Apr 28, 2015Arguably West's best album, but not arguably one of the best debut album of all time, College dropout is awesome in its uniqueness and delivers a sound that assured Kanye's future to be bright.
-
Apr 26, 2015Kanye’s production on this album was something new and amazing. It stands out, like the other early-2000’s hip hop albums failed to do. His lyrics were also unique. The only thing that I could say something negative about was the skits. However, these skits helped getting the feel of the album across, so I do not think this drags the album down to much.

May 15, 2016Além de inovador, ¨ The College Dropout ¨ , é um triunfo musical e artÃstico, onde a genialidade e o sarcasmo de Kanye West andam lado a lado.(A+)

Nov 29, 2016The album that started it all. The pitched-up soul samples are iconic to this day and brought about many imitators, but no-one can match what Kanye did here.
Best Songs: We Don't Care, All Falls Down, Jesus Walks, The New Workout Plan, Slow Jamz, Through The Wire, Two Words. -
Jul 14, 2017One of, if not the greatest debut albums in all of hip hop, Every track delivers and it is my third favourite Kanye Album. My favourite of his three first school themed albums.

Oct 8, 2020Amazing album with good flow, lyrics, beats, everything you could want from an album. My favorite debut album and is very well put together with countless skits that aren’t amazing, but entertaining to listen to. Kanye provides a good listening experience.

Dec 23, 2020the "old Kanye" at his highest. classic hip hop samples galore. Ye raps produces and damn near composes this masterpiece of art. Grammy winning lyrics and beats. my favorite track from this "Through The Wire" by the way this album was made during his time experiencing a life threatening car accident that could've cut his life and career short. a musical genius. a musical trademark of Hip Hop.

May 5, 2022One of the best hip-hop albums ever made. An incredible debut that countered the typical 'gansta-rap' found in the genre at the time. Kanye's witty lyrics and fantastic production brought variety to the scene and launched a rap icon.

Oct 2, 2022This album with Kanye coming from a producer to a rapper is great. This debut album is absolutely fantastic. The rapping, producing, samples and everything on this are just absolutely great. the songs on this are just so incredibly fantastic I can't talk about this album well but this has got to be Kanye's best, if you haven't listened I would highly suggest doing so

Feb 17, 2011Like every hip-hop album (even the great ones), Kanye West's The College Dropout is marred by too many guest artists, too many interludes, and just too many songs period. (I challenge every hip-hop artist working today to record just one album with 12 tracks or less-no skits, no guests, no filler.)
-
Feb 17, 2011Most producers who approach the mic do so at their peril, but on Dropout, West turns out to be a full-service hip-hop artiste.

Delivers both ass-shakers and contemplative cuts.
