Kanye's hard work is evident on Graduation. He came close to topping his classic College Dropout with this album and definitely outdid Late Registration. The production on the album is superb, with samples from Daft Punk, features from T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Mos Def. The only knock on this album is that his production value is so great, sometimes his lyrics can't keep up. Classic album! A must-buy!
What's great about it: Outstanding Production
What's not so great: Sometimes Kanye's Lyrics don't keep up with his great production
There's a reason this album went DIAMOND. From the first track to the last, Usher Raymond brings heat. When you're playing this album, you shouldn't have any fear of hitting that 'shuffle' button; you know a good song will be played. 'Yeah!' was a monster hit. Usher was the first artist since the Beatles and Elvis, to have 3 singles in the Top 10 Billboard charts at the same time! That says something! This is a must-have in any R&B collection...
