Product Description

From Amazon.com

Kanye West's third in a whimsical trilogy of "scholarly" albums, Graduation wears its predecessors' badges of success on its sleeve. Matriculation has its rewards, apparently, and it's time to take stock. Lyrically, there's plenty of self-congratulation to attend to, but the real fun comes in the collabs, and West chooses co-conspirators like a kid in a candy store--John Legend ("Good Life"), Coldplay's Chris Martin ("Homecoming"), Mos Def and the Section Quartet (both adorable choices for the foreboding "Drunk and Hot Girls")--and plucks samples with A-list braggadocio: Elton John, Steely Dan, Daft Punk, Can, Michael Jackson, Public Enemy. Nothing here quite captures the superlative symbiosis of West's past best beats (think "Gold Digger"), but the central motif remains: No one ever accused Kanye West of being too cool for school, and Graduation still knows how to party. True, Kanye West will happily whine about the pitfalls at the top of the heap, clear his throat and try to rhyme it with Barry Bonds, or diss fish in a barrel all day, but that can't stop a shameless good time, and Graduation maintains an unshakeable knack for producing it. --Jason Kirk


Album Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than 50, Jun 27 2008
By Nick "Rap'Pen" (GL, ONT CA) - See all my reviews
Kanye droped the bomb on this one. He used his terrific verbal skills to lay down fantastic lyrics and had some amazing beats. Some of the hard to pick favorites are "Flashing Lights", "I Wonder", "Good Life" & "Everything Iam" (Gotta love the premo turntable scratchings!). Overall this album is grand and was one of my favorite buys. Legendary album for sure. Everyone forgot all about 50, but who cares his time in the spotlot was long gone. Cop this album kids! You wont regret it and you will talk about "yo I have this legendary kanyeezy album, wanna pop it in" when your older. He's the new generation of hip-hop. Everyones gotta have this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars new kanye, Jan 18 2008
By T. Bigney (Nova Scotia, canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Though it doesn't quite match College Dropout or Late Registration in pleasure-center overload, Kanye West's third album is both his most consistent and most enterprising yet, indicating that he might actually deserve the legendary status he constantly ascribes himself. Where his past records have mostly functioned as contagious nostaglia trips, Graduation finds him expanding his palette, merging his familiar vinyl-crackle soul samples with European sound sources ranging from Can to Daft Punk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Sure of what I think, But Sure that it's Overrated, Oct 31 2007
By R. Gebert "GeeB" (Vancouver Island, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a little torn, there are only 4 tracks I like which would make it a bad album. But those 4 songs are SO GOOD that I want to call it a really good album...
I'll give it a safe 3 stars, for the price its still good for 4 good songs :P [Not safe is calling it one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time like some people seem to be doing :@ Give 2001 by Dre a spin then try and tell me this is better ;)]
BTW they are Stronger, The Good Life, I Wonder, and Good Morning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graduation is no match for Curtis from 50 Cent.
Kanye West moved his album forward to cost 50 Cent his third #1 album on the Billboard 200 albums. Stronger may have topped the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart- but it doesn't... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It's hard to resisist : Kanye is way ahead of the pack.
Even if you're hopelessly alienated from American rap and hip-hop, Kanye West is extremely hard to resist if there is a musical bone in your body. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A more mature and solid effort.
Kanye West is thoughtful ("Everything I'm not, made me everything I am," he explains on "Everything I Am") and has a voice like honey and a breathtakingly broad musical palette... Read more
