Why do we like this?

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Kanye West's seminal debut, The College Dropout, an album widely regarded as a hip-hop classic, and one that still stands the test of time. Despite your thoughts on West's current artistic phase, there is no denying The College Dropout, an album that introduced the world to West's soul-sampling production and reflective lyrical content.

As a West mark, I could sprout superfluous prose about how great the man is, but instead, all I ask is for you to give The College Dropout another listen today, and to help get you keen, I've picked one of my favorite tracks from the album, "Jesus Walks," a song that finds West openly endorsing Christianity, something unheard of in the hip-hop community at that time.

Love him or hate him, there is no denying the impact The College Dropout had on the hip-hop world.
