So Diamonds are Forever remix just came on the radio and as I'm listening to it, I start rapping "On that Diamonds remix, I swore I spazzed then my big brother came thru and kicked my ***." Then I get the urge to play Graduation.

This album is simply amazing.
Good Morning: crazy intro :smokin

Champion is dope. I just caught that double entendre about dropping gems/gyms. How could I miss that line? :lol: :pimp:

Stronger is a smash. The extras added to the beat towards the end of the song :pimp:
I Wonder classic.
Good Life classic.
Can't Tell me Nothing classic.

I kno some people don't really **** wit Barry Bonds & Drunk n Hot Girls but those songs are cool to me.
Flashing Lights :smokin
Everything I Am classic **** :pimp:

The Glory omg :x :smokin "On nights when Ye romance, cameras flash so much that I gotta do that Yayo dance" classic line :pimp:
Homecoming :pimp:
Big Brother dope way to end an album. Toomp killed that **** :pimp:

Production, lyrics, concepts. This album is A1 :pimp:
 
Graduation was always eh to me. Not a ton of songs on there I really like, and contains the non 808s song that I dont like the most: Good Life.

There are some good songs on there though
 
Probably my favorite Kanye album....soundtrack to my first year of freedom away from my parents :pimp:

This, all of this.

Flashing Lights may very well be my favorite beat, ever.

Everything I Am is too real, then you transition to The Glory.


Maaaan
 
Album will always have a place in my heart. Was in a transitional period in life and it helped somewhat.
 
Album is very much appreciated.

I really don't even know how to rank CD, LR, Graduation, and MBTDF.
 
Very good album but CD, LR, and MBDTF are clearly better imo.

Can't Tell Me Nothing though is a top 5 Kanye track, can't get enough of that song.
 
great album... good morning, i wonder, flashing lights, can't tell me nothing, & homecoming are all go-to kanye tracks for me.

the cover is also one of my favorite album covers of all time :smokin
 
Still remember when I found out homecoming was about chicago how mind blown I was. It went from my favorite song on the album to one of my favorite songs ever :lol:
 
Graduation will always be my favorite Ye album. **** was the soundtrack to my life when I began to find myself.
 
Graduation appreciation thread in disguise :smokin. Like many, my favorite Ye album followed by 808s and heartbreak
 
His last good album

Everything I Am, VERY UNDERRATED :pimp:

I remember how hyped the music section was after Stronger got leaked :lol:

I still see people rocking shutter shades
 
Original Home >>>>> Homecoming

But yeah this album will always remind me of freshman year, driving 6 hours on a suspended license to Cabazon to get Foams for $59. I had just gotten the leak, so that gave me a chance to run through it a few times. There's no bad songs on here, but the album lacked substance.
