somehow that made sense and I completely agree. The problem with College Dropout is the rampant sampling and yet its the best part of it. The beats werent as hard hitting but they were just right and yet they can go neck and neck with any production today.
I feel College Dropout was Kanye's best album as a loose concept album and where his ego was present but wasn't as huge as it was on Graduation which I found his best work after. I loved Late Registration as well and I find that it contains alot of his best production as well. You can argue his first 3 cd's, but 808s, though pretty good was easily his worst album
