well, i'd definitely agree on best...uhm, let's call it 'mainstream' album of 2004. There were a few others I really luved, but College Dropout was one of the best fa sure. Like Nima and a couple others said, he might not be a lyricist the calibre of Nas or Crooked I, but his lyrics are well delivered and he got an own, unique style lyrically which is more important than bein able to kick doubles and shit IMO. And production-wise he's a genius and most songs on his album are proof of that

^^^^I agree.

DOPE ALBUM!

Don Seer · « **Reply #20 on:** June 02, 2004, 08:40:22 AM »

it took me a while to get into this album, there are still parts i dont feel.. but at first i didnt feel the concept (esp. with all the skits) and didnt feel the general vibe, thought it was too ermm 'fluffy' i guess... but i got into it..

i'll only play these tracks if i'm in the car... (ultra fussy when driving.. lol)

All Falls Down, Spaceship (sometimes), Jesus Walks, Never Let Me Down, Slow Jamz, Through The Wire and Last Call.

Only classic joint to drop this year so far.............

MANBEARPIG. · « **Reply #24 on:** June 02, 2004, 02:03:28 PM »

I love this album jus like seer it took a while for me to fully enjoy it and I bump more or elss the same joints:

All Falls Down, Spaceship, Jesus Walks, Breathe in Breathe Out, Last Call, Family business(rarely), School Spirit...no skits they are funny but there are too many

Last Call is prolly my fav from the album

PLANT · « **Reply #25 on:** June 02, 2004, 02:43:20 PM »

I made a thread about a week after this album dropped "College Dropout is CLASSIC" and I still feel the same way. Def. agree with Nima, the best album by far dropped this year, and will still be one of the best for years to come IMO.

What I can't understand, is how it's possible to dislike Jay-Z and still be a Kanye fan..

As a rapper, Kanye is Jay-Z light, but with production skills as well..
Not to mention, Jay-Z albums often have some of the same vibe as CG..

Darksider · « **Reply #27 on:** June 02, 2004, 10:12:26 PM »

yep

i was about to make the same post some days ago..but forgot about it..lol

LOL did anyone read the .nfo of Kanye_West-Unreleased_Joints_Vol_2-VLS-2004-RFL?

ÛÛÝ Dear Kanye West ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I hate to say this , but I hate you. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I hate the fact that you sample just as much as P. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Diddy did when he was called Puff Daddy. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I saw that you had a car accident and for a minute ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ you made me feel kind of sympathetic and a little bit ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ psyched up that you made a song with your mouth wired ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ shut, then i realised what a mediocre rapper you are. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I hate that every damn time I turn on my radio or ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ television I hear your voice, something you produced or ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ see your face. Yes Kanye, I do hate you ! ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Did the whole World get brainwashed by you ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ for a minute?... ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ the sped up vocals thing was ok for a second, ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ but has been done to death. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I often wonder if you wasn't associated with Jay-Z ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ how many kids would check for you? ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ their is nothing new or original on this album. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ "Kanye" is NOT the saviour of Hip Hop. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Your album is weak and boring, as a rap listener since ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ 1982 I have seen too much hype over substance & this ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ is a clear case of that. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I feel like you are struggling to match words ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ together like a colorblind person struggles to find ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ a matching pair of socks. Instead of nodding my head ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ to most of the songs, I sit, puzzled, staring at my ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ stereo trying to fiqure out what you are saying. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Maybe if you had stayed in college a little ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ longer you would be able to come up with a more ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ complex rhyme scheme- not the grade school word ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ play your working with now. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Kanye , stick to producing man , and try formulating a ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ joint without sampling all the damm time. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Your appraoch and marketing is spot on , the way you ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ tried to make yourself accepted by the "backpack" ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ and "jiggy" community was very clever marketing. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ However i find it hard to believe i am the only ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ person who thinks your album is weak , you have the ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ weakest flow and are lame when riding beats. Your ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ is like a cheap Talib Kweli with an even worse flow ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Face it , you can't rap and can barely even rhyme ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ I find it amazing that people think your CD is good ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ at all... ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Just because you reviewed it 300 times yourself, ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ calling it 5 stars... ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Personally i don't believe the hype... ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ it's no wonder the price of this CD isdropping like ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ a rock , ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ because it's terrible . ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ In fact , it's the most OVERRATED CD I've heard ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ in years! Your flow is garbage. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ A friend of mine had the audacity to compare this ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ abominable collection of trash to 'Illmatic' ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ...ILLMATIC!! Touching again upon his subject ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ matter, I must say, that your lyrical content ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ is nothing more than the sum total of years of ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ recycled verbal trash. The paucity of lyrical ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ invention and uniqueness is disturbing, unacceptable ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ and just plain garbage.. I 'spose the 'R' was correct ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ when he said that no one could 'Follow The Leader' ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ....you sure as hell couldn't! ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ That everyone rates your CD a ridiculous 5-stars ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ is not indicative of its true worth, but more ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ evident of the state of major label hip hop as ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ being in the lyrical doldrums. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ That we've been plagued with lyrical redundancy ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ for so long is the reason why College Dropout ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ is lauded as the next best thing. It's absurd. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ The fact that reviewers are giving this album ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ five stars and claiming how it's a move for ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ hip hop in the right direction just shows how ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ sorry hip hop has become over the last decade ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ But even more desperate than that is how you ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ constantly throw "material things" in our face ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ to prove you've made it. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Man I remeber when people said that rappers like ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Willie D(from the Geto Boys) were trash, but at ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ least he had the decency to make a song called ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ "Go Back to School". You have a whole nutha agenda. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ You would love for everyone to become uneducated ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ idiots like yourlself. In theory, I guess it ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ makes perfect sense-cause only a brain-dead ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ zombie would spend £15 bucks on a cd like this. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Dumbed down for the masses-that's what this music ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ is. You are rapidly becoming the poster child for ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ the staement "ignorance is bliss" ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ You need to finish your degree because once people ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ find out you have hoodwinked them, your career will ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ be over. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ P.S. I'm not being a hater, I'm just tellin' it like ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ it is. ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ ÞÛÛ
ÛÛÝ Rocket Man. ÞÛÛ
