Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This debut from the most sought-after hip-hop producer not named Pharrell delivers the unthinkable: West magically sledgehammers home his opinions on taboo topics over beats that are equally daring. The envelope-ripping beats shouldn't come as a surprise given that he's supplied the soundscapes to monster singles by everyone from Alicia Keys ("You Don't Know My Name") to Talib Kweli ("Get By"). What is freakish is that in West's world, rhymes about strippers, God, college life, and guns can co-exist tidily and not undermine each other. On "Breathe In Breathe Out" he raps "I gotta apologize to Mos and Kweli/is it cool to rap about gold if I told the world I copped it from Ghana and Mali"--tongue firmly planted in cheek. On the catchy "Through the Wire," fuelled by a Chaka Khan hook, he spits some impeccable rhymes despite his jaw being wired shut after a near-fatal car accident. Maybe it was this brush with mortality that kicked his lyrics into high gear on "All Falls Down." The skits on here are just as potent, one poking fun at the overeducated underclass that makes a small fraction of the loot he does. With jaw-dropping cameos from Jay-Z, Common, Mos Def, and the Harlem Boys Choir plus the feel-good club tune of the year, "Slow Jamz" featuring Twista, College Dropout is as explosive, contradictory, and complex as rap music gets. --Dalton Higgins Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - classici listened to this everyday when it first came out. it's a fun cd to listen to. his lyrics are crazy, but his beats are on point. Rating:  - A mataphor?The title must be a metaphor for West himself, because only someone as uneducated and stupid as he is would think as much of this garbage and himself as he does. Rating: - Good StuffI think Kanye is the best rapper currently out there- fresh rhymes, intelligent, and would sound good even without the beats. Rating:  - damn near perfect 4.9 starsi have never heard a perfect cd before but this ranks among all the 4.9s this is a cd where i honestly couldn't skip a song. it was in my cd player all of the 07 summer. just buy it. each song is great. the skits are short and sweet and not retarded [like most skits on hip hop albums]... buy it. one click buy it now. Rating: - I Loved it at first, but some of that same Love has faded...I like some of the skits but 4-5 is too much. Spaceship is an obvious highlight. It's about working at a dead end job not getting paid enough having big dreams and because of all of that walking the hell out of that mother____er! I like His style in that song. And the production is super-solid. The singer actually singing is great too. 5.5/5 11/10 His lyrics are OK in places, shine on 2-3 tracks and are really lacking on some such as The Workout Plan which isn't a bad song by any means. But to put it plain and nicely You will only like this if You like Your Hip-Hop funny and shallow. It's OK for what it is I suppose. 3.5/5 7/10 Next, is Jesus Walks. It's solid but nothing great. It's religiously-themed which is OK, ... Read More: |
