Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

When <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> was just a kid from Chicago, he already knew he wanted to be the biggest name in the rap industry one day. Even Jay-Z recognized his potential when he heard West’s debut album called &#8216;The College Dropout&#8217; which would go on to revolutionize hip-hop. By taking the now 46-year-old under his wing, the Roc-A-Fella Records owner released ‘The College Dropout’ under his label. While ‘The Blueprint’ singer’s stamp of approval meant a lot, the album’s unconventional themes were enough to blow rap enthusiasts’ minds.
The album&#8217;s soulful beats and societal commentary paired with West&#8217;s raw vulnerability struck a chord in audiences. Now, decades since its release, the album has not only won numerous awards and inspired a video game but also still tops the charts. 
<h2>The College Dropout is back on this list</h2>
After setting the stage for Ye’s groundbreaking contributions to the music industry, &#8216;The College Dropout&#8217; has resurfaced yet again. In 2004, the album climbed to the second spot on the Billboard Hot 200 chart within weeks. Whereas today, it stands at the second to last spot at 199 on the same chart. This is still a rather impressive feat considering it is still going strong 19 years since its launch.

Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many.
