Finally a Producer rapper that doesn't have to sing about cars, money and girls to get to number 1. Kanye west is the freshes rapper on the market, his music is thought provoking, honest and form his heart. He knows what is wrong with the music industry and doesn't just go with the flow, he makes the industry his own.
Some great fast tunes aswell!!!
One thing I did'nt like was all the extra rappers on the songs, there are some great feature rappers, but then some that you understand why they aren't signed.
Best songs:
We don't care - Inspirational Jesus walks - Comforting Through the wire - Honest Family business - Beautiful
Kanye west had been trying for years to get signed, he had worked with some very famous names but always seemed to get pushed to the side, he even played jesus walked to a producer and they didn't sign him. Jesus walks was one of the most played records on the radio last year.
I hate rap albums nowdays, its all about sex and money, but kanye west has turned it around and made it about life and living and how you must create and follow your own dreams.
The last song is him telling his story, it's amazing.
Buy it and listen to each word, you wont be dissapointed

Good review - apart from the comments from Misssixty, try adding the price and where to buy. Compare to other artists (by name). I bought this and was quite disappointed :O( xxx
