The College Dropout is the debut studio album by American rapper and producer Kanye West. It was released on February 10, 2004, by Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records. A widespread critical success, The College Dropout was praised for West's production, humorous and emotional raps, and the music's balance of self-examination and mainstream sensibilities. It earned the rapper several accolades including a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards. It has since been named by Time, Rolling Stone, and other publications as one of the greatest albums of all time. In the years leading up to the album, West had received praise for his production work for rappers such as Jay-Z and Talib Kweli, but faced difficulty being accepted as an artist in his own right by figures in the music industry. Intent on pursuing a solo career, he signed a record deal with Roc-A-Fella and recorded The College Dropout over a period of four years, beginning in 1999. The album's production was primarily handled by West and developed his "chipmunk soul" production style, which made use of sped-up, pitch-shifted vocal samples from soul and R&B records, in addition to West's own drum programming, string accompaniments, and gospel choirs; it also features contributions from Jay-Z, Mos Def, Jamie Foxx, Syleena Johnson, and Ludacris, among others. Diverging from the then-dominant gangster persona in hip hop, West's lyrics concern themes of family, self-consciousness, materialism, religion, racism, and higher education. The College Dropout debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 441,000 copies in its first week of sales. It was a massive commercial success, becoming West's best-selling album in the United States, with domestic sales of over 3.4 million copies by 2014. The album was promoted with singles such as "Through The Wire", "Jesus Walks", "All Falls Down", and "Slow Jamz", the latter two of which peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.

Love the songs. I enjoy your music. Thank you for not giving up.

Another Level. Best Album By Mr. West

Classic. Kanye's ego might be as big as the moon, but the dude's got a discography like no other, and it all started on his amazing debut record, The College Dropout. This and MBDTF are the best I've listened from him so far, and I am going to listen to his other albums one day.

You have a lot of talent. Sorry for being a jerk on instagram. I hope you can understand. I love your music. If wasn’t for some of your albums I wouldn’t be doing this. Thankyou ✊🏾🙏

A Classic. Undeniably a masterpiece

Great Debut Album. Amazing 1st album by ye

Wow. Top 3 Kanye album

Kanye at his finest!. Love this album! Brings back memories. IMO still his best album and the most rewarding.

Always was, and still is a hack.. Never understood the appeal of Kanye and his music. This is terrible.

Love the Message. Kanye is awesome. Thanking Jesus for saving Kanye and transforming him into a strong, brave and faithful servant of our Lord. It takes courage and conviction to make an album that you know will get a lot of backlash.... but you didn’t retreat. You stayed the course. Your songs all have a power message and I’m listening to them over and over again. Thank you, and my prayers on your continued journey as a Christian disciple.

Fearless Warior. This man got signed to Roc-a-fella records when trap rapping was at an all-time high. Kanye dropped some jewels in this one!! He was a voiece for some who weren't mainstream and could see the hypocrisy of society. DOPE, REFRESHING, and INSPIRING!!!

Pure Brilliance!. This was that needed Anchor we needed in Hip Hop.
