Kanye West Late Registration T-Shirt

buy this t-shirt


Kayne West's new album may be entitled Late Registration, but his style of hip hop arrived on the scene just in the nick of time.

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from FTK (Fits Tunes Kicks), letting me know about a special pre-order combo pack for the new Kanye West album, Late Registration. I bought some shirts and CDs from them last year and they were nice enough to remember my preferences.

So I was able to get the CD and a cool Kanye West t-shirt (the shirt style I got is now sold out) for about $35 bucks. They shipped the pre-order out last Friday and I got the CD a day before it was scheduled to be released. I was going to just get it off iTunes, but hey, if I can get a cool t-shirt in the process, how's a t-shirt junkie (and a music junkie) supposed to turn that down.

If I'm being perfectly honest, I liked the shirt Kanye released with his last album much better. The graphic was more to the point, I dug the big bold "The College Dropout" text on the front. That shirt always got looks or comments when I wore it. Either from Kanye West fans or from fellow college dropouts ;)

The shirt I got this week has a more stylized bear figure (which seems to be Kanye's animal counterpart) with the words "late registration" under it:

These shirts also have custom neck labels from G.O.O.D. (Getting Out Our Dreams) Music, Kanye's new record label:

If you are a fan of hip hop music, you should definitely pick up this CD. It's got the soulful beats that West is famous for. Couple that his trademark confident and complex lyrics and you've got a perfect followup to his Grammy winning debut album.

This album has a wide variety of rap styles from freestyle, bragging, love ballads, and of coure the great collaboration track, GONE (my personal favorite). Gone is a classic hip hop track that reminds me of one of the original rap collaboration tracks, "The Symphony" by Marley Marl (featuring Big Daddy Kane). Melodic pianos play in the background as the lyricists freestyle over the beat.

But back to the t-shirts :) FTK carries official merchandise from other artists as well as major sportswear brands like Adidas and urban clothing lines including Triple 5 Soul and obey
