from Watching the Throne: A Lyrical Analysis of Kanye West · host New School Critics
The first time Chris and Travis cycled through every song on Kanye West's first album, The College Dropout, they weren't up to the task.

That's why Chris and Travis are cycling back through every song on The College Dropout. In this episode, they preview the album's narrative and discuss what they're most excited about this season.
