KNOW!!! Man, this album is both classic and timeless... When I first popped this CD in my player, I listened non stop from beginning to end, even through the great skits (R.I.P Berni Mac).... The production, content, and creativity behind this album was immaculate and will certainly go down in my top 5 albums of all time... Thankfully Kanye has not failed to deliver on his 2 follow up albums... Classic.

Ha, I act like my opinion really counts, but to me, this is really album of the year.

Backpack rap meets mainstream hiphop....Incredible album and could be heard from track 1 till the end. Original, smooth, and headbopping too. Anyone hating on Kanye is probably broke anyway. West could be cocky at times but damn..... "Can we Live?"..... 5 mikes, shoulda been signed twice!!!!

Now I have 2 rap cds, the first being the chronic with Dre and Snoop. I got intrigued from a Chicago Tribune review. I was hooked from the the first track. The yin/yang between wild sex and sincere god rap, plus the blue collar/hooked on credit ethos make this a cd you want to hear again and again. Sure there's some chaff, but there's also some righteous wheat from top to bottom. Even if you don't like the genre, it's time to open up.

The producing on the album is crazy. A CD with the instrumentals would even be good; his beats are crazy. He brings a style that we have not seen and his songs have good messages behind them. This is not your everyday album. In my opinion, the best of the ROC did his think. Every song is a hit. He shows that he can hold his own, and not only make hits for others, but make him for himself. Listen to the end of the last track where Kanye talks about his struggle in the game and how he finally made it. It's of the chain.

KANYE WEST IS ON HIS WAY TO BEING ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCERS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAS EVER SEEN HE DOES ONE TRACK ON A JAY-Z ALBUM AND EVERYBODY COMES AFTER HIS SERVICES FOR PRODUCTION ON THEIR ALBUMS THE MAN IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PLATINUM PLAQUES ON HIS WALL BEFORE HIS CAREER IS OVER AND DONE WITH AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS ABUM YET YOU GOT TO BE TRIPPIN GO PICK UP ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED OF THE YEAR

There honestly isn't a song on this album I don't like. The beats are some of the best I ever heard. West is the greatest producer in the game right now. Buy It!

This is one of the most innovative rap albums in along time. Kayne created a album that is amazing from start to finish (except all the skits). It's a welcome relief from all the one hit wonder rappers,that rely heavily on their production,that currently dominate the airwaves. Not only can Kayne produce great tracks but his rapping abilities and rhymes are solid.

Kanye has the realest CD of the year so far. As for the beats on the CD, the guy is amazing mixing music from everywhere to make a great hip-hop sound. One of my favorite CD's of all-time. Get this and listen to "Jesus Walks" and "Never Let Me Down".

Kanye West, one of the best producers in the world brings his beats to his new album college dropout and to me it is sick......got it on bootleg.
|

I didn't expect too much of this album, but in fact it is exceptional. The beats are sick and the rhymes complement the beats perfectly. The features of Talib Kweli, Jay-Z, etc add to the album as well.

When first listening to this album, I was quite surprised at the great production. But then I noticed that Kanye had "ripped" some samples from Dr. Dre's 1992 album, The Chronic. Moreover, I think this is a fairly descent East Coast style Hip-Hop album with great grooves from Kanye's slick production. This album has been overrated by a large margin. It seems like every Hip-Hop fan automatically puts a new crave on some new Rap artist like Kanye. Kanye, you can say is just like 50 Cent from early 2003. I'd like to see West Coast Rap dominate again and even bring back the East/West coast rivalry from the mid-90's. Kanye West is a very talented rapper with a great career ahead. I only wish this album could have had more G-Funk style to have a change in sound; other than the bland pop-rap feel.

Before this cd, I never really liked rap. Now that Ive listened to it, its opened me up to so much more, along with entertaining me with the best album of the year. Great collaborations on this cd, and endless great songs.

Kanye West's "The College Dropout" has some incredible producing. The background music, vocals, and beat are quite impressive, while meshing together and keeping West's reputation as a producer. However, the actual rapping can be lacking, which is why this CD will appeal to those that are (no offence) less experienced with rap -those who think the overall "sound" of the songs makes the songs themselves good.

Wonderful Histoy lesson from Baby Boomer who remember the 50's & 60's. When my children introduced me to this message I knew Mr. West had been properly EDUCATED !!!

The College Dropout combines Kanye's hip hop beats with soulful lyrics to create a unique sound that I can't get enough of. Its an album that I can relate to because he talks about real issues, not just thug life. I have always been a fan of hip hop and have been searching for songs the flow and have meaning. I've had the album since it came out and it is still in my car, all the songs are stuck in my head and it really does not bother me. Even if you don't like rap, give this CD a chance, its different in the best of ways.

Kanye West is picking up right where Jay left off holding it down for Rocafella...this is a must get-NO BOOTLEGS, let the man eat.
|
|
every song on this cd is great. not only our his beats good, his lyrcis our actually inspirational. Jesus Walks anyone? Dont buy other messed up rap. Kanye Wesy defines rap.
|

Ma i from the chi and he is reprsenting to the fullest. I mean all the beat's are hot and the lyrics are bangin it one of the best yet so there's only one word that can describes his work "Perfect"
|

Absolutely fantastic!! LYRICS, BEATS, FLOW- I just love it.

I think this was one of the best albulms I have ever heard, I like how he can take his experience in the everyday struggle and make it a great song. This album is a must hear. If you love great music you will love this album, my favoirte songon the album was "all falls down", because it is a song about a young lady who is in college an dhas no idea why she's there but won't dropout, to impress her family. Then in the same song he says how he is so selfconcious, and how he is a witness of the everyday struggle. Another one of my favorite songs is "the workout plan", I like this song because it make fun of people who try and get ith a superstar for his money. It also says how if ther gonna do that they should at least look good doing it.These ar some reasons why you should go get this album.

lol.. anyway.. i love this album! Finally somebody is making a difference! Keep doing your thing Kanye!
|

The music is good, when there is music. Skits are OK, but a bit too long on this album. I was hoping to get something I could listen to cover to cover. There are a few awesome tracks, but I feel like I didnt get my money's worth.
