Best song on this album and why? For me it’s homecoming. Incredible production, chris martin has such a beautiful chorus. And the metaphor between a relationship with a girl and chicago is genius.

Graduation was actually the first album I ever listened to from start to finish when I was 12. I had just gotten into hip hop a year earlier beginning of middle school and I was already starting to notice almost all of the mainstream rappers talked about the same stuff and wanted to hear someone more unique with substance. Saw the premiere of Can't Tell Me Nothing music video on 106 and Park a couple months before the album released. Never seen Kanye before then but I immediately knew he was different than any artist I had ever heard. Tbh Graduation is one of my least favorite albums of his now but it's what started my fandom of my favorite artist of all time.

This album speaks for itself, but I feel context really pulls it all together. At this time 50 cent and “gangster rap” was super hot. This album transcends what popular hip hop/rap was at the time and and takes it to stadium status. It’s also him taking another step in his career and pushing his stardom to another level and moving on from the city of Chicago for bigger opportunities. So he’s graduating from Chicago and he’s graduating hip hop as we knew it at the time and taking it to the next level. So you dad isn’t wrong in his analysis of the album’s difference, but it’s the intention of taking hip hop to another stratosphere of popularity. His albums going forward will continue pushing this trend of changing what hip hop can be and blazing the trail for artists to come. That’s why he’s still relevant today.

YES I remember I had heard the discourse around Graduation before I heard it all the way through for the first time and it took me such a long time to warm up to either of them because of how firm the consensus was. I think neither of them are particularly bad songs and I seldom get to hear appreciation for either of them. I think having opinions like this be shared helps legitimate differences in opinion which is a big part of what makes music (and art generally) cool

I had to wait till the album came out and after a few listens it became such a classic for me, But my initial reaction was hesitant to his change in style. I was such a a fan of college dropout and late reg. So your dads reaction is in line with a true Kanye fan. Love it. Also love that he’s not pressured into feeling like he HAS to say good things about it, makes the videos more genuine.

Graduation was an absolute milestone in Hip Hop because Kanye's production had mastered sampling like never before. The modern fusion of Hip Hop with other genres largely relies on sampling and this album really paved the way on how to do that well. Still, because Flashing Lights was really mid and because Drunk And Hot Girls was such a complete dud, I'd still give Lupe Fiasco's Food&Liquor the nod as best (mainstream) Hip Hop album of the 2000s.
