Kanye West's 'Graduation': 10 Things You Didn't Know

Also on this day 10 years ago:

 

[Bronx-Man]

Crazy how it's been 10 years since Ye cemented his legacy as the most influential artist of the 21st century

 

[LionPride]

His worst album but still good

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Not his best, but Homecoming is a jam and Everything I Am is really nice.

 

[Glazed]

certified classic

 

[robotrock]

weird how jay z and kanye and 50 cent release albums on 9/11.

 

[LionPride]

The version of Homecoming in the album is the shitty version funny enough

the one with Legend? Whew

 

[number11]

There's a ton of hits on that album, but I still consider it his worst overall.

Well it's between Graduation and Pablo.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

It's not the most consistent album, but some of my favourite Kanye tracks are on there. It also came along soon after I finished school, so I've got fond memories of it linked to that time.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

FLASHING... LIIIIGHTS

Ye's worst album. Out.

 

[NotLiquid]

Big Brother was beautiful

Shame about Jay and Ye tho

 

[entremet]

Fun album. Memories.

 

[Manzanas]

My least favorite of his albums.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Really wish he would have used the older version of Homecoming with John Legend.

 

[Glazed]

how long before people realize this album is better than the college dropout

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Did you realize, that you were a Champion in their eyes?

 

[Kusagari]

Easily his worst album.

 

[BlackGhost]

Always alittle surprised by the hate graduation gets

 

[LionPride]

how long before people realize this album is better than the college dropout

again

 

[Bronx-Man]

how long before people realize this album is better than the college dropout

Stop

 

[Glazed]

again

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

how long before people realize this album is better than the college dropout

Idk about College Dropout but to me it's better than Late Registration.

 

[HiiiLife]

Not even Kanyes top 3. Actually towards the bottom.

But still a solid album, and has two of his best songs in his entire discography (can't tell me nothing / bittersweet).

 

[Glazed]

Idk about College Dropout but to me it's better than Late Registration.

this too bold and blasphemous for me, but i respect it

LR is top 3 ye

Stop

stronger, flashing lights > CD

 

[Yazzees]

Always alittle surprised by the hate graduation gets

Same, it's the album that got me into his music

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

this too bold and blasphemous for me, but i respect it

LR is top 3 ye

"Heard 'Em Say", "Roses", "Addiction", "Drive Slow", and "We Major" are the only songs on that album I liked. Everything else is just filler.

 

[MindofKB]

Take off "Drunk & Hot Girls" and add "Good Night" to the end of the album and WHEEEEEEEEEW!

 

[hughesta]

This album is better than TCD but not by much. Still a hugely important and influential album.

 

[Brinbe]

Lots of great highs and lows. In the Kanye pantheon, it ranks near the bottom. But that's because his good stuff is near flawless.

Can't tell me nothing is top 5 though. Classic tune.

And the Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape still bangs to this day.

 

[Servbot24]

Cut Barry Bonds and D&HG and this album gets about 20x better

 

[Catvoca]

When it feel like living's harder than dyin'
For me givin' up's way harder than tryin'
Lauryn Hill said her heart was in Zion
I wish her heart still was in rhymin'
'Cause who the kids gon' listen to, huh?
I guess me if it isn't you
Last week I paid a visit to the institute
They got the dropout keepin' kids in the school
I guess I cleaned up my act like Prince'd do
If not for pleasure, then at least for the principle
They got the CD, they got to see me
Drop gems like I dropped out of PE
They used to feel invisible
Now they know they invincible

Far from my favourite Kanye album but it's still got a bunch of great tracks.

I wish Kanye's heart still was in rhymin' like that

 

[Bounceounce]

His worst album but it's quality.
It's also the album that lead to his mastery of stadium rap, so we can thank Graduation for that evolution.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Such a fun album, love it.

 

[kingocfs]

This album takes me back to college more than any other record. It was playing everywhere.

Good times.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I Wonder is the song that you forget exists, put it on, and replay immediately because it just sounds incredible.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Drunk and Hot Girls is probably the worst song he ever put out. So bad. Barry Bonds is mediocre. Overall a good album though. Yeezus is his worst though.

 

[Ladekabel]

The Good Life is ma jam!

 

[Servbot24]

Drunk and Hot Girls is probably the worst song he ever put out. So bad. Barry Bonds is mediocre. Overall a goo album though. Yeezus is his worst though.

Yeezus is his best.

Pablo is the worst but is still good.

 

[bitbydeath]

how long before people realize this album is better than the college dropout

College Dropout is Kanyes worst album.

 

[Stabby McSter]

can't tell me nothing top 3 ye track

maybe best song

 

[Master Of Illusion]

This is his one album (aside from Pablo) I could never get into for some reason.

College Dropout is Kanyes worst album.

If there were ever such a thing as a wrong opinion...

 

[Falchion]

Flashing Lights is still one of my favorite Kanye tracks.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Cut Barry Bonds and D&HG and this album gets about 20x better

I actually like D&HG, can see why people would think it's lame tho

College Dropout is Kanyes worst album.

I was like you once, then I listened to Spaceship again and I saw the light.

Honestly in my head Graduation may be the worst, and it's still damn good.

 

[darkwing-buck]

My first Kanye album, Flashing Lights and Homecoming is still my shit.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Whack album with a couple of standout tracks.

 

[collige]

His second best after Yeezus imo. Everything I Am and The Glory are both criminally underrated tracks.

 

[Catvoca]

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven
When I awoke I spent that on a necklace

Easily the best opening lines to a song by Ye.

 

[cordy]

Definitely my favorite and most listened to Ye album. This album dropped when I finally had a job, hungout all the time with the homies, it was THE album for that time. Love it.

 

[Gorillaz]

lmao that whole 50 Ye 'beef' was hilarious

This was pretty much the album to put him up there after CD did the heavy lifting. Other then that Graduation was alright I guess. Not as special.
