The College Dropout by Kanye West (2004)initiated by Raghu on January 05, 2007 Even with extended skits and lots of filler, West's debut stands as the smartest, funniest and most important rap album of the new century. The pink Polo-wearing son of an ex-Black Panther and a college English professor, West wasn't the first to bring a buppie sensibility to hip-hop, but he infused "Jesus Walks," "All falls Down" and "Never Let Me Down" (which featured a tremendous guest verse from his mentor and record company president, Jay-Z) with wit, intelligence and most of all, complexity. |
