Once again, the Louis Vuitton Don hits us with another instant classic. Kanye's new album "Late Registration" dropped Tuesday, August 30, 2005.
The hidden track Late, has a s mellow beat and sampled voice. Kanye got personal on this album by dedicating a song to his mother. On the track Hey Mama, Kanye mentions how his mother struggled working late nights to keep the lights on. Hey mama let me know how much I take advantage of my own mother.
Then Kanye shocked the world by crossing enemy lines, by producing a collaboration between himself and Nas in the song titled We Major. For the few of us who don't know, Nas and Jay-z have been feuding for the past eight years. The track features a jazzy beat, and seven minutes of pure lyricism.
One of the top tracks on the album is Drive Slow. The song features Swisher House's own, Paul Wall, and of course, he does not disappoint. Drive Slow is telling the fellas to watch out for who they are messing with. As a tribute to screw music, the end of the track is slowed down. This album is full of heavy hitters including, Common, Game, Brandy, and Jay-Z just to mention a few.
