In response to a request to sing a song for the kids in The College Dropout’s “Intro,” Kanye gets the kids to sing a song to celebrate dealing drugs out of desperation. In fact, according to Complex, West originally titled the song “Drug Dealing.”
This serves as a great opener for the album’s theme of “not caring” about societal norms on things such as education, drug dealing, music, etc.
Don’t let society tell you, ‘This is what you have to do.’
