But the first Kanye West album I heard all the through and really was able to appreciate was Late Registration and I truly believe it's one of West's best albums to date. I knew a little of the guy as a producer and I had heard the record "All Falls Down" and "Slow Jamz" from West's first album The College Dropout. Late Registration is the album that truly introduced me to the brilliance that is Kanye West as a solo artist. It was a difficult task but one that I couldn't resist doing. How do you rank such uniquely wonderful tracks? So when it came time to rank the songs of Late Registration, things became extremely difficult. From some truly sweet, vulnerable records about his family to the social issue songs for which West is known to the giant monster chartbusters and beyond, Late Registration really featured the full gambit of types of rap music that Kanye has been so good at for years. The album is still a brilliant listen and ages quite nicely as well. And despite it being released in 2005, damn. Kanye West's sophomore album Late Registrations turn 10 this year and to celebrate, I had another long listen to the album from start to finish. He's a strange guy, but his music is pure gold.
