Summary: Graduation is the Best Kanye West album.
Comment: Go out and buy this album and make it a classic. Please don't ever write mean reviews about this album. I really love this album. My favorite tracks off the album is Good Life,Stronger,Flashing Lights,Can't Tell Me Nothing,and Homecoming. Go out and buy this album instead downloading it.

Summary: The best music is stored in this CD
Comment: Great music. Everything is original, except for the fact he sampled some other music. But honestly, I think KW is the only one that can get away with mixing up samples with his own beats.

Summary: Um...
Comment: So apparently, Techno is now Hip-Hop? 10 years ago, he would have been laughed at by Hip Hop fans. But since today's hip-hop fans are a completely different generation who have no regard for what hip-hop actually is, he's put on pedestal instead.
This guy is so full of himself after his initial album's success, that he barely raps on this album. He's just letting his image do the talking.
So this apparently the situation...the guy is no good when it comes to making music. BUT wait, HE HAS A LOUIS VUITTON BELT! OMG, LOOK AT HIS JORDANS! WOW! HE'S ALL INTO THAT JAPANESE FASHION! WOW! Let's just overlook his lack of musical talent and judge him by his shutter shades and played out sneakers. Aight, thats fine.
If you think Kanye is a genius, chances are you're one of those kiddies who used to be all 'gangsta' and are now out pretending to skateboard and trying to be "into fashion". Just give it up.

Summary: As good as Late Registration
Comment: Having the benefit of 4 songs being released as singles before I purchased the album, I knew this was a good purchase. As with Late Registration, a couple of songs on the album that have failed to grow on me but enough out of the others to recommend
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Best of The West
Comment: After experiencing disappointment with Kanye's previous effort of Late Registration, I had little to no expectations for this album. Of course, The College Dropout was an instant classic when released, but this album tops it. While Late Registration was spotty with the great and the outright bad, this album is a gem from start to finish. It's one of the few albums I can play all the way through without wanting to skip songs. The standouts (five out of five stars) of the album are "Good Morning", "Stronger", "Good Life", "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Flashing Lights". The rest are no less than four to four and a half stars. I think Kanye has finally found his style and groove and I can't wait for his next album.
If you enjoy hip hop, rap, Kanye, you probably already own this album. If not, get it!

Editorial Reviews:

Graduation is the 3rd installment in the Kanye West series of ground breaking albums, targeting every school kid, from those that have dropped out (Debut Album, College Dropout), to those late registrants (sophmore album Late Registration), to those that have gone on and completed school (current album Graduation). Though technically this earmarks a junior year, West's approach to crafting this album was very much senior. Kanye teams up with veterans Daft Punk and Edwin Birdsong on "Stronger"- Graduation's forthcoming single; as well as enlisting a little help from current chart topper T-Pain on "Good Life". Chris Martin of Coldplay appears on a track called "HomeComing" as well. Kanye has continued to prove his understanding and appreciation for a wide array of music and musical influences. What makes GRADUATION so special? Like most Kanye titles, his fearlessness and blindness to inhibiting boundaries, coupled with his fan driven core competence is evidence that he knows exactly what people yearn for...great music, perspective, and a voice to be heard.
