Kanye West The College Dropout ( Roc-a-fella/Def Jam) Rating: NN
Rating: NN
Frustrated with seeing Jay-Z and everyone else using his beats getting rich and famous, hiphop producer Kanye West steps out from behind the board and picks up a microphone for his solo debut, The College Dropout, which reportedly proved to be a hard sell to the labels. That’s completely understandable, since his clichéd social studies are just as weak as his playa party jams, and, clearly, he wasn’t saving his best joints for himself. You know you’re in trouble when you need to rely on the singing skills of Jamie Foxx to sell your disc.
