They did an album review of college dropout on 1xtra the other day. It didn't sound as good as I thought it might. Although the songs that are played regularly like 'through the wire' and 'jesus walks' are quality tunes. Not the greatest rapper though.
when i first got it, i thought it was mediocre at best but having had a couple of days listening to it I really like it now. He may not be the best rapper in the world but i listen to it for the music just as much, if not more than the rapping and he has a few good rappers collaborating with him too! He also seems to rap about different stuff to most rappers.
