Can't Tell Me Nothing

In this bonus episode of Did The Beat Go Off, I explore Can't Tell Me Nothing, a promotional mixtape released by Kanye on May 27, 2007 in anticipation of Graduation. Can't Tell Me Nothing is definitely a vibe and a good listen and would pave the way for other, more professional mixtapes Kanye would later drop. Don't forget to share and follow me for episode updates. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!

808s & Heartbreak

Single ladies make some noise! Just kidding. Unless? In this episode, I'm talking about 808s & Heartbreak, Kanye's attempt to create a breakup album. Regarded as one of Kanye's worst albums, I explore just how bad it actually is and why I still listen to it when I'm in my feelings. Don't forget to share and follow me for episode updates. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!

Graduation

Welcome to Graduation! In this episode, I explore the last album in Kanye's The College Dropout trilogy and his third studio album, Graduation, and I'll tell you why I think this is one of 2000's hip hop's most important albums.

Late Registration

In this episode, I explore Kanye's second album, Late Registration, and highlight all the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. This is the album that brought us the hit "Gold Digger," but is it really that good, or are we all just misremembering it? I know I have a couple of hot takes here and there, but bear with me.

The College Dropout

In this episode, I explore Kanye's debut studio album: The College Dropout. This album has been heralded for ushering in a new age of rap and hip hop– but is actually just overrated? I ask this question and more on this episode of Did the Beat Go Off? Don't forget to rate, share, and follow me on Instagram @abbinotabigail. Thanks for listening, and enjoy! P.S. I accidentally curse when I say a line from the song "School Spirit." In reality, it's technically a clean song, so feel free to play it in front of your mama.

Get Well Soon...

Welcome to the first episode of season one of Did The Beat Go Off? In this season, I'm exploring everything Kanye West, so I tell you about his early life and music, and I start at the very beginning: Kanye's little-known mixtape Get Well Soon, released in December 2002. This one's kind of a doozy, so buckle in and enjoy the ride. Don't forget to rate, share, and follow me on Instagram @abbinotabigail. Thanks for listening!
