This is the first studio album from Kanye West since bad diagnosis in 2007. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Kanye West. Since completing 2007’s ‘Through The Wire’, Kanye West fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This album is awesome.
Wake Up Mr. West is probably one of Kanye West’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Slow Jamz (ft. Twista & Jamie Foxx) - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Nice and different song. The New Workout Plan have really caught my ear and imagination. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Stronger, which shows, blatantly, how much Kanye West has evolved as a singer. What sets Touch The Sky apart is Kanye West’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Number One (feat Pharrell williams) pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. A fantastic track full of wonder. Never Let Me Down (ft. Jay-Z & J-Ivy) is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Jesus Walks - My least favorite song on this album. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Get ‘em High (ft. Talib Kweli & Common) had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Lyrics of Diamonds From Sierra Leone are precise and evocative.
