This is actually the first list I have seen that has Graduation properly assessed on the low end of Kanye's musical output, in my opinion. The good fellas at Complex always name it as Yeezy's magnum opus and so do most artists who comment about the Louis Vuitton Don's discography, most recently ASAP Rocky. Never understood the admiration of it. I believe Mr. West accomplished his goal with that album but I don't think his goal was to make the best music he could as much as it was to make the BIGGEST music he could and it shows. MBTDF succeeds as the album where he accomplishes both, and to me, is only behind Illmatic when it comes to greatest hip-hop albums ever.
^yes, I tried real hard not to refer to 'Ye in the same way twice. and I did it. I fucking did it.
