Flash track of the day: Kanye West Feat. Twista ‘Slow Jams’
Kanye West - The College Dropout (2004)
Today I want to talk about Kanye's debut album. This record has made a strong impression on me and I'll tell you straight away why. When the album was released, I didn't know much about this gentleman. He was a new rapper and the bear on the cover looked cute. And Jay-Z had something to do with all this. That was about it. His whole eccentricity was already there, but it was perceivable to me first of all through the music and that was immensely pleasing. His debut has a very positive vibe and I like that a lot. 🔥
I also have to say that this album is certainly not his best output from an artistic point of view, but it has remained my favourite album to this day. 🏆 During my studies I worked for almost five years in a record store in Zurich. The store hasn't been around for a long time, but it was one of the coolest jobs I've ever done. We were a sworn in troop and when this record arrived with the new deliveries sometime, it took us by storm. I think, no other album has been played so often over the sound system. It was the lowest common denominator. The electronic freaks and the metal heads could also agree on that. 🤘 And we were also able to fascinate many customers.
When I listen to this album, I think especially of “this is family business, and this is for everybody standing with us, come on, let's take a family Grammy picture." ❤
