Kanye West's "The College Dropout" (2004)

Tracklisting:
01 | Intro
02 | We Don't Care
03 | Graduation Day
04 | All Falls Down
05 | I'll Fly Away
06 | Spaceship
07 | Jesus Walks
08 | Never Let Me Down
09 | Get Em High
10 | Workout Plan
11 | The New Workout Plan
12 | Slow Jamz
13 | Breathe In Breathe Out

15 | School Spirit
16 | School Spirit Skit 2
17 | Lil Jimmy Skit

I still don't know wich album are we going to rank next week. I planned to include the 2010s highest ranked album on our own Poll (not already included on the Rank the Tracks game). Since the Top 85 is not still revealed it will be either "Blackstar" or "To Pimp a Butterfly."

The College Dropout and Late Registration are the only two rap albums I've heard where the skits actually add to the album rather than take away.

That being said, I'm still going to rank them last.

1. Jesus Walks
2. Through the Wire
3. Slow Jamz
4. Family Business
5. All Falls Down
6. Spaceship
7. We Don't Care
8. Two Words
9. Last Call
10. The New Workout Plan
11. School Spirit
12. Never Let Me Down
13. Get Em High
14. Breathe In Breathe Out
15. I'll Fly Away
16. Lil Jimmy Skit
17. School Spirit Skit 1
18. School Spirit 2
19. Graduation Day
20. Intro
21. Workout Plan

Hi, jbirt92, welcome to the forum. At the very beginning of the game we decided that the skits should be ranked too (if you don't rank them they tend to end higher on the overall list). So I've introduced the songs not included in your list in random.org and the results were:
16. School Spirit Skit 2
17. Graduation Day
18. Lil Jimmy Skit
19. School Spirit Skit 1
20. Intro
21. Workout Plan
I've tabulated your votes in this order, if you want to change it you still can do it.

This album always used to irk me as I didn't like the high-pitched samples on the most-played songs (Through the Wire & Slow Jamz) and my roommate at university would always play it (mainly the singles). But since the release of '...in Paris', which was practically part of my soundtrack of teaching/pretending to teach abroad, I've found plenty more Kanye tracks I like (plenty I don't as well) but this is the first time I've heard TCD in full for over a decade, it won't be the last though! Still don't like the squeakiest tracks, mind:

04| All Falls Down
08| Never Let Me Down
