Advantages: Exellent selection of songs, good beats, individual style. Disadvantages: Some explicit lyrics making it unsuitable for a younger audience, the skits can be annoying.
Kanye West's debut solo album, released under Roc-a-Fella Records, provides us with a selection of individual, unique songs unlike no other hip hop artist. With the use of humour, excellent beats, computer enhanced vocals adding an extra special touch to his songs, Kanye West's album portrays everything needed in the struggling world of hip hop. There are no violent songs talking about abusing women, drugs (apart from references to cannabis), killings, ... ...and light hearted works of excellence...parents cannot look down on his material unlike other artist's work such as Fat Joe, Eminem's earlier material and Ja Rule. Kanye West is an admirable star and a true performer and entertainer. He manages to capture the listener with every song on this outstanding album. He respects people and life and this is clearly depicted in the album. Kanye West is a very clever artist and clearly has worked out the calculation ...

Advantages: Fresh voice on the hip hop scene just what it needed Disadvantages: Too many skits and too many tracks put in simply to make up the numbers
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 ... ...9/10*

Advantages: This is the way to release a record explode! Disadvantages: none that I can find!
Kanye really makes an entrance and blasts his way into the music scene...
...this is definately an album you can listen to all the way through, each track is brilliant & creative, Kayne's laid back style combined with the likes of say JayZ is mind blowing and a real treat for the ears!
....there is nothing bad that I can say about this album, it is so refreshing to hear some really good hip hop, this is definately an album for the collection...I ... ...the Fugees & The Score, Warren G & Regulate etc etc....
...I can honestly say that in 10 years time when you put this album on it will still sound as fresh and new as it does today!
...there are a couple of little "interludes" on this album, comme The Fugees Score, but nothing too much, just enough to give you a little chuckle, but not enough for you to have to keep getting up to forward it on to the next song and interfere with your listening!
