Kanye West — Late Orchestration


In spring 2006, Kanye West's trademark Dropout Bear walks the zebra crossing in front of Abbey Road Studios paying homage to the Beatles album, because it's precisely here that many months before the producer recorded a live album that collects the creme of his first two LPs in a dozen tracks and about three quarters of an hour of material, to which a bonus track is added. To support Mr. West in this live there's an all-female orchestra, along with Lupe Fiasco, GLC, John Legend and Consequence. The boy is not a good rapper and the orchestra does not work the miracles that the studio does, in any case, it's an enjoyable listen for the fans, easily skippable for anyone else. 6.5/10.
