Default 09/19/07 - Graduation un-biased review

09/19/07 - Graduation un-biased review

Did one on 50 cent curtis, bought Graduation the other day cos Cant tell me nothing, Stronger and Good life are all hot. I aint a huge Kanye fan i got his first album basically cos i heared through the wire and had to get it, anyway here goes.

Good morning
I find the beat annoying its not a great opener really.

Champion
I like this one has a good sample, very catchy chorus hard not to bop to it. Kanye's verses are hot nice flow.

Stronger
We've all heared it, its hot imo, not for everyone though.

I wonder
The sample on this is on some serious gay shit, and the sample bit at the start goes on too long without kanye saying anything i was just confused of what was happening. Beat is hot, Kanye goes raw on the verses.

Good life
Crazy beat that jumps out at you from the start, T-Pain comes in well, Kanye's verses are alright nothing special but the track is full of energy which makes up, nice shout out to 50.

Cant tell me nothing
Hard shit thats all i gotta say. Jeezy comes in nicely in the background.

Barry bonds
Song is terrible, beat is suppose to be something to ride to i guess, I wasent a wayne fan coming into this and im still not, hes a good lyricist but his voice is mad annoying. Pointless song imo.

Drunk and hot girls
This song reminds me of D12 world for some reason. Song title prepares you for a wild club banger but the song is kinda depressing. Beat is awfull, Kanye's voice is whiney on this one, 5:13 of shit.

Flashing lights
On some tracks by gangsta rappers some people say "this aint hot its all the same" well this song for some reason sounds like the same old shit kanye does. It aint a bad song really just nothing stands out.

Everything i am
Sounds similar to something hes done before again, songs alright though, slow layed back beat, Rider music.

The glory
Song is crazy, beat is fire, the sample on this for some reason is so catchy reminds me of some old school jackson 5 shit, Kanye's flow is nice, Kanye Takes em back to church.

Homecoming
Chorus on this sounds like red hot chilli peppers, anyway song is average basically about chi town, nothing more to it, a album filler.

Big brother
I dont know wether i just got a fucked up copy but this track says 9:47 but it end at about 4:50 then just nothing for 4 minutes. The song itself is hot, catchy chorus, kanye spits some fire, basically a tribute to Jigga.

Good night
I dont understand...... it sound like the song you hear at the end of a small kids show where there all waving goodbye and a guy with a soft voice is singing lol, its kinda catchy when you listen on, hell i like it.

Overall album is good, i prefer Curtis personally but from recent sales charts some people obviously dont agree, Album highlightes: Champion, Stronger, Good life, cant tell me nothing and the glory. If you like Kanyes old shit then you'll like this also if your a casual rap fan then you might like it, if not cop Curtis.

One thing this album proves is Kanye can do anything on a track and still come out with huge sales and not much critisism, like i know a few people have said his style is gay and shit, but if the guy can put good night and i wonder on his album and not get many people dissing him hes gotta be repected. I can imagine what people would say if 50 did this lol.

50 cant do songs like that and i dont know why hes tryin 2 do soft songs when he came out sayin hes nuts n shit how he got shot 9times. kanye never said he was hard or anything and you wonder why ppl respect him and aren't dissing him about songs like that

i agree with you on most of your review besides drunk and hot girls which iunno why but i think its dope no1 else

Haitian pharao not very known on the site
Default Y'all didn't ?!

Diss kanye? What for? For What interest? Kanye n 50 ain't in da same category. There is a soundscan battle between dem but not an album quality comparison. 50 adopted da G style(gangsta music), kanye wit his non-threatning-white music-sounds like style. Why would people diss kanye? Nigga ain't even got big cash, why would niggas hate on him? Anyway, do not trynna compare a developped-nation-star to a universaly known megastar. They love 50 more than clef in my country.
