Product Description GRADUATION is the 3rd installment in the Kanye West series of ground breaking albums, targeting every school kid, from those that have dropped out, to those late registrants, and to those who have gone on and completed school. West teams up with veterans Daft Punk and Edwin Birdson on "Stronger" (second single); as well as enlisted the help from current chart topper T-pain on "Good Life". Chris Martin of Coldplay appears on a track called "HomeComing" as well. Kanye has continued to prove his understanding and appreciation for a wide array of music and musical influences. What makes GRADUATION so special? Like most Kanye titles, his fearlessness and blindness to inhibiting boundaries, couple with his fan driven core competence is evidence that he knows exactly what people yearns for... great music, and a voice to be heard. desertcart.com Kanye West's third in a whimsical trilogy of "scholarly" albums, Graduation wears its predecessors' badges of success on its sleeve. Matriculation has its rewards, apparently, and it's time to take stock. Lyrically, there's plenty of self-congratulation to attend to, but the real fun comes in the collabs, and West chooses co-conspirators like a kid in a candy store--John Legend ("Good Life"), Coldplay's Chris Martin ("Homecoming"), Mos Def and the Section Quartet (both adorable choices for the foreboding "Drunk and Hot Girls")--and plucks samples with A-list braggadocio: Elton John, Steely Dan, Daft Punk, Can, Michael Jackson, Public Enemy. Nothing here quite captures the superlative symbiosis of West's past best beats (think "Gold Digger"), but the central motif remains: No one ever accused Kanye West of being too cool for school, and Graduation still knows how to party. True, Kanye West will happily whine about the pitfalls at the top of the heap, clear his throat and try to rhyme it with Barry Bonds, or diss fish in a barrel all day, but that can't stop a shameless good time, and Graduation maintains an unshakeable knack for producing it. --Jason Kirk Review: FLASHING.

Human Promise Vs. Human Fact
Kanye West is a genius. Not only does he flow with a barbed wit, he is able to take a variety of forms to add to his hip-hop, rap base. His latest C.D. `Graduation' picks up where `Late Registration' left off. His theme demonstrates the difference between our dreams and life's disappointing realities. Slicker than his last outing, Kanye's titles tell much of the story, but his lyrics nail the subject matter thoroughly. Even the artwork tells his audience volumes. Not as punchy as `Late Registration's "Sierra Leone" or "Gold Digger," he manages to get ethereal for the opener "Good Morning," "I Wonder," and "Flashing Lights" which add formidable rap to the traditional pop mix. His humor is in finest form on "Barry Bonds," with a stinging anti-glamour rap that goes off in several directions but ends up at a certain destination. There's resiliency added to the mix with "Stronger" which is only familiar for its cliché refrain: "That that don't kill me, can only make me stronger." In my opinion, "Champion," with its native rhythms and synthesizers is the most outstanding track. Between sweet sounds, perceptively sharp lyrics, Kanye has finished his trilogy on a good note. "Big Brother" is both a celebration and a protest against the trappings that put him on top. Even obtaining one's goals has its downside, too. As for the rest of us we have to hold onto our dreams and try to bridge the gap so aptly stated by one of the best and biggest wise guys recording today. GO KANYE!

the music is good as its always been but the case is the issue at hand. i understand that the case isnt as sturdy as regular jewelcases but the way mine was packaged in my opinion could be greatly improved. my case came squashed with dints at every corner.
