Is College Dropout A Classic Yet?
« on: October 21, 2005, 06:17:15 PM »
After letting "Late Registration" soak in, I don't think Kanye can make another College Dropout.  I'm comfortable calling College Dropout a classic now.

My Top 5 off the album are:

1. Family Business
2. Spaceship
3. Slow Jamz
4. Through The Wire
5. Never Let Me Down


what's your top 5 off it, and do you consider it a classic?

It's definitely a classic when comparing it to today's standards but it ain't even close to true classics from the 80's/90's.

1. Through The Wire
2. All Falls Down
3. Last Call
4. Spaceship
5. School Spirit

In my opinion, there can't really be more than 8 or 9 classic albums in a genre or it just dilutes it.  So this album definately don't chart.  It's alright to say something's a "Great" album and not have to call it a classic.  As in, "Hey, Have you heard Quincy Jones' Walking In Space? It's a GREAT Album!".

Can't say it's a classic. I only heard about half the album, so I can't form a complete opinion.

Through the wire
Jesus walks
Slow Jams
and a song who's name I can't remember, lol.
N/A

I don't disagree with anyone saying it isn't a classic, I can totally understand why someone would think that.  But for me, this album just kinda struck a nerve, and it's unlike any other album.  I guess I'll call it a personal classic.

Kanye is definately has a different style than anyone else today. I don't like his music, but I like what he is doing to the industry. The album definately has some asthetic value. I can't call it a classic though.
