I agree that there's been a trend where it's become incumbent to include certain albums very high up on any end of year list in spite of knowledge of probably more deserving ones. Graduation is one of those albums - it is, however, still imo one of the better albums of 2007 (if not quite top 20 material) simply because the mixes are as good as they are. Kanye's a horrid lyricist, tho.

i think how crappy commerical rap has been lately is whats making graduation look so original.

When anybody uses a different technique then recycling the same line over and over again they say its magnificent.

If it wasn't for all this "ringtone rap" being spoon-fed to everybody nobody would give as much credit to kanye as they have been.

I wouldn't even say it's top 100 material, mixes alone really aren't enough to warrant that.
