Damn… This year marks the 20th anniversary of Kanye West’s debut album, College Dropout. Has it really been that long? It seems like yesterday we became more open minded to pink polos and rockin’ backpacks outside of school hours. Kanye is obviously a very polarizing figure and feel however you want to feel about him, he has some classics under his belt. College Dropout being one of them. So to pay homage to Ye, I wanted to go back in time to the early 2000’s and paint a picture to the lead up to his debut release while highlighting some of the unreleased tracks from that era that you might not have heard.
