Kanye West breaks through some high expectations on the latest record from his label bearing the name \u201cKanye West presents GOOD Music: Cruel Summer,\u201d released Sept. 8.<\/p>\n

It entered the charts at No. 2 its first week on music charts, according to MTV\u2019s official blog.<\/p>\n

West continues to bring his expected provocative, hotline-spitting, in-your-face style on more than half the tracks on the album.<\/p>\n

His last album in 2010, \u201cMy Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy\u201d and his previous collaboration with Jay-Z on \u201cWatch The Throne\u201d last year left much to look forward to for fans this year.<\/p>\n

G.O.O.D music stands for Getting Out Our Dreams. That is what new rappers Pusha\u00a0T and Big Sean have done by being part of an album with hip-hop juggernauts such as Wu Tang Clan, Ghost Face Killah\u00a0and Raekwon.<\/p>\n

Drake, R. Kelley, Ma$e and Jay-Z are not on the G.O.O.D. Music label yet give the compilation its diversity of high-profile artists that attracts many fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cMercy\u201d was one of the leaked singles to build up hype for the album. Twenty-four weeks since its release, it stands at No. 2 on the Billboard.com charts.<\/p>\n

Hard-hitting 808 bass sound that is often played in dance clubs or heard in cars with serious sound systems makes you feel the attitude for the album.<\/p>\n

John Legend, Cyhi\u00a0the Prynce, Malik Yusef\u00a0and Teyana Taylor represent the music label well on \u201cSin City.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCreepers\u201d is a solo track produced by Dan Black featuring the pitch-switching flow of Kid Kudi that seems unorthodox for the style of the album.<\/p>\n

Up-and-coming rapper 2 Chainz delivers the Southwest trap-style raps on the album to keep the variety plentiful.<\/p>\n

Ending the compilation with the remix of Chief Keef\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Like\u201d leaves listeners wanting more of the bass-heavy crude rap style that the album has to offer.<\/p>\n

The artists makes clever references to popular iconic fashion within the hip-hop culture, such as Air Jordan shoes, giving great mental imagery to keep the listener entertained.<\/p>\n

Rapping about $350,000 Mercedes Maybachs, \u201cbuying 80 gold chains and going ignant\u201d as West says on \u201cClique\u201d is repetitive in the current rap world.<\/p>\n

Lyrics addressing current issues such as Mitt Romney\u2019s tax return and the spike in the murder rate in West\u2019s hometown of Chicago in the summer of this year, bring a good element to the album.<\/p>\n

Raising the concern of what is happening in today\u2019s world is a key element of hip-hop that is needed in the music industry of today.<\/p>\n

In an interview with BET\u2019s popular TV show \u201c106 and Park,\u201d West explained how everything, from the album art cover to the music videos, are meant to speak for the album itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we\u2019re making music to create to, to be creative to; music you can listen to on your way to work so you can deal with your boss; music you listen to because you\u2019re the boss so you could deal with your employees,\u201d West said.<\/p>\n

Do not expect to hear the newest solo Kanye West album, as the label is branching out to a bigger variety of sound genres.<\/p>\n

With a $9.99 price tag on iTunes, it is an album with a variety of style, artist and enough controversial rap to keep any hip-hop listener entertained.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
