Just when you thought you had absorbed every lesson _The Office_ has to offer, it turns out that Michael Scott still has more to teach us. Thanks to a video compiled by YouTube user [MrBroks00](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2lU86iyAJrsgb05tE46Eqg), it has become clear that Michael is the leading authority on Kanye’s music. The montage uses various clips from _The Office_‘s nine seasons to describe all seven of Ye’s albums, from _Late Registration_ to _My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy_ to _The Life of Pablo._ The hilarious video begins with the season four scene in which Michael attempts to hop a train to escape his debt, paralleling the themes of _College Dropout_. “What am I doing? I’m blowing dodge,” he says. “I’m getting out of town. Whatever you call it, I’m running away from my responsibilities. It feels good.” Watch the full video below.
