I loved The College Dropout and I didn't mind what he said about it. His ego will not allow him to release some wack album. His ego isn't the size where he thinks he is too good to put efforrt into everything he does and that people will love half arsed sh!t naw, he's also pretty insecure and it comes out in his music so he tries to make something that everybody will love. That's why he tinkers with his beats sooooo much (he said Late Reg was 75% complete last year) because he wants to put out the best shit so he can talk some more about it. As I said before people should be glad that his ego is as big as it is because I know he wouldn't put out a poor album.
