the college dropout

9/10
favourite track: never let me down

out the gate with an absolute classic. one of the first ye albums i listened to and it really shows him at his best imo. its alwaysa tossup between this and late registration as to which i prefer but theyre both so good. i think the writing on this album is probably his best work to date, and the beats are (mostly) amazing. also good features and an album cover. the tracklist is pretty solid and the 'duds' arent bad at all. I didn't give it a 10/10 bc there are some weaker tracks and moments but overall an amazing record.
