Now beat that And your mothers sayin ?go to college? So you finish college and its wonderful U feel so good And after all the partying and crazing And don't forget about that drug habit you picked up at school being around your peers Hey now you'll get that 25 thou, job a year and You'll spend all your money on crack cocaine, but it'll be you're your money No more borrowin' money from mom for my high So now you get your degree tattooed on your back your so excited about it If you continue to work at the GAP, after several interviews, Oh my god You'll come in at an entry level position and when you do that If u kiss enough ass, you'll move up to the next level Which is being a secretary's secretary And boy is that great, you get to take messages for the secretary Who never went to college She's actually the bosses niece, so now your apart of the family You know what college does for you? It makes you really smart man All you kids want to talk in the back of the class not me, I listened, ok I was a hall monitor, This was meant to be You know how many classes I took, extra classes extra classes No I've never had sex but you know what, my degree keeps me satisfied When a lady walks to me says ?hey you know what's sexy?? I say ?no, I don't know what it is, but I bet I can add up all the change in your purse very fast?
College Drop Out, the debut from the most sought-after hip-hop producer not named Pharrell, delivers the unthinkable: West magically sledgehammers home his opinions on taboo topics over beats that are equally daring. The envelope-ripping beats shouldn't come as a surprise given that he's supplied the soundscapes to monster singles by everyone from Alicia Keys ("You Don't Know My Name") to Talib Kweli ("Get By"). What is freakish is that in West's world, rhymes about strippers, God, college life and guns can coexist tidily and not undermine each other. On "Breathe in Breathe Out" he raps "I gotta apologise to Mos and Kweli/ Is it cool to rap about gold if I told the world I copped it from Ghana and Mali"–tongue firmly planted in cheek. On the catchy "Through the Wire", fuelled by a Chaka Khan hook, he spits some impeccable rhymes despite his jaw being wired shut after a near-fatal car accident. Maybe it was this brush with mortality that kicked his lyrics into high gear on "All Falls Down". The skits on here are just as potent, one poking fun at the overeducated underclass that makes a small fraction of the loot he does. With jaw-dropping cameos from Jay-Z, Common, Mos Def and the Harlem Boys Choir plus the feel-good club tune of the year, "Slow Jamz" featuring Twista, College Dropout is as explosive, contradictory and complex as rap music gets.
