YG & Kanye West Find Their Dreams on the Graduation Album
Kanye’s album “The Graduation” is nutz……. I can (for me personally) say hands down that this is the best album I’ve heard since graduating from college (2002)… (excluding “Love Below”). Kanye has accomplished a lot on many different levels… In terms of body of work, I believe this is a fantastic album. Kanye raises the bar & incorporates various of genres of music sonically into the production (Shout Out Jon Brion) without hurting the integrity of the music. He has created an album which encompasses an amalgam of music that feeds the soul & nourishes the mind.
Those of you who know me (10+) are cognizant of the fact that its a big thing for me 2 admit 2 saying I love something musically(not just a song…… a whole LP) I love this album! I’ve been acquainted with music (industry) for 10 yrs, and have heard my fair share of good & bad music. I can say a this album is going to change a lot of people’s lives… Especially young people who have been feed this fast food hip hop music for the past couple of years.
What Kanye has done is capture the essence and purpose of music which is to inspire…. When U look at where word music is derived from…… music comes from the Greek word mousa which means muse = inspiration. It’s beautiful 2 see an artist take the time 2 carefully craft an LP that will effect the psyche and lives of millions of people.Especially when u take into account we have a generation of youth who were not able 2 fully benifit from the golden age of Hip Hop…..
People will be quick 2 compare this album 2 others (50 cent)…. Which I will also give a fair listen 2…. But just judging from what I’ve heard (from Curtis)Â I won’t even do the disservice of comparing. The value they engender cannot even be compared. The Graduation is truly a moving and inspirational body of work…..Though Kanye’s album its left of center it’s just want we need….. Now the album is not perfect, but its just right. I know that all of the college kids who are starting back up will be dissecting this album like a lab rat….lol… 🙂
My advice 2 them is just listen 2 the album…. enjoy it … and let it inspire U 2 Find Your Dreams….. -!YG
