A daring way to introduce himself to the masses as an MC, the enterprising West recorded the song during his recovery from a car wreck that nearly took his life -- while his jaw was wired shut. Prior to this album, we were more than aware that West's stature as a producer was undeniable now we know that he's also a remarkably versatile lyricist and a valuable MC.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "The numerous guests never out-shine their host's vocals, meaning this is one drop-out graduating near the top of his class.", "His surprising debut disc is the most impressive hip-hop CD of the young year....The Chicago native shuns hip-hop's tired SCARFACE iconography for a broad topicality..." - Rating: A-, 3.5 stars out of 5 - "West has something to prove on DROPOUT....His ace in the hole is his cozy sound - dusty soul samples, gospel hymns, drums that pop as if hit for the very first time.", Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "The red-hot producer delivered a solo debut that partied all over its contradictions...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"West's Rhymes Are Wry, Witty, Warm and Unswervingly Self-Aware.", Ranked #1 in Spin's "40 Best Albums of the Year" - "He is witty, provocative, and intensely devoted...", Ranked #12 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "He leavens the swagger and bling of hip hop with lyrics that are wry, witty and aware."

  • Record no good

    The record doesn’t work properly. It is slightly warped and therefore skips a lot. I am having to return it which is such a shame as it was meant for my son as a birthday present. Very disappointed. Will not be using this company again.
