Kanye West Takes To Twitter To Reflect On 'The College Dropout'

Tuesday, 11 February 2014 Written by Huw Baines

Kanye West has taken to Twitter to reflect on his debut album, 'The College Dropout', which celebrated its 10th birthday on February 10.

The record, which features tracks such as All Falls Down, Jesus Walks and Through The Wire, was critically acclaimed and sold millions of copies worldwide, launching West's career.

In a series of tweets, he said:

"Ten years ago today we finally released what had been my life's work up to that point: The College Dropout. 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 ten years. I wake up every day trying to give something back to you that you can rock to and be proud of. Ten years later I am still the same kid from Chicago, still dreaming out loud, still banging on the door. The doors may be heavier, but I promise you WE WILL BREAK THEM."

West released 'Yeezus', his sixth record, in 2013 and was recently confirmed to headline this year's Wireless Festival alongside Drake and Bruno Mars.
