Sep 4, 2017 the most beautiful album he has. general summary- CD: first LR: great sequel G: *blank* 808s: lost his mom, relationship issues, emotional album MBDTF: "greatest rap album of all time" major bounce back. Yeezus: experimental TLOP: nice ANYWAYS my point is why isn't this art work apperciated or brought up. Is it meh to you guys? Too short?This man, Kanye Amari West, literally in front of the world, GRADUATED from music my g. This man EARNED his PhD in musicology from this album.. and not a word is said. YOU DEADASS TELLING ME, you never shed a tear to I Wonder, while thinking about your life goals and ambitions... OR Champion, feeling like you're on top of the world and untouchable.. I want explainations
Sep 6, 2017 I think "Barry Bonds" is dope, but doesn't capture the theme of the album sonically. I'd replace "D&HG" with "Bittersweet Poetry" & "Big Brother" with "Good Night".
Sep 6, 2017 I felt big brother should of been a CD or LR track. Barry bonds & D&HG overhated lmao. There not the BEST but definitely not awful
Sep 6, 2017 Graduation was my first Ye album, so I hold a certain degree of nostalgia to it. Homecoming stay the best travelling song imo Everything I Am is f---ing glorious as well, love the self-awareness
Sep 6, 2017 Likewise with mine. Knew every song, flashing lights/good life on every car trip back in 07/08. Love it so much crazy how it's overlooked
Sep 7, 2017 the reason is because graduation is in the middle of his career. its not the early strong debut he dropped. nor is it the hot new album. nor is it mbdtf levels of classic. but it was a critical moment. kanye was able to translate his classic rap success into mainstream pop success, without skimping out on quality ideas, lyrics or sounds.
Sep 14, 2017 NY rappers be salty because people didn't want to hear Cam rap on tired beats about private jets that he never actually had.
