Im stunned

Review Score: (4/10)
Next time Johnny Boy,
Maybe missed somthing but this guy is no Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke, or whomever you want him to be except another hook singer signed to a album deal. Kanye West is gonna drain his talent like he drains 1980's soul samples, plus from the flow of the album you can tell that legend didn't have any creative control over the project it sounded like two completely different albums 1-7 then 8-14 (the latter would get 4 stars by its self). With the exception of "Ordinary People" and "So High" you can hang it up. Bland over discussed song topic, bluejeans and an sportscoat shouldn't get you compared to the neo-soul artist who where doing it before it became trendy. Besides I'm sick of wishing someone was like Marvin Gaye or Harlod Melvin, Isaac Hayes etc... They were great but this retro phase has taken its toll lets start loving the artist who come out today for what they contribute not who they remind you of. And maybe we will hear some music thats worth a second listen.
