Kanye west graduation album lyrics12/28/2022 ![]() Near every song on here is a classic, and the track "I Wonder" starts with a warming, whimsical intro, with the touching, sentimental sample following on throughout the song - and adding a personal, emotive touch without delving into the kind of open mind/open heart content that characterises the latest chapter of Kanye's career. Tracks like "Champion" are as strong as any of the album tracks on previous albums, utilising an uplifting sample and motivational message, again giving the impression that this will be a fairly low key affair compared to some of his previous efforts - although subsequent track, monster single "Stronger" stomps that lingering thought out of existence, with the prominent Daft Punk sample serving to highlight Kanye's favourite person - himself - in a song that is equal parts dance floor classic and radio rap behemoth. He's also cut out the skits, which means in theory playing the album without skipping anything is actually an option now. ![]() The opener, admittedly, is not promising - the slow pace, simple beat and Kanye still moaning about the education system is not the best way to open an album of such quality - but don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge an album merely by it's opener, for the rest of the album proves to be Kanye's most consistent of them all - even typical braggadocio heavy cuts such as "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and, to a lesser extent, "Drunk and Hot Girls" outweighing their far more annoying counterparts on The College Dropout. ![]() With Graduation, the final part of what seems like a quasi trilogy of albums Kanye redeems the average awkward second album and produces an album that is in actual fact stronger than the much lauded College Dropout in some respects. Review Summary: Classic, interrupted - a dissapointing mid-trio of tracks hang ominously over an otherwise classic album.
