So I was wrong. I had heard of Kanye West before. Or rather, I recognise at least three or four tracks from his debut album.
I'm not one for 'skit-tracks' that litter these sorts of records, but when they provide filler between songs as good as We Don't Care and All Falls Down I'm prepared to forgive.
Kanye talks perhaps one or two times too many about his near-fatal car accident, but apart from that I'm all over this. It's full of hooks, and crammed with life. Very worthwhile.
