Kanye West went bigger, bolder and more orchestral on Late Registration, the 2005 follow-up that proved The College Dropout was no fluke.

West spent a year recording in Hollywood and New York, bringing in film composer and producer Jon Brion to help widen his palette. Instead of relying only on the sped-up soul samples of his debut, he layered in string arrangements, harpsichord, celesta and other instruments rarely heard on rap records. The guest list is stacked, with Jamie Foxx, Lupe Fiasco, Adam Levine, Common, Brandy, Nas and Jay-Z all stepping in, yet the vision remains unmistakably his.

The hits still sparkle. "Gold Digger" reworks a Ray Charles classic with Jamie Foxx channeling the legend himself, a cheeky story-song that became a massive crossover smash. "Touch the Sky" rides a triumphant Curtis Mayfield horn sample with Lupe Fiasco along for the ride, while "Heard 'Em Say" floats on a gentle piano figure and Adam Levine's soft hook. "Hey Mama," his loving tribute to his mother Donda, remains one of the most heartfelt moments in his catalogue.

Late Registration balances ambition and humor with rare skill. It is a landmark of 2000s hip-hop and a record that still rewards close, front-to-back listening on a good pair of speakers.
