“Wow, this is really flattering. I’ve had some ups and downs this year, we’ll actually this decade. Just seeing this cover takes me back to that time of my life,” Kanye reflected. “I remember how much pain and love went into this album. No one saw it coming. This project wasn’t about me, it was about a time in people’s lives where people force opinions on you and you have to make choices for yourself. We loved 50 Cent but we wanted to be the yang. We wanted to wear pink polos and rap about being hurt on this album everyday.”
“I was most inspired by The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and I listened to that album everyday while working on my debut,” West revealed. “Thank you for the acknowledgement and for putting Blueprint on the list also. I loved The Love Below and Get Rich or Die Tryin’, also. They equally deserved the number one spot in my eyes but there can only be one number one!”

I heard bits & pieces of The College DropOut but im sure Ye deserved this.... With Get Rich Or Die Tryin i heard most of those tracks on mixtapes so it wasnt as a big surprise when his album dropped.... but Ye did Rap out of the norm and from a different point of view but the main thing is that he was able to exprees how he felt in such a way that a diverse audience could listen and bounce with it.....
