Special edition double vinyl LP. The week this debut album came out Kanye s name was all over the Top 20s for his hit singles Through the Wire Jesus Walks All Falls Down and Slow Jamz. What s even more remarkable is that this breakthrough came during his recovery from a car wreck that nearly took his life-the song Through the Wire is about the accident and was recorded two weeks after he was in the hospital with his jaw still wired shut. He s hailed the event as both the worst thing that could ve happened to him and the best. The record sold 441 000 copies in it s very first week and has been named both by Time and Rolling Stone as one of the greatest albums of all time. Guest appearances here include Jay-Z John Legend Ervin EP Pope Miri Ben-Ari Syleena Johnson and Jamie Foxx.
