Product Description

From 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

By gangstar (england) - See all my reviews
well this album is just amazing It has the 4 singles slow jams, through the wire, jesus walks and all falls down.the album also has other great songs like workout plan we dont care and breathe in breathe out.but there are a couple of songs that just aren't any good like never let me down and two words.so really he has got a great album but it could be better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good CD, Dec 27 2004
By Nasud (Southern Ontario) - See all my reviews
This album was good, but it could have been amazing. The beats are hot, and so are MOST of the lyrics. The tracks that took away from an almost flawless album were The New Workout Plan, and Breathe in Breahte Out. I thought The New Workout Plan was funny at first, but after a while, its just annoying. Breathe in Breathe out messed up the nice storytelling, and conciousness. He better apologize to Mos and Kweli. Now Mos Def's CD The New Danger is sooo good. Check that out. This CD is still good. You should pick it up. The track Slow Jamz isn't exactly the same as the single. It's better.
