The College Dropout is Kanye West’s groundbreaking debut album, released in 2004. It redefined early 2000s hip-hop with soul-sample-heavy production and introspective lyrics. Blending humor, vulnerability, and social critique, the album challenged mainstream rap norms and introduced Kanye as a visionary voice, balancing ambition with authenticity. It was the first part of the College Trilogy.
My Thoughts on The College Dropout
"The College Dropout is a very good album. His song "Jesus Walks" has a very deep message to it and I love it. Other than that his album is great and that's all I have to say about it."
