Six months ago, everyone knew Kanye's album was going to be a big hit. Since the buzz on his solo work started, he's regularly produced huge and diverse hits, like Talib's 'Get By', Luda's 'Stand Up', and Alicia's 'You Don't Know My Name'. With all the leaked advance tracks, there was no doubt this would be a smash. And it's even better than expected - easily in the top 5 of last year. Besides 'The Black Album', 'The College Dropout' is the first hip - hop record in a long time that you can listen to over and over. It has about 16 full tracks with no filler. The beats are amazing, and it's rare to have such quality on every track these days. Even the skits are great. Kanye might not be the best lyricist and borrows some styles, but he can rap and is more diverse than you'd think. 'All Falls Down' is a potential next single, reinterpreting Lauryn's vocals, almost like a male version of 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'. 'Breathe In Breathe Out' with Luda will be a club hit, and '2 Words' with Mos Def & Freeway is as hot as last year. 'Get Em High' with Talib Kweli & Common is incredible, and 'Jesus Walks' is ambitious. Previous singles 'Slow Jamz' and 'Through The Wire' are also included, making a total of 21 tracks.
