Graduation»rank: 4398par: Kanye West
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Kanye West's third in a whimsical trilogy of 'scholarly' albums, Graduation wears its predecessors' badges of success on its sleeve. Matriculation has its rewards, apparently, and it's time to take stock. Lyrically, there's plenty of self-congratulation to attend to, but the real fun comes in the collabs, and West chooses co-conspirators like a kid in a candy store--John Legend ('Good Life'), Coldplay's Chris Martin ('Homecoming'), Mos Def and the Section Quartet (both adorable choices ... |

Yell Fire!»rank: 1499par: Michael Franti
Chroniques et points de vue: :0ne thing you know you'll get from Franti and Spearhead is a certain kind of crystal clarity--on the production, musicianship, and, of course, in the righteous political message. Released two years after Franti traveled by himself to war-ravaged Baghdad, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, each of these songs deals with the human cost of war poignantly and pointedly. The lyrics may seem simplistic when removed from the songs--'Those who start wars never fight them/And ... |

College Dropout»rank: 5237par: Kanye West
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This debut from the most sought-after hip-hop producer not named Pharrell delivers the unthinkable: West magically sledgehammers home his opinions on taboo topics over beats that are equally daring. The envelope-ripping beats shouldn't come as a surprise given that he's supplied the soundscapes to monster singles by everyone from Alicia Keys ('You Don't Know My Name') to Talib Kweli ('Get By'). What is freakish is that in West's world, rhymes about strippers, God, college ... |

Whitey Ford Sings the Blues»rank: 11247par: Everlast
Chroniques et points de vue:From :When you think about it, House of Pain really were ahead of their time. Tracks like 'Jump Around' may have been light on the content side, but they delivered in the production department--they played with sounds in the same way that Missy Elliott and Timbaland have popularized, and they crossed over to a rock audience long before Puffy ever tried it. 0n Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, Everlast's second solo album, the opening is ... |

Lupe Fiasco's the Cool»rank: 8125par: Lupe Fiasco
Chroniques et points de vue: :The name of Lupe Fiasco's sophomore set sounds like a Kanye-ism, and that's fitting: The Cool spills over with Mr. West-style urgency, and it's just about as smart as anything Fiasco's more flamboyant mentor has issued. lt could even land Lupe a little too close to the top of the hip-hop heap for Kanye's comfort. The Cool is cool not only for its sober, clear-headed vibe -- Fiasco ponders everything from the apocalypse to poverty ... |
