Graduation - Kanye West

Just incase you haven't heard, Kanye West and 50 Cent are trying to do something apparently good for 'hip hop' by releasing their albums on the same day and see who gets the largest sales. My general impression is that Kanye will come out on top, but 50 has put more than just his pride on the line by saying that if his album, 'Curtis', fails then he shall never bring out a solo album again. I'm sure he had his fingers crossed, just as Eminem did when he announced his retirement, but I'm sure the whole feud is great for record sales when you consider we live in an age of downloads. Now why would I think Kanye would do better than 50 Cent? Let me introduce you to ...  Read the complete review

Released: 10th September 2007 Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap Total Length: 51:23 Price: £7.99 - iTunes Shop Rating: 7/10 This is currently Kanye's latest album. The album artwork is particularly cool in my opinion. Vivid colours and tells a story. His last two albums were College Dropout and Late Registration. I have to say this one is my favourite so far, as it features some of my favourite songs, such as Homecoming and Stronger. The album cover features a Teddy Bear in a space suit being hurtled into space, which reflects Kanye's pushing himself to the maximum in his latest album. In it's first week of being released, the album sold a ...  Read the complete review

First of all can i just say that this is his best work ever. though it just beats The college Dropout. Now i will break this lyrical genius's album into 14 pieces . 1. Good Morning - Considering this is a intro is it a great song. It sets the scene for the album and talks about the results of a school slacker. Lyrically amazing. 9.0/10 2. Champion - This should be an anthem! has a good chorus and has a though remarks about the film Will Smith was in called The Pursuit of Happiness. Anthem. 8.5/10 3. Stronger - Now let me tell you, with out Daft Punk in this, the song would be ruined! a very unique track and if i could ...  Read the complete review

1. Good Morning - Comeback time for kanye and the first track that hits ur ears is not appropriate. The ludacrisly dull clav hits carry the full way across the song and its the most prodominint loop on the track. Its gets really corny though when the cheese driping woo ooh ohhz kick in at the chorus. Lyrics are all acheviable he has his really poor moments but the one off big word somebody else writes for him takes all ears of alot of the poor lyrics on the track. The second verse is the most cheesy with lines like "on this day we become legendary" trying to make it sound epic movie materia 3rd verse is the worst by far with ...  Read the complete review

Graduation" is the most anticipated release by Kanye West. It is the third studio album by the Roc-A-Fella artist and has so much pressure to succeed as it competes aganist the sales of 50 Cent's "Curtis" which released on the same day as this. The later artist also claims that if Kanye out-sells him, he will stop making albums. Kanye differs from many Hip Hop artists if today as his style is very different to everyone else, this isn't just in his music, but also his dress-sense. West can be seen sporting the glasses shown on the album cover on occassions as well as clothes which are worn to fit the body. He isn't too bothered bout having ice ...  Read the complete review
