What the former Fiona Apple maestro brings to the proceedings, aside from a conductor's wand and a smile, is the ability to inflate and infuse West's ideas with even more life.
KANYE WEST LATE REGISTRATION ALBUM DOWNLOAD ZIP FULL
Without Brion, this album probably sounds a lot like its predecessor, The College Dropout- full of tough horns, jacked soul, and flashes of brilliance. With the help of co-producer Jon Brion, West has taken his jumbled personae, buoyant enthusiasm, and vision for the grandiose, and transformed his chattering, seemingly unrealistic ideas into an expansive, imperfect masterpiece.
The sprawling Late Registration is the year's most accomplished rap album, and in turn, he's done something that his heroes- the Pharcyde and Nas, and father figure Jay-Z- couldn't do: deliver on a promise the second time around. That said, at the end of the day, it's his ear, a golden instrument, and his adventurous collaborative spirit that have made him the most fully formed artist of his genre. That's the reason he landed on "Oprah" and the cover of Time Magazine last week, rather than 50 Cent or Nelly or Slug. His self-importance is obvious, but the arrogance that comes pre-packaged with his insecurity is what makes West the most interesting hip-hop figure of the past five years. Those who claim Kanye West's antics hinder his work are missing the point. Contrary to popular opinion, hubris does have a righteous appeal.
