning "My Funny Valentine," while "Diamonds From the Sierra Leone" teams the majestic Bond glory of Shirley Bassey's "Diamonds Are Forever" with perfectly subtle Miami bass to explosive effect. All the while, West pulls lyrics out of his rhyme bag at a fever pitch, tackling hefty topics like civil war in Africa and the impact of drugs on leading Black minds. Throughout the album, West merely continues to perfect his craft, slowing tracks down and speeding them up into an awe-inspiring mosaic. While his MC style is often discounted as being of secondary importance, he shines when put up against the best in the game, as with Common on the bluesy "My Way Home" or Nas on the lush "We Major." And in the spirit of Bob Dylan, West knows how to make the most of a very original voice. LATE REGISTRATION is ample proof of West's staying power. Review: Late registration vinyl - Extremely good quality, plus little to no warp on the record itself.

I love the color. But…it’s leaks around the bottom. But I’m still using it.

Fire!
came in perfect condition, with 2 records. got it for my boyfriend for christmas, he's gonna love itt! could've been packaged a bit better. it was only in cardboard with a bit of paper in the box. bubble wrap around the vinyl could be more effective... there weren't any defects, so that's not much of an issue!

Partendo dall’ordine di Amazon tutto perfetto, arrivato nella data prestabilita, nessun graffio ne danneggiamento alla custodia. Introspettivo, cubo e sofisticato. Un album d’alto livello. Acclamato dalla critica, riflessivo e sempre provocatorio. La natura di Kanye West non si smentisce. Beat più sperimentali del primo, si nota lo shift sempre più Marcato verso il lavoro successivo a The late registration e cioè the graduation. Sempre presente la mascotte dell orso che rappresenta Kanye West nel percorso di scoperta scolastico, per fare una metafora con la sua ricerca di un percorso musicale sempre più proprio. Accattivante e moderno, di classe. Non può mancare nella propria collezione di album che lasceranno un segno dell’artista. Uno dei suo lavoro più personale. 5/5 Tra i brani consigliato -addiction - my way home - heard’em say - e l’irriverente canzone basata su una storia vera diamons from Sierra Leone.

Bought this item in 2019. Cost me 21 AUD. I think the product was excellent for what was the normal retail price at that time. Unfortunately the AUD has crashed.
