Special edition double vinyl LP. The week this debut album came out, Kanye's name was all over the Top 20s for his hit singles "Through the Wire," "Jesus Walks," "All Falls Down" and "Slow Jamz." What's even more remarkable is that this breakthrough came during his recovery from a car wreck that nearly took his life-the song "Through the Wire" is about the accident, and was recorded two weeks after he was in the hospital, with his jaw still wired shut. He's hailed the event as both the worst thing that could've happened to him, and the best. The record sold 441,000 copies in it's very first week and has been named both by "Time" and "Rolling Stone" as one of the greatest albums of all time. Guest appearances here include Jay-Z, John Legend, Ervin "EP" Pope, Miri Ben-Ari, Syleena Johnson an.

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."
