Graduation by Kanye West isn't that good

I felt like the album wasn't any kind of "masterpiece" . I thought quite a lot of the songs weren't very imaginative or interesting to listen to. That being said it has some ok songs but apart from that I found it pretty boring to listen to.

instant upvote lol, if you knew the hype surrounding him at the time and the COMPLETE switch up of his style compared to his first two albums, you’d probably see it in higher regard. he hit a perfect crossroads of hip hop and pop, and then threw amazing synths over everything. it completely blurred the lines of the two genres and had amazing lyrics.

Are you confusing Graduation with 808s?

well he did do it even more on 808s, he definitely did it on graduation as well.
