Review of “Roses” by Kanye West

schoolchild Project Presentation In 2005 Kanye West released Roses on his second studio album titled latish Registration. Though the composition is classified as whack, it delves into many other genres and niches as it encompasses a wide-ranging mixing of blues, rock, R&B, and many others. The extensive collaboration between West and film score producer Jon Brion during the devising of the album resulted in a very unique orchestral-like sound thanks to the hiring of a full wander section during production.The entirety of the album could be considered a breakthrough as it redefined the genre and what typical hip-hop was expected to sound like by juxtaposing heavy hip-hop beats with orchestral strings. It is this contributing part that makes it so difficult to compare his musical style to that of any other artists. Although I thoroughly delight in Late Registration as a whole, Roses is my favorite composition due to the lyrical substance and the behavior in which West chose t o express his degree.West composed the piece entirely himself, a deeply moving story where he recounts his emotions and those of his family as his grandmother lay ill due to core complications and his views of the healthcare system. Although he did non write out his lyrics at the time, this did not hinder the meaning of the composition in any modality as his passion and conviction are still evident in the tonality of his voice and heart felt words as he ever so clearly conveys his story to the listener.The Grammys classifies the composition to a lower place its solicit category. In 2006 Late Registration was nominated for five Grammys of which it won three for best rap song, best rap solo performance, and best rap album. In my opinion the category suits the composition because though it is not typical, it still is rap. I believe that this song should be a part of our course because of its fragment of improvisation, which is one of the cornerstones of Jazz.As I mentioned befor e, West did not write down any of his lyrics for the composition, or for any of his get-go four studio albums for that matter, it was all improvised from his head straight to the recording, similar to the bass improvisations of the great Charles Mingus. It potentiometer be said that the compositions does sire a rhythm section, yet it is not one composed of military personnel players. Instead what you hear is an eclectic mix of synthesized instrument clips compiled into a beat.In the composition West raps over quietly and a slow rhythm with the chorus then bringing in trumpet riffs, electric guitar, and forthright sample from Curtis Mayfields composition Rosie. So all in all, I am happy to have been able to elaborate on this composition and shined some light on many details and elements that whitethorn have been overlooked or just not known by you guys, the listeners. I could only take to that you enjoyed the music as much as I did and am glad to have been able let loose to yo u about a composition that I really admire.
