Classic or Nah: Vol 1: Kanye - Graduation

[FakeOhMars]

In Ye's defense, he spazzed on Barry Bonds, Wayne was the one who half assed on the track

And if half a track is ass, that track is ass

 

[ChiGetTheMoney]

But what about drunk and hot girls (rape song)
&
Barry Bonds

I won't make any excuses for D&HG. However Flashing Lights more than makes up for it

Barry Bonds cold af also

 

[AP3.0]

i messed with D& H G lol

not at first, but once i finally gave it a listen, i thought it was dope

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

i dont get the hate for Graduation

i thought it had MAD replay value

dope beats, bars, content. The features were good, not great, but they fit the songs they were one

im good on this being a classic

C/S. I'm surprised at all the classic votes. I know for years on a few, forums Grad. was hated on, I like the album (don't think it's classic tho) and I even like the songs that usually get the most hate, Barry Bonds and Drunk and Hot Girls.

"i dont need writers, i might bounce ideas,
but only i could come up with some shit like this,
i done played the underdog my whole career,
I've been a very good sport, haven't I, this year
They say "he going crazy and we seen this before"
But I'm doing pretty good as far as geniuses go
And I'm doing pretty hood in my pink polo"

man Kanye was spitting on BB

[FakeOhMars]

[ChiGetTheMoney]

Nigga you stupid

Damn wrong thread lol

i dont count if a dude give you a bar or two to finish a verse, or even if ya'll in the concept phase of making the song

So you dont think CyHi didnt write bars for kanye?

 

[AP3.0]

So you dont think CyHi didnt write bars for kanye?

a bar is different from an entire song like people did for Dr. Dre

 

[ChiGetTheMoney]

Cyhi didn’t show up til after

That album all Conquence, Sean, Really Doe

Helping, not writing

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

And Rhymefest

Shit one of Ye's biggest songs was Rhymefest's

 

[Goldie]

Looks like Graduation's gonna be our first entry into the vault.

again, did Rhyme write the entire song? or give cadences and maybe a bar here and there

 

[Race Jones]

CLASSSIC.

I still play “I wonder”

 

[Race Jones]

this ablum was so revolutionary in my opnion

sonically impeccable

 

[BDP™️]

more replay than CD?

that album is damn near flawless...nah...it is flawless

it is permanently in my top 3 of ALL time

For me yes...

But im splitting hairs here tho bro...

I just prefer the sound and vibe of Graduation over CD

Yes you are correct tho

CD along with LR and Grad are flawless, full-blooded, indisputable classics imo
