Ten years ago today (February 10), Kanye West released his debut album, The College Dropout. Today, West issued a statement on Twitter about his Roc-A-Fella Records/Def Jam debut album.
“Ten years ago today we finally released what had been my life’s work up to that point: The College Dropout,” he says. “I say ‘finally’ because it was a long road, a constant struggle, and a true labor of love to not only convince my peers and the public that I could be an artist, but to actually get that art out for the world to hear. I am extremely grateful to each and every person along that road who helped, lent an ear, lent their voice, gave of their heart to that project, and to all the projects that followed, and are to come. I am honored and humbled by my fans, for the unwavering support and love over the past 10 years. I wake up every day trying to give something back to you that you can rock to and be proud of.”
Despite the years that have passed, West says he remains true to the person that he was when he crafted the debut.
“Ten years later I am still the same kid from Chicago, still dreaming out loud, still banging on the door,” West said. “The doors may be heavier, but I promise you we will break them.”

how sway
overrated
“I am honored and humbled by my fans”. HAHAHAHaHa!! Need I say more
Kanye is definitely NOT the same person I remember 10 years ago. Before he got hitched to that cum dumpster, became rich & bought a bunch of useless gold toilet seats, and threw a temper tantrum whenever he hit his bigg ass head on stop signs, he used to be a seemingly HUMBLE, down to earth human being.
kanyes always been cocky af, success has just given him a bigger head.
maybe so, but that cockiness has always been kept in check somewhat ten years ago
And who cares about this pop star’s first mainstream pop-rap album? In 2004, Tha Carter was the best album out. I listened to it every day, and imagined Wayne’s well crafted hood stories. He is a lyrical genius and he produced better beats than Kanye West. swag
Obvious troll.
kim kardashian said hes the best producer and best rapper of the last decade so you know its true
she thought reggie bush and kris humphries were the best too, ray j was the best singer and nick canon was the best actor
10 years later I am still a college dropout!!!! congrats Kanye!
