{"product_id":"the-college-dropout-lp","title":"The College Dropout [LP]","description":"Personnel: Kanye West, CLC, Consequence, Jay-Z, J. Ivy, Talib Kweli, Twista, Ludacris, Mos Def, Freeway (rap vocals); Jamie Foxx (spoken vocals); The Harlem Boys Choir, Syleena Johnson (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eProducers: Kanye West, Brian Miller, Miri Ben-Ari.\u003cbr\u003eFor most artists who are discovered behind the mixing boards, making the transfer from producer to MC proves a daunting task. Fortunately for Kanye West, his verbal skills more than rise to the challenge of his consistently superior beats. A sprawling concept record that tackles issues of everyday life with wisecracking humor and unexpected honesty, THE COLLEGE DROPOUT confirms West's status as one of hip-hop's most refreshing voices.\u003cbr\u003eThe leadoff single, \"Through the Wire,\" perfectly exemplifies West's distinct vision. Recorded while his jaws were still wired shut after a near-fatal car accident, West hilariously reflects upon his predicament over a sped-up Chaka Khan sample. Other songs address potentially somber topics--ghetto life (\"We Don't Care\"), religion (\"Jesus Walks\"), and family turmoil (\"Family Business\")--yet somehow retain a truly hopeful spirit. Although THE COLLEGE DROPOUT features top-notch cameos from Talib Kweli, Common, Mos Def, Freeway, Jay-Z, Ludacris, and Twista, it's clearly West's show.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45934954840351,"sku":"602498617410","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/929d41467b60c25b05783a552ae5e8d9_99d4ca9b-62ba-4241-9ace-bfd38416777d.jpg?v=1782650671","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/the-college-dropout-lp","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
