CMacSep 8, 2005A "1" for effort. Kayne is OVER-HYPED... and overrated. This album has some cool music, but his rapping is annoying... like Method Man with a bunch of orange peels in his mouth.

GnarlesAug 30, 2005It may actually be impossible for an artist to be as overrated as Kayne West. Even the Strokes would stand in awe of him.

rickfSep 2, 2005kanye west known how to make beats, kind of, but cannot rap to save his life. Anybody who thinks he can is only comparing him to fitty cent and the other garbage on the radio. This is not hip-hop.

FinfroskSep 24, 2005Kanye West is the most overrated artist in the world, this album is sh** and so was the college dropout.. Kanye can't rap, and his beats are about as boring as they come! The only highlight on this album is Gone. Ain't that ironic, cuz when Kanye is gone from music, I will be glad!

pica19Sep 4, 2005He deserves a zero, but I'm too kind for that. What an over-hyped piece of crap. The marketing God's will continue to hype this guy all the way to the bank. Congrats, Kanye, the industry has given you a silver spoon without just deserve. You shouldn't have 'registered' this disc, but I'm sure you'll be smiling all the way to bank in your Bentley.

ConiseuerSep 3, 2005In a word...boring. In two words...highly overated. In three words...don't bother buying.

BenV.Sep 4, 2005An undeniable failure of an album. The only redeeming factor I can find is that Kanye's arrogance hasn't matched other so-called rappers of this decade, but it's getting close.

JosephSNov 26, 2005People say this is better than the first album because they're out of touch and they need to pretend to like at least one rap artist to compensate.

SloopyDrewSep 13, 2005Bloated and overly confident, this album, as a whole, is a disaster. Kayne is a horrible MC and the music sounds more pop than it does hip-hop. There are a few good songs, but this is no College Dropout. Hugely disappointing. Easily the most overrated album of 2005.

Apr 25, 2012West attempted to polish his style in the follow-up to College Dropout and lost all of the charm that made his debut interesting in the first place. Outside of the introduction of Lupe Fiasco on "Touch the Sky", there isn't much on this album worth listening to.

Jan 23, 2020Warning: Kanye fans must stop giving low ratings to Music To Be Murdered By just to stop it surpassing My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Jan 23, 2020Parece ser que ahora se vota con poca puntuacion los albumes que creemos que nos lo merercen.
Gracias fans de Kanye -
Oct 19, 2019Independent Artist/Producer from Prince George's County Maryland. This Album is a classic.

Jan 23, 2020Insant flop. This is the worst album of all time. Nothing can be worst than this. This is the **** piece of music
-
Jan 22, 2020Average MC. Average production. Really an average album plain and simple...
-
Aug 30, 2021It's such a boring album! That's all, just boring, nothing special. Sorry...
-
Sep 13, 2020This album is carried by a lot of collaborations, borrowing from the greats (see Ray Charles) but in the end still fails to deliver.
-
Oct 2, 2020Unoriginal work, it feels like Kanye was trying to hard but the results did not pay out.
-
Oct 23, 2020The album brings nothing special, just another attempt to say something original without the power to follow through with it.

Feb 17, 2011Late Registration's salvation (and, undoubtedly, Kanye's own) are when it basks in the sunshine after the rain.
-
Jan 3, 2011Each of these songs offers more exquisite details than I could earmark in twice this space, many of them literary, which the English prof's dropout son rightly claims as his calling. But secret brilliance is more likely to emerge from the sops to his hip-hop base.
-
Late Registration can't replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album.
