The first album was made with a little pressure of success because a lot of people in the rap scene were skeptical as him being a "rapper" cause he used to be a producer for people like jayz. But after a huge success by charting in and winning multiple grammys gave him a lot of freedom going in to his sophomore. So he tried to mix some orchestral elements to his original soulful sample style with this one. Edit: and also his next album called graduation is filled with stadium bangers with a heavy synth electronic style elements, inspired because of an occasion when Jayz brought kanye to his stadium tour and he got fascinated by the people chanting and stuff which made him wanting to make an album for stadiums and clubs. That is why it is many people's favorite album and had huge commercial succes (sold 900k in the first week lmao)
I would say this is kanye's best production wise (in my opinion, ik a lot of people will disagree). Like look at how he combine background vocals, instruments, ad-libs, and his flow in this album is just insane tbh, crazy pen game. This album got me to love kanye even more.
A little pressure of success? lol his entire career was riding on his first album esp considering his car accident, he only had one and only one shot to prove he could make it as a rapper, that’s why he made it a big deal to release through the wire.
This is probably Kanye's best album lyrically, after this it slowly grows more into being vibes. He's still lyrically great for a while though, I'd just say this one is peak in that department
thanks for reacting to this, if you want to react to more kanye, the next album is graduation, which is his most popular album. (also, one of the best tracks from this album was unreleased, so it probably won’t be on any playlists so you’ll probably have to search for it separately if you want to react to it, it’s called “bittersweet poetry!”)
also bittersweet poetry wasn’t unreleased because it wasn’t finished, it’s completely finished and is probably one of his most meaningful tracks from him. it was only unreleased because the sample didn’t clear 😭
Subscribed! Your reactions are awesome. Please do a reaction to Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. With a catalogue of masterpiece albums, MBDTF is his magnum opus. It’s his best, hands down.
used to jam heard em say in the winter his discography up to life of pablo is pretty much great album after great album but there's something so sincere about college dropout + late reg.
I’ve been waiting for this ❤ it is such an amazing album and there are so many other amazing albums after this so enjoy 👍 BTW just something to say, before Kanyes mom passed away she didn’t actually hear the album version of hey mama, instead she heard Kanye perform it in front of her for the first time ever on the Oprah show.
I personally prefer The college dropout but Late registration is also goated. Can't wait to see you react to other Kanye albums especially My beautiful dark twisted fantasy, his Mona Lisa
Diamonds from sierra leone is my favorite song on this album I prefer the original version over the remix but please react to graduation;This was a great video🗣️🔥
Graduation is next and there’s def songs you’ll recognize on there (Side note: if you liked gone I recommend listening to The Good The Bad The Ugly by Consequence and Kanye!)
Im really enjoying your reactions. Hope you react to some Kid Cudi and some old school hip hop like Tupac, Biggie, WuTang, etc. But how are you from Chicago and NOT heard any of Kanye's #1 singles?!? Lololol. Great reactions though 👌
You know what ? It's not rap but you should check out Maroon 5's debut album "Songs About Jane". Before they became a fucking parody of themselves they were actually funky as fuck. Also now that I've said the word funky it really makes me want to recommend the Jamiroquai album "Travelling Without Moving". Peace.
If you ever end up listening to graduation (my favorite ye album), here’s some stuff you gotta know about it: - The album is a blend of pop and rap (Sounds very unique in comparison to his other albums) - The goal was to create music equipped for stadiums (Tons of bangers are on the album) - Expect many hit songs on there (you may already know some lol) - It’s honestly a flawless album besides the track “Drunk and Hot Girls”, which is the only skip imo - “Good Night” is a bonus track that was added years after the project’s initial release. It works well as the outro, but it’s interesting knowing that “Big Brother” was the og outro
7 minutes is long to you? Back in my day every song was like 5-7 minutes. I personally prefer it, if I like a song I want it to go on longer. I don't like any music below 3 minutes.
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!
This album was very special to me. I'm so happy I can listen to this discography with you, lmk what's next!
There’s a bonus track in the album; the OG Diamonds. It’s just Kanye and arguably the best version.
🔥 best album from kanye
fr
Third best*
Yessir! Loved both reactions so far, very entertaining. Even for stuff not related to Kanye, hope you keep it up bro🔥

The guy with the funny voice on the opening skit is Bernie Mac.
that wasn't paul wall on the last verse of drive slow, that was GLC
thanks for reacting to this, if you want to react to more kanye, the next album is graduation, which is his most popular album.
