- The_College_Dropout abstract "The College Dropout is the debut studio album by American hip hop artist Kanye West, released February 10, 2004, on Roc-A-Fella Records. It was recorded over a period of four years, beginning in 1999. Prior to the album's release, West had received praise for his production work on rapper Jay-Z's The Blueprint (2001), but faced difficulty being accepted as a rapper in his own right by figures in the music industry. Nonetheless intent on pursuing a solo career, West worked on the album for several years before finally receiving a record deal with Roc-A-Fella Records.The album's production was handled entirely 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 accompaniment, and gospel choirs. It features vocal contributions from Jay-Z, John Legend, Ervin \"EP\" Pope, Miri Ben-Ari, and Syleena Johnson and many other artists. Diverging from the then-dominant gangster persona in hip hop, West's lyrics on the album concern themes of family, self-consciousness, materialism, religion, racism, and higher education. The album was promoted by singles including \"Through the Wire\" and \"Jesus Walks\", both of which received critical acclaim. \"All Falls Down\" and \"Slow Jamz\" both charted within the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the latter charting at number one.Upon its release, The College Dropout debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 441,000 copies during its first week. It was a massive commercial success, producing five singles that achieved chart success, and it received universal acclaim from music critics, earning West several accolades that included a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 47th Grammy Awards. It is West's best-selling album in the United States, with domestic sales of 3.4 million copies and worldwide sales of over 4 million copies. It is often listed among the greatest debut albums of all time and has been named by Time and Rolling Stone as one of the greatest albums of all time.".
