    When Graduation dropped everything was so dope in hip-hop. You had Wayne on every mixtape. You had 50 and Jay-z still dropping massive label projects. Common, Nas, Lupe and Mos Def still dropping for the soul. Gucci Mane, TI and Jeezy too. So much range and style. Even in fashion.

    DJ Toomp, who is T.I. & Jay Z, Jeezy and Kanye’s former collaborator and producer, is the unsung hero behind Good Life, and Graduation as a whole (namely Can’t Tell Me Nothin’, Big Brother) owe a lot to Toomp’s sonic. Atlanta by 2006 was becoming the Mecca of Hip-Hop, and the biggest rap single of the year- Toomp and T.I.’s “What you Know”. Then of course he produced for Jeezy on his second album and would go on to be credited producer on both Jay Z’s American Gangster and Kanye’s Graduation. This is a man who was no stranger to Southern hip-hop, having produced since the mid 80’s.

    • @apoclypse
      @apoclypse 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      Toomp is underrated. I don't think he's worked with Kanye again. He said in an interview he wasn't a fan of the way Kanye currently works with all these producers working on one song. However, Good Life, Stronger etc, showed that maybe that's where Kanye started to get the idea that working with multiple high level producers was his path forward. There were multiple people working on Graduation and Kanye was reaching out to everybody.

The only time it hurt someone was Ja Rule but that dude still made bank and fell off because he had worse production...just like Drake recently. Kendrick had a far better beat.

    At the time I liked Kanye cause at the time he did set an example that Rap didn’t have to be so Thugcentric. That look was getting played and kitch by 2006 and Kanye was truly shifting the taste and aesthetic in Rap Culture at that time. I was also waking to other genres of music at that point myself, like indie artists so he really came in when rap needed him I felt.

    Being creative and not being scared on taking risks making hit records that also have that classic feel to them and on top of that..having a real message is what makes kanye west a genius. Not many artist in music history have 10 classic albums 7 of his own and 3 as a producer for the rappers albums below..
    Jay z - the blueprint
    Common - Be
    Pusha T - Daytona
    kanye has 84 platinum songs out of 184 songs
    75 Grammy nominations.. the 4th most ever kanye won 24 Grammy's in total.
    Classics 🎖
    Mainstream success 🎖
    Critically acclaimed 🎖
    All huge achievements it's super rare and kanye has influenced pretty much everyone we listen to. You can hate the man but you can't deny his one of a kind legendary career.

    I was around 19 years old when those albums dropped. It solidified Kanye as next up and we pretty much didn't want to hear from 50 anymore after that. Curtis just sounded dated and the elements of graduation sounded new and refreshing. 2007 was also the year, when Wayne was really taking off on the Mixtape scene. He dropped dedication 2 and Like Father Like son in 06. Jeezy was on fire, Ross was bubbling and etc. We just looked at 50 sound as boom bap and started to like fun music and trap music. I say that as an East Coaster.

    • @apoclypse

      Yeah 50 knew his album sounded a bit old so the story was that at the last minute he reached out to Timbaland and they put out Technology as his single. Everyone was reaching out to Timbaland to add that special sauce at that time, including Kanye who had him punch up the drums on Graduation.

    A lot of beefs are just for show, just to boost sales numbers. I grew up in a time and place where most Ford truck owners were compelled to have some kind of anti-Chevy bumper sticker and vice versa, where men occasionally got into fistfights over which mega-corporation-that-didn't-give-a-shit-about-either-of-them was better. Yet imagine back then if Congress tried (for some crazy reason, I know it's a stretch but just go with me) to ban all domestically produced automobile sales, allowing only foreign owned companies to sell in America. The Ford Motor Company and General Motors and every single one of their rivaly-fighting customers would have become overnight best friends, uniting together to pool their resources and fight against the proposed bill. It would have been fought against with more zeal and money than almost anything Congress has ever tried to do, and when it went down in flames the celebration and afterglow would maybe last a week if we were lucky...and then everyone would be right back at each other's throats. One of the two brands would release their next truck whatever and claim that it's the best truck whatever that's ever graced God's green earth, and the Ford vs Chevy battle would be right back on.

    Feuds in hip hop is only about the competitive nature of the art form...now if it's manipulated to sell records as long as the music coming out is good....does it really matter?❤

    No one gave a damn about that Curtis album, musically….it was just a fun feud about their potential sales, that’s it
    He lost a battle to Camron right before that. 50 named the album Curtis because Cam got under his skin repeatedly calling him by his government name.

    Fyi this beef is why 50 hates jay z even more. Because Jay zs hiatus before kingdom come was caused by an alleged fear of 50.
    Jay z and 50 acknowledge this, but from Jay zs book he took it as Jay z beating 50.

    This was a classic case of milking the industry, in a good way. 😂
    It was also a great example of: a) what the demand of the culture was and b) whose favor the tide is in and at that moment and the tide was in Kanye’s favor.
    50 totally had his own speed bumps during his woes with Interscope but he did benefit from this in his own way, which I think people should go read “Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter” for the full scope.

  • @ertfgghhhh

    I disagree. "Golddigger" is not a "pop" song. As a matter of fact, "In da club" was more popular- hence loved by masses of white people.

    White people attempting to break down Black music just grinds my gears sometimes... Kanye & 50 weren't beefing... this was two marketing & musical geniuses using people's thirst for negativity against them... and that's already been made known publicly... so to keep reference a "beef" is just crazy work
