Manchild Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I really do want to check this record out. Guy has a knack for being personable and coming out of left field. Just style falling out of his pockets basically. Apollo, get at me sometime, man. peace, Manchild gregowens@comcast.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho production on those previous albums really inspire me to make beats... www.myspace.com/illmedix But without a doubt it is a good album and the artwork and concept for the casing for "Graduation" is classic! Man i like don't won't to get any smudges on it...lol... For the artsy fartsy type of person that is a great addition... Here is a link with the news that Kanye is winning...: [url="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070912/music_nm/kanyewest_dc"]http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070912/music_nm/kanyewest_dc[/url] Edited September 13, 2007 by the Apologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inDEED Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The album's HOT... But... I can't stand this whiney, crying, selfish, arrogant, pain in the ***, primamadonna emcee/producer. Did you see/hear his tirade when he didn't win a VMA? I'm so sick of this guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahB Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I can't stand the way he acts. His ego, is without a doubt, too large for his own good. He's talented, but he's not as great as he thinks he is. It's probably what keeps me from buying his albums. I love his music, but I can't stand him.

dUSt Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Okay, I broke down and bought it (the kid friendly Wal-Mart edited version of course!). Is Kanye the only one in the mainstream doing [b]original[/b] hip-hop anymore? Even Outkast's latest couple projects were poo--and I NEVER thought I'd say that.
