I won’t even go there, Max, but having just listened to Graduation, I’d be offended if I were LeBron. I hope to hell it grows on me.

It took a minute but after a while it really stuck with me. I love it. Even “Drunk and Hot Girls” when I’m in the right mood.

Miles/Max, Drunk and Hot Girls is worst thing Mos Def ever did. I had high hopes when I saw they had did another song together, then I listened to it and was let down like I was listening to Cuuuurrrrttttiiiissss.

Yeah I felt the same way, but when you’re actually drunk it sounds alot better.

If you dont like the Graduation, you either dont have good taste or arent a hip hop fan. I guess yall prefer that Soldier Boy, Superman bullsh!t.

sorry, but both college dropout and late registration are classics. can you honestly say graduation is on that level? i cant. the album is alright. but it has no replay value, therefore i cant say i like it. and no i dont prefer solider boy. i prefer soulful kanye

I really like the Graduation album and I don’t even buy many rap cd’s because they usually talk about the same garbage (women, clothes, ice, etc.) But this album has songs with good messages. I love the song WONDER. Can anyone tell me were to find a picture on the net of Kanye sitting on the bench during a basketball game. I thnik it was on the inside cover of his first album. Is that correct? Please help.

Im not ready to say Graduation is better than College Dropout. But Graduation is way better than Late Registration. Registration only had like 4 good songs, 2 ok songs, and the rest I always skip. Graduation only has two songs that I keep skipping,The Glory and Bittersweet. Every other song I’ve listened to and like. Even those two might grow on me if I listen enough.

Drunk and Hot girls is a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to admit it but I have had similar experiences to “drunk and hot girls”. That’s why I like his music. He can teach you a lesson of what not to do by describing how himself or whoever he knows did the exact thing.

ive skipped more songs on graduation than both of his last albums combined, but i still love it. my trio of common and kanye and talib with a sprinkle of lupe has G.O.O.D. music all over my mp3 player.
