5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, October 18, 2004

By	Musac Critic - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Though I don't listen to near as much rap music as I do other genres, I find this release to be very focused, different, and very refreshing! "The College Dropout" is very different from other rap albums and for me ranks up there with the likes of OutKast's double album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below". Kanye's style of rap is different, and something about it makes it unique. As well as that, the production of this album is flawless! This album resembles (for me at least) albums of the past that showcased "hits" as opposed to 2 or 3 solid songs. Here's my rundown of the hits on this album: "We Don't Care", "All Falls Down" (it is ashamed Syleena Johnson is as underrated as she is), "Spaceship", "Jesus Walks", "School Spirit", "The New Workout Plan", and this is just to name a few. Furthermore, the interludes are not dumb and work well with this album. Kanye, I hope your next album is just as good, if not better (hopefully even better) than this masterpiece! 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, May 9, 2004

A Kid's Review

I bought this cd thinking i would only like two songs (All falls down and slow jamz), but when i first listened to some of the other songs, they blew me away. He has awesome rhymes and creativity you wont find in 50 or eminem (not that i have anything against them). It isnt about violence and drugs, but has lyrics that have some thought in them. The way they did slow jamz is way better than the way they did it on the radio. I know if you buy this cd, you will find yourself listening to more than one song over and over again. For those parents who cant have all the dirty language, the cd edits it out perfectly and everything i have listened to so far has been clean. P.S.- Rock on, Kanye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing!!!, April 16, 2004

By	Linda C. Jennings "ennui50" (Chicago, ILLINOIS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Now,lately rap music had been in a very dark realm in my opinion...Kanye West's new joint is the most refreshing music to date...its been a while since any rapper has discussed at length the social issues, ironies and the redemption of living the hard knock life. The story telling is so vivid that you can relate to the situations that he raps about. You may be jammin and dancing to the rhythm, but its the content and dissection of the social message that is the star of this cd....this is a must have! Keep tellin it like it is kanye..the message is not falling on deaf ears...rhythm nation is listening!
