    Weighed and measured, Graduation is easily the best rap album this year.
  2. Stylus Magazine
    91
    Musically, at least, it's the most accomplished thing he's ever done.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    Despite its five or six great tracks, Graduation feels more and more like the work of a follower, not a leader.

    By far one of Kanye's best albums. And definetely one of my favourites too.

    Better than 50 Cent, sure, but the album is still thoroughly mediocre. Ironically, the best songs come from DJ Toomp's production; his epic hooks fit especially well with Kanye's slow, enunciated flow. Get "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Big Brother", skip the rest.… Expand

    A pile of S&*t. I regard Kanye West as one of the contributers to the decline of the music industry.
