Kanye makes a great dbut considering he had been passed up by so many other labels e.g. capital, before being snapped up by Jay-z and roc-a-fella. It is apparent that Kanye is a producer rapper with an eye for a beat, not necessarily a bad thing! Kanye's songs in this album bring a fresh air to the hip hop scene.

I decided to review this album after reviewing his second album because i simply forget it was on the site. Track by track analysis: (i won't review the skits)

2. We Don't Care - 9/10*

3. Graduation Day - kinda like a skit 4/10

4. All Falls Down - featuring Syleena Johnson - 10/10!!!!*

5. I'll Fly Away - 8/10*

6. Spaceship - Featuring GLC & Consequence - 7/10

7. Jesus Walks - 8/10*

8. Never Let Me Down - featuring Jay-Z & J. Ivy - 9/10*

9. Get Em High - featuring Talib Kweli & Common - 7/10

11. The New Workout Plan- 7/10*

12. Slow Jamz - Featuring Twista, Kanye West & Jamie Foxx- 9/10*

13. Breathe In Breathe Out - Featuring Ludacris - 5/10

15. School Spirit - 8/10*

18. Two Words - featuring Mos Def, Freeway and The Harlem Boys Choir - 6/10

19. Through The Wire - 9/10*

20. Family Business - 9/10*

21. Last Call - 20 minute long song tells his hip hop story not worth downloading but good track if you buy the album

Kanye West does himself justice with this fabulous debut album I am really pleased with it and I hope that all goes well for him in the future. It is really good that he is succeding so well!! A must buy.
