Heeeee's Baaaack. Kanye returns with his fifth studio album, and all the controversy and gossip that goes along with a Kanye West release. When all the smoke clears, Kanye has a genius about him that cannot be disputed or immitated. This album is just relentless. With production efforts put forth by Mr. West himself, as well as Jay-Z and RZA (Wu-Tang Clan), the record is opulant from beginning to end. The guest appearances by the aforementioned producers and other huge acts like Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, and Pusha-T (Clipse), among others, only add to the spectacle. Certainly as this artist has progressed, he's grown more egotistical and this is a prominent theme on his latest work. Without the ego, however, there really would be something missing. His ego is what makes it so fresh and so sharp. The grand scale on which he views himself enhances the ornate quality of his work. For as highly as he thinks of himself, he pushes himself that much further to constantly outdo himself. He raises the bar with each album, both for himself and those who make guest appearances on it. Like it or not, he is a force in American music that must be reckoned with.
