The College Dropout
Kanye West
Solid album overall. Some of the lyrics way too comedic, in an early 2000's kind of way (Slim-Shady-esque) for my liking. I realise this was probably done on purpose, as some sort of commentary, but I just found it irritating to listen to at times. As soon as he dialed it back just a little, his sarcastic humor did a good job on getting his point across. Production quality is probably the best part of the album, along with some hip hop all stars doing features. It was a bit too long IMO.

Sonic Youth
your favorite band's favorite band. I can definitely see why. Intuitive guitar sounds, powerful vocals. Pretty hectic and fast paced throughout, but also has some more relaxed songs to break it up a bit. However, not an album I feel the need to listen to over and over again. Not that many memorable songs.

very 90's vibe. Smooth hip hop vocals mixed with a variety of different styles. guess this is the birth of trip hop or something
