Happy Birthday to one of the greatest albums in hip hop, The College Dropout 🎉

To celebrate its 22 year anniversary, we wanted to share 10 facts about the album you may not know. Did any of these surprise you? 👀

From Kanye West getting the car crash that wired his jaw shut and inspired the lead single “Through the Wire” to his recording budget being frozen by Roc-A-Fella, he literally put blood, sweat and tears into this album 🤯

It all paid off after it debuted at No. 2 on Billboard 200, selling almost 500k copies first week and winning the Grammy for Best Rap Album 🏆
