You're jumping the gun...This album was more or less what he left on the editing room floor for "College Dropout." This whole album feels trite--was he in the studio for an entire year to get this album done, or was he living the fat life with his gold chain and watch? Don't get me wrong--What he said to W needed to be said by the Black population in this country for a LONG time...but he is not the 'hot shit' he thinks he is...
