Since Kanye West has made it more than obvious that he does not like white people, I suggest white people do not buy his c.d's.

bought this for my daughter.. she loved it
and had no problems with it!Great price too!

2 1/2

The relatively fresh producer debuted with a strongly sampled single in Wire, but is very inconsistent and overly assured in his weakly-rhymed album, balancing out a majority of club blabberings with a few real standouts... becoming singles, of course.

*WOW* I just got this the other day. There are enough in-depth reviews here. Just get it, it's unique, positive, fresh...still. Nothing less than a XXL.

I don't know how I feel about him sampling one of the greatest songs ever written (lyrically speaking). All Falls Down is a lyric from Mystery of Iniquity by Lauryn Hill which is one of the most convicting/life giving songs I have ever heard. that woman loves the LORD like CRAZINESS and her Unplugged record reflects it. Get it. Soak in what she is saying. You won't regret it. That album has brought me to tears time after time.

This is a perfect debut, and made a huge impact in the industry - but Late Registration had it beat. Kanye may not have a clue what the word "modesty" means, but it doesn't matter at all. Grammy's Hip Hop sweetheard deserves every award that he gets, and has a right to bitch about every award that he doesn't. ::Shrugs::

Probably about the one half decent rap/r nb act around now. More for his political and social stance than his music.

An absolute party from front to back. Uptempo beats and star guest appearances from Jay Hovy, Com, Kweli, Luda and more.

This is a hip hop classic and my favorite songs on it are jesus walks and through the wire .

this album is one of the bes rap albums of 2004. and the song never let me down is the best song on here it will put your heart on another level if u listen to it.

Nearly all productions are great. Jesus Walks, Get Em' High, New Workout Plan, Slow Jamz, School Spirits and Through The Wire, all brilliant tracks! Kanye is a genius like Jigga says.

TAlk about talent... Kanye is a genius!
