Thank you guys so much for watching. What does The College Dropout mean to you?

@lenydrake1716 3 года назад

The College Dropout is more than an album to me, it is the tale of how the dream of a young man came to fruition through hard work and determination. It truly is an inspiring story that pushes you to get on the grind towards the place where you desire to be in life, it pushes you to get past your low self-esteem and speak up against the people and the things that are holding you down. It is a defiance to all of the people that didn't believe or straight up ignored Kanye's rapper asprirations, it is a testament to how nobody can get between him and his objectives. Kanye decided to stay true to himself and produce the album he had envisioned, it is just a great and motivating story of success against all the odds. The album is connected to the issues of real life and real people, it talks to the listener and is very relatable to the young mids (and old, because why not?) of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I listened to Kanye West when I lost my tech job and became a pizza delivery driver, I listened to Kanye West when I bounced back and became a photographer for a living, and I listened to Kanye West when covid hit and couldn't do it for awhile, and everytime I couldn't pay my bills. And I felt powerful every time. The college dropout is my favorite album. Next to Late Registration. When I feel terrible I can motivate myself with Kanye West.

This album helped turn my uni failure into success in business. 2002-2003 I was angry af w myself because of failing lawschool. I was surrounded by lots of ‘friends’ who reinforced my negative self image and fed off of that. When this album came out it was perfectly timed. It put me on a path I would’ve never found otherwise. I really do feel it can bring out the winner out of someone that’s not supported by their environment.

So much topics and subject matter all rolled into one album while still telling a unique story that stood out so drastically from other major hip hop artist at the time. No other album motivates and inspires me as much as this album. Thank you so much for this amazing video.

To me The College Dropout is the theme music to an adventure. My adventure into finding my place in society. I’m not aiming to change the world or even change someone. I just want to live a happy life that I can look back and be proud of when I reach my elder years. I believe Kanye’s ego is strong enough to become someone else’s confidence. That’s why I love his music.

Great video. Kanye is a self empowerment artist. If you follow him through the years, you will see why he is one of the greatest artist of all time. Everybody doubted him but he kept going despite the people laughing at him, talking behind his back, etc. even Jay-Z didn’t believe in him. Now he has surpassed his own idol. How many people can say that? Kanye is an example of what happens when you believe in yourself unconditionally. if you believe in Kanye, you believe in yourself

College dropout to me is like me listening to my misguided youth again. From the manic highs to manic lows to grinding it out with dreams of grandeur while taking out trash during grave shift at Carl’s Jr. what you said about it being honest is so true, I don’t listen to it and think of parties where it was playing, I play it and literally feel like I was in that time again emotionally.

@yellaboy2617 3 года назад

In 2003, I stumbled upon the story of Emmett Till, and it traumatized me; I was the same age then as he was when he was killed. For a while, I dwelled on it by myself, and thought nobody else knew about it but me. To hear Kanye mention him on "Through the Wire" resonated with me, and is one of the things I remember most about the album.

As a 15 year old kid who’s gonna have to start making money in less than 6 months, I see The College Dropout as a piece of advice for what’s to come in my life. In fact, I feel like that would be a good way to describe the majority of his discography.

This album means so much to me cuz he's my favorite rapper of all time and even tho its not my favorite of his it feels the rawest and most like a peer or friend speaking to you than a full blown famous rapper. This album also has a connection to me cuz it was released 2 days before I was born (not to be so young)

@hiyihiyiscarantinlo2576 3 года назад

Tcd will always be my favourite album because of what it did for my musical taste I used to listen to music passively but from the moment the first track played I knew that I was in for something good but I didn’t realise it would take me from a passive music listener to a music lover and continuing through Kanye’s discography just strengthened that. Even if I hear albums that are objectively better I know they’ll never have the same place in my heart as this one. However it also made me more socially aware and me think about topics I’d never contemplated at that point in my life.

Discovered it in moments, first listened when I was 13, at 16 now know the whole thing, but so many poignant “first time” moments were soundtracked by that album. I can’t listen to ‘Last Call’, ‘We Don’t Care’ or ‘Never let me Down’ without vivid memories of recent history, just a few years ago, but to me seems like eras ago, all underlined with the College Dropout.

Early Kanye will always be in rotation in my playlists. This Album... Late Registration. Legendary Albums imo. I can relate just being from Chicago.... hearing all the Chicago references.... hearing the songs in rotation all the time growing up, the production, hearing everybody vibe to the songs in the Chicago summers.... got memories for days. I also grew up not too far from where Ye grew up, then he collabs with Chance the Rapper, whom I went to high school with who's lyrics I can also relate to.

Honestly College Dropout related to me with the struggle .. I wanted to stunt but with what? Ain’t no cash and I’m already late or bills with overdrawn accounts. I think that’s why it hit different for me. Spaceships is one of my favorite songs from the album he dead said "If my manager insults me again,I will be assaulting him. After I fuck the manager up ,then I’ll shorten the register up." I felt that cuz managers be shady asf .. you need this money but it’s like if I fuck him up then shit I’ll make sure it counts! I genuinely felt that shit.
