Advantages: Kayne's lyrics and flow!

Disadvantages: A bit pop at times!

This is a critically acclaimed album, which won various awards that include three Grammys , which was Kayne's third album and in my opinion his best yet. Released when he was at the height of his hype, Kayne really delivered on this album to ensure his acceptance into Hip Hops hall of fame. In spite of being constantly put down by a lot of Hip Hop fans as being soft, Kayne has managed to become one of the biggest selling Hip Hop artists of all time and has been able to break boundaries and genres in music.

On this particular album my favourite songs are;

"Heard 'em say" - A real thoughtful and mellow sound to this song and features Adam Levine of Maroon 5.who sings the memorable chorus. This song did well in the charts and really shows Kayne's emotional side.

"Touch the Sky" - A great song with a great video which features Pamela Anderson. As well as some great lyrics from Kayne this was also the introduction to the pop world of the fantastic Lupe Fiasco.

"Diamonds" - One of Kayne's most political song, this was the first single from this album and gave the Hip Hop world a lot to think about.

The album also has other great tracks such as "Gold Digger", "Drive Slow" and "We Major" all of further showcase Kayne's ability to write great lyrics which flow well to the beats. Kayne definitely put a great deal of effort in this album and it really shines through on all the tracks. There is not a "wack" track on this album!

I doubt we have seen the last of Kayne's great talent and I am sure he will release a lot more great albums!

Summary: Roc - a - fella's last king!
