im 14 and growing up with an absent father, and this is the only thing that really makes me miss him. small chance ill ever be able to do it with him, but if there is one i might take it
I know, like those violins got to me on a deep emotional level, not even lying there, it was and still is amazing! It made me ascend to the higher dimensions when I first heard it! Infact, when I first heard it from some person driving past me at the time, I was like "holy fuck, what is that beautiful heavenly sound!" I still can't believe today that this is a rap song 🎶🎻🌍🌎🌌😇😭🥰😩🌇
I lived in Chicago when this record dropped and I swear the whole city went lit for months on this. You heard it everywhere and everyone loved it. Haven’t lived there for years but this album always makes me nostalgic for Chi-Town.
I literally don’t care what Kanye ever says. His entire discography speaks for itself. He changed the game, flipped the script, revolutionized the industry, etc. Whichever way you want to put it, Kanye has proved himself to be the GOAT and absolutely deserves that title. “Can’t tell me nothing”
Many amazing samples used in this album. 1. Good Morning -- Elton John, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" 2. Champion -- Steely Dan, "Kid Charlemagne" 3. Stronger -- Daft Punk, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" 4. I Wonder -- Labi Siffre, "My Song" 5. Good Life -- Michael Jackson, "P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)"
Hearing he is a huge Kanye West fan after not knowing anything about Kanye's music not too long ago is so cool to see. Watching someone else slowly become a bigger fan of one my my favorite artists is so cool to see.
Yes. His father's genuine fandom here; exciting reactions, is so cool to watch. I don't think there is too much of this "an adult-above-our-generation" becoming a fan of our music, on youtube
Holy fuck I slept on this album. It's insane from start to finish. Having said that, I admire your father's energy, "presentness" and insight. You can learn a lot from him!
College Dropout and Late Registration are incredible classics but this one has some certain element of nostalgia that the others do not have. Can't wait to see dad listening to my favorite Ye's album and arguably the most influential, 808s and heartbreak.
You're dad saying, "Oh Fuck, this is making me feel something" to Stronger was me in middle school, listening to this album for the first time also. amazing haha
@@Michael.Sandoval33 Yeah definetely. I would say my top 5 is Bound 2 (yt version, cause piano) , 4. Devil in a new dress, 3. Never see me again (unreleased song), 2. Runaway, and 1. I Wonder Honorable mentions: Power, All falls down, Homecoming, Touch the sky, Heartless, Saint Pablo, Ghost Town
Listened to Graduation for the first time recently, and I was so surprised that Champion isn’t considered one of the best from the album. It was one of my takeaway tracks
What really separates this reaction channel from others is the fact that y’all don’t pause the music often, if ever. You take in the full song/experience & share your thoughts at the end. Don’t get me wrong, I like certain channels that pause the songs and react to the bars/lyrics, but seeing it done differently is very refreshing.
Your dad is cool no question about it and the son is mad chill. If your dad can do an in-depth analysis on yeezus and 808s and heartbreak to understand the emotion behind it would be amazing. I like how you don't mind your Dad speaking his mind. I respect that. As I listen to these albums again with you both I'm starting to realize the concept behind kanyes progression in production on the albums being related to the chronical progression of his album titles from college drop out to graduation... after graduation he breaks out into full exploration in his production.
Originally after Graduation would be Good Ass Job, but got scrapped after the tragic events that led up to 808s, He continued after 808 but then the Taylor Swift Incident broke out and he canceled it making MBDTF.
You gotta relisten to homecoming again with the lyrical context - the whole song is a love song about a girl that he fell in love with but the entire time he’s talking about the city of Chicago. One of my favorite of Kanye’s concept songs
Champion is one of my favorites on this album and I feel it’s so underrated. The fact that it’s shortest song on the album doesn’t make it any better on its rating. Love this song sm
Totally agree! Listened to this album for the first time recently and that song was the first that immediately struck me and was a real highlight for me
808’s and Heartbreak is next and I cannot wait! Kanye changed the game with that one!! The one thing I would like to say about Graduation is that at that time 50 Cent was killing the rap game. I specifically remember Kanye switching release dates on his album to come out the same week as 50’s Curtis album. A bold move on Kanye’s part. 50 laughed it off and basically suggested Kanye was crazy to try to challenge him at the time. Low and behold Kanye sold over 900,000 units the first week to take the #1 spot. 50 sold 600,000. Their careers have never been the same since.
50 knew kanye would outsell him, because 50s label didn't put the effort in promoting his album. So 50 decided to challenge Kanye as he was promoted heavily by jay-z's label, pretty smart move to promote your own album through another artist with another label. Smart move right there, that's why 50 making great business deals.
@@ismo9529 that’s not how that went at all 😂. 50 thought he was crush Kanye that’s why he said he would retire if Kanye outsold him.. Kanye just out hustled him. Inter scope thought they had it in the bag
@@keithdoubleo7428 what I'm saying is straight facts. 50 wrote about it in his book and Kanye talked about it. Both stories seem to be the same. 50 didn't even retire after that, and you believing that shows how this was a good executed marketing trick. Rappers beefing creates sales, the same way you ll be seeing Kanye beefing with drake before dropping an album and afterwards partying together. Gullible kids tend to believe anything that's told to them.
“Can’t Tell Me Nothing” was produced by DJ Toomp. The percussion sound that your Dad loves in that song is Toomp’s trademark. You hear it in “Big Brother” too which he alsp produced. “Toomp killed this shit!” - Kanye says at the end of the song.
From my understanding, Toomp's percussion was sampled off the Jeezy song and that's the entirety of his contribution. All the rest, the vocal chopping and the horns were added by Kanye himself.
@@mundicox8951 but it's still Toomp bro, that sound. It's the reason I love what you know by Tip and I luv it by Jeezy so much. Ye added to it, but trust me, that sound is Toomp.
Although I think there are more influential, experimental, versatile and even more creative Kanye albums, this is his most enjoyable, feel good album, and it is my favorite and the first one I’ve heard from Kanye
I remember playing Good Morning when I was getting ready the morning of my high school graduation. This whole album was my childhood. Remember hearing flashing lights on the radio when I was 5 and it was and still is one of my favorite songs
Kanye shows on all his songs how well of a producer he actually is. The music draws you into a mood that he creates. Hate this man all you want, admire greatness though.
Yh even if for some reason nobody wanted to work with him ever again and he lost all his wealth, he could create hits with a laptop and a mic and be on top. As you said, love him or hate him, but he is 1 of 1.
@@MackhenOfficialI love I wonder but I have listened to it so much like last year it was my number one song on my Spotify and now I can only listen to it on special occasions.
Fuck ‘I wonder’ hit different today from 2007 when I was a kid. Legit tears bc of everything I have in my life now from what I was going through back then. Thank you Kanye
This is such a legendary album. It came out in a stretch of albums where Ye was putting a different type of energy into his music. Cant wait to hear Dad’s opinion on this one!
im a 2002 baby and i remember being 11 years old jamming to Stronger in my room from my blackberry curve, little did i know that it would slingshot me into the world of Kanye west , almost 10 years later and this album will always have the most special place in my heart
There’s also the first line of the song that tells the literal story on how this song came to be “common passed on this beat I made it to a jam” he was gonna give it to common but common past on the beat.
Kanye is by far the best musician, artist, rapper, whatever. he does everything, great production and sampling and just unreal art. no one has ever had such an impact on the music industry and so many people ever. so many good songs and albums under the guys catalogue, anyone who genuinely believes the music Kanye makes is worse than drakes is just ignorant. kanyes music unlocked emotions I never thought I had
No, this is probably kanye's most outdated album. I love it, but it sounds 100% 2007. The album that changed the game and still sounds groundbreaking is definitely 808s
@@ivansladonja8991 808s was groundbreaking but this was the seed that planted the sound for the next album. I’m not saying Grad sounds 2021 but def way ahead of its time. Most outdated? No..just no
@@ImxPhreme Which is the most outdated kanye record then? Late registration definitely sounds more fresh than graduation, so maybe you could make the argument for TCD, because of the chimpmunk soul, but Graduation 100% 1st or 2nd most outdated
never think a reaction channel can be "new" in 2021 but damn dude I love this channel so much. like listening to the album all over again with family members who actually enjoy your interests without putting them down. thank Connor and father
Seriously I never enjoyed a reaction channel until this one. The reactions and thoughts always feel genuine and Kevin has the perfect combination of musical knowledge and curiosity that make you want to see how he'll respond to the music.
I've had a rough couple weeks, just binged a bunch of your videos. Brought a smile to my face fr. Don't stop making them and tell your dad he's a legend.
For REAL dude! Dude had his own lane, own sound, own style, own character. EVERYTHING he did was a trend. He wore the pastel color outfits n everyone followed. He wore the grill glasses n everyone followed. He wore the Yeezys and the world was shook n followed. It was so great man. It was SO great!
@@PhillyPhilly763 Nah he's still the same, just darker. Notice how all his stuff is just dark now. The clothes, the shoes, the music. It's all darker tones
@@PhillyPhilly763 Meh, he'll be fine. He doesn't need those brands. He never needed them. It's long been time for him to start his own shoe/clothing brand. They've been profiting off his name for too long. All these companies eventually try to fuck him over
Been waitin on this one! This is where he went from not just an astounding producer, but to one that totally changed hip hop. He wasn't just creating great records, he was pushing the envelope of what could be done in hip hop.
Since I didn't see anyone mentioning this: The use of the quirky, high pitched "na-na-na" from Michael Jackson's PYT (pretty young thing) in Kanye's "Good Life" is one of the best cases of sample usage I have ever heard. It fits the song so so well! Just wanted to leave that here.
Good Life is actually a Michael Jackson sample! He slowed down PYT and chopped it up to make this amazing record, I almost couldn’t believe it when I found out
I was lucky enough to go to Kanye’s glow in the dark tour in June of 08 - spot on… this was an arena album. I could still feel the same feelings seeing him perform this album live when I listen to this track to track…. Chills.
It’s pretty crazy to see how your dad without knowledge of hip hop picks up so many things and sees things most people won’t see because we’re used to listening to this music. It’s very interesting to see someone who knows music discover something we all know and love, keep it up!
Personally, my favorite song is “ everything I am” I don’t know just something about the piano and the way he’s rapping softly and the lyrics man everything just lines up so perfectly
As a Ye fan, watching Dads reaction to Ye’s discog who’s from an older generation has been amazing! Such a cool, dynamic, interesting and special chemistry you both share together. 100% agree with Sons reference to the drums being underrated because of how synth driven the album is. Ye collaborated heavily with a prime Timbaland throughout this album who helped him with drum layering and programming.
FIRST OF ALL GET IT STRAIGHT GOOD LIFE IS A DJ TOOMP BEAT AND CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING, BIG BROTHER OFF OF THIS SAME ALBUM IS ALSO DJ TOOMP BEAT. SO IN ALL DJ TOOMP DID THREE BEATS ON THE GRADUATION ALBUM‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ SO IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PLEASE BE QUIET SPREADING DAMN LIES💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️🤬😡🤬😡 #justadamnliar 🤬😡🤬😡
@@mabentertainment3021 this is a DJ Toomp fake account for sure Btw his 3 beats on the album were godlike. Kanye is amazing because he picks great beats from great producers and adds that to his own great beats. Genius.
I love how your Dad taught you who Barry Bonds was, and then you two caught the reference in the hook together. Just a special moment that makes me love your videos so much!
To hear a father dissect a song like I wonder and have all these questions and understandings on the production like I did as a 15 year old first hearing this is honestly mind blowing to me… a lot of men Kevin’s age would just be like “ get that crap off” but he understand the brilliance in Kanye and it’s honestly refreshing
This was like peak music to me. 2008-2012 was a whole other level of amazing but to kick off that era with Graduation, a perfect 10/10, is just such an amazing thing. It truly just doesn’t get better than this era, or this album for me.
its not a 10/10. A 10/10 is MBDTF, Watch the throne, Yeezus, Kids see Ghosts. Graduation is potentially in his 3 worst albums, still incredible though.
the Drunk and Hot Girls edit at 21:15 absolutely killed me to be fair, Graduation probably opens with Kanye's best 6-7 track run of his career, so it has to drop at some point. And to DHG's credit, I still think the production is pretty dope.
@@7barsofchocolate its a kinda goofy song, and it stops the god tier song streak. I like it enough (especially the orchestral part), but i understand why people don't like it
Also in reference to the 50 cent line it was actually a pretty “big” moment in hip hop culture. Because Kanye released Graduation the same day 50 cent released his second studio album “Curtis”. before that Dat 50 cent was probably the most popular rapper in the game at the time but he was still making “gangster rap” whilst Kanye was making a more conscious form of hip hop. Both artists appeared on the most popular hip hop show at the time called “106 & park” which was a “top 10 music countdown show”. 50 cent basically put out a challenge saying Kanye couldn’t outsell him because he wasn’t making gangster rap. For obvious reason Kanye won lol
Curtis wasn’t the second. The Massacre was the second. Get rich or die trying was first Curtis was the third. The reason it was a big deal was because it was both Kanye’s 3rd album and 50s 3rd album and the media was well as both men knew it’d be genius to market it as that when there was never no real beef.
There's something just so pillowy and soothing about the soundscape on this album. I have a really specific memory of listening to this on CD while sitting in the car waiting for my mom (shopping) on a rainy day.
Since yall actually read comments ill say this, you guys have taught me to actually actively listen to music. And it has changed my life day to day. You videos and great too and I love the relationship you have
Chris martins piano hook on homecoming is so good, one of kanye’s best songs. Kanye said coldplay are better than the beatles and jay z called chris the modern Shakespeare, they love them.
Witnessing someone's reaction to the first listen of Graduation just gives me an insane hit of nostalgia and the feelings I had, absolutely star-struck.
@@trenhen4311 I remember people fussing more over the commercial hits like 'Stronger', 'Good life', 'Flashing lights' etc. when the album came out but it's hard to put a number on what's overrated and underrated I guess
as someone who was newly of club and drinking age when this album came out and living in the Chicagoland area, I love Drunk & Hot Girls. to me it always came across as a warning about being a slave to your impulses and putting yourself at the mercy of a drunk person with no values. A spiritual successor to "Drive Slow". -and its a fun song to sing when you yourself are actually drunk.
I’m not sure I love the song, but I wish he had just let his dad come to his own conclusions about the song instead of telling him before they listened that it was rated low among Kanye fans as a collective
Everything I Am is an underrated track man. It's a top 5 track of Ye's for me. Also his albums are so damn good, I change the order of my favorite every few months lol Graduation stays in the top 3 though
Fun fact: "Stronger" by Kanye West isn't just one of the most popular Kanye songs, but one of the most popular songs in music history. On October 6th, 2021, the song went certified diamond, making it the 64th song to ever do so. Going diamond is the equivalent of a song going platinum 10 times, and is one of the rarest achievements in music that only some the most popular artists in the world like Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Drake, Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, Maroon 5 among others can accomplish. So the fact that Kanye is one of the only ones to do it and did it before artists like Michael Jackson is a testament to how much of an impact he has made. Edit: Micheal Jackson In did does not have a diamond *single*, however he does have diamond albums.
you were speaking facts, but did you say Kanye got a diamond track before Michael Jackson? i’d say MJ has the MOST diamond tracks and albums if i had to guess
THis list riana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Drake, Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Katy perry, The Weeknd, Billie Eillish, Sam Smith is some of the blandest shit music ...what a shit world we live in when Ye only has a diamond -should be raining diamonds
been binging these! just when i thought i had reappreciated these albums for the last time, the reaction and commentary of your dad is so refreshing its unbelievable
The look of pure joy your dad gets when he hears something he likes makes me so jealous that i cant erase my memory and listen to these kanye albums for the first time again
Just starting watching you guys last night during my overnight shift lol this is such an amazing thing to watch. Seeing someone older who really knows music and is open to genres he’s never dived into and actually understand it and not immediately disregard it because it’s hip hop.

Top songs of all time for me
Top 3 Kanye to me
Heard it in the rain after a rough chem final... Truly holy moment
Here's an extended version of 'I Wonder'
th-cam.com/video/xyfoyugCB8Y/w-d-xo.html
@@JA-SF2TX I actually have this downloaded in my playlist. This is my favorite version. Really makes the track hit harder
Champion is one of my favorites on this album and I feel it’s so underrated. The fact that it’s shortest song on the album doesn’t make it any better on its rating. Love this song sm
Totally agree! Listened to this album for the first time recently and that song was the first that immediately struck me and was a real highlight for me
Literally my fav Kanye song ever
Same bro
it’s very underrated
fr it’s one of my top kanye songs it just hits so hard, same with good life. they have a similar feel and it’s POWERFUL
808’s and Heartbreak is next and I cannot wait! Kanye changed the game with that one!! The one thing I would like to say about Graduation is that at that time 50 Cent was killing the rap game. I specifically remember Kanye switching release dates on his album to come out the same week as 50’s Curtis album. A bold move on Kanye’s part. 50 laughed it off and basically suggested Kanye was crazy to try to challenge him at the time. Low and behold Kanye sold over 900,000 units the first week to take the #1 spot. 50 sold 600,000. Their careers have never been the same since.
They had a fake rivalry but it was to promote them both. 50 cent predicted Kanye would outsell him
50 knew kanye would outsell him, because 50s label didn't put the effort in promoting his album. So 50 decided to challenge Kanye as he was promoted heavily by jay-z's label, pretty smart move to promote your own album through another artist with another label. Smart move right there, that's why 50 making great business deals.
@@ismo9529 smart
@@ismo9529 that’s not how that went at all 😂. 50 thought he was crush Kanye that’s why he said he would retire if Kanye outsold him.. Kanye just out hustled him. Inter scope thought they had it in the bag
@@keithdoubleo7428 what I'm saying is straight facts. 50 wrote about it in his book and Kanye talked about it. Both stories seem to be the same. 50 didn't even retire after that, and you believing that shows how this was a good executed marketing trick. Rappers beefing creates sales, the same way you ll be seeing Kanye beefing with drake before dropping an album and afterwards partying together. Gullible kids tend to believe anything that's told to them.
“Can’t Tell Me Nothing” was produced by DJ Toomp. The percussion sound that your Dad loves in that song is Toomp’s trademark. You hear it in “Big Brother” too which he alsp produced. “Toomp killed this shit!” - Kanye says at the end of the song.
Lol I read “Toomp killed this shit!” in your comment right as they were listening to it on Big Brother
From my understanding, Toomp's percussion was sampled off the Jeezy song and that's the entirety of his contribution. All the rest, the vocal chopping and the horns were added by Kanye himself.
@@mundicox8951 but it's still Toomp bro, that sound. It's the reason I love what you know by Tip and I luv it by Jeezy so much. Ye added to it, but trust me, that sound is Toomp.
Didnt know this, my two favorite kanye songs
did you know the drums are sampled from "i got money" by young jeezy?
The nostalgia, the dedication in each song, the lack of filler, a perfect opening and a perfect close. To me, this is the best Kanye Album, and a 10.
I love this album, not a favorite but definitely one I really enjoy. This and 808s have some very good vibe songs.
Good vibe but is drowned out by commercialism imo
@@olliecattle4370 eh... It definitely is more of a radio jamz type project. But still very good.
Although I think there are more influential, experimental, versatile and even more creative Kanye albums, this is his most enjoyable, feel good album, and it is my favorite and the first one I’ve heard from Kanye
This would be true without Barry bonds and drunk and hot girls. Those songs make it an 8 for me
I remember playing Good Morning when I was getting ready the morning of my high school graduation. This whole album was my childhood. Remember hearing flashing lights on the radio when I was 5 and it was and still is one of my favorite songs
Everything Kanye makes is influential to the genre and culture.

Besides JIK
besides Donda
SMUKNUGZ living under a rock?
Kanye shows on all his songs how well of a producer he actually is. The music draws you into a mood that he creates. Hate this man all you want, admire greatness though.
Yh even if for some reason nobody wanted to work with him ever again and he lost all his wealth, he could create hits with a laptop and a mic and be on top. As you said, love him or hate him, but he is 1 of 1.
might not my favorite artist nor song writer BUT he is definitely my favorite producer, best one I've ever listened to
I love how he described Flashing Lights as having a yin-yang vibe, I never put that feeling into words before but he's so right!
And what’s funny is that he and his son also give me a yin and Yang vibe. He’s so hyped and talkative and his son is calm and chilled

It’s def hitting different today
@@JA-SF2TX Imo the extended intro is much better, honestly worthy of being on the able like how all of the lights and the interlude before it is
This is such a legendary album. It came out in a stretch of albums where Ye was putting a different type of energy into his music. Cant wait to hear Dad’s opinion on this one!
Changed rap low key, my favorite Kanye album. Or “Ye” album
im a 2002 baby and i remember being 11 years old jamming to Stronger in my room from my blackberry curve, little did i know that it would slingshot me into the world of Kanye west , almost 10 years later and this album will always have the most special place in my heart
I agree with the "Everything I'm not, made me everything I am".
It's my favorite Kanye line, it just hits different.
Such a good line
There’s also the first line of the song that tells the literal story on how this song came to be “common passed on this beat I made it to a jam” he was gonna give it to common but common past on the beat.
'I wonder' is the gem of this album most slept on. Like Addiction on Late Registration. 'Big Brother' is also an incredible track no one talks about.
I think addiction is slept on because is minimalist, it wasn't as electrifying as the other songs on late registration.
@@stealmyideias8429 True

I love how with each album you can see it reflects his state of mind. Pre-808's the hunger. 808's the sadness. MBDTF the god complex starting.
Kanye is by far the best musician, artist, rapper, whatever. he does everything, great production and sampling and just unreal art. no one has ever had such an impact on the music industry and so many people ever. so many good songs and albums under the guys catalogue, anyone who genuinely believes the music Kanye makes is worse than drakes is just ignorant. kanyes music unlocked emotions I never thought I had

Sorry 4 your loss bro, I'm sure he's proud of you !
This album birthed modern hip hop. Expanded the sound of the genre to synths, that’s why it sounds good to this day
No, this is probably kanye's most outdated album. I love it, but it sounds 100% 2007. The album that changed the game and still sounds groundbreaking is definitely 808s
@@ivansladonja8991 808s was groundbreaking but this was the seed that planted the sound for the next album. I’m not saying Grad sounds 2021 but def way ahead of its time. Most outdated? No..just no
@@ImxPhreme Which is the most outdated kanye record then? Late registration definitely sounds more fresh than graduation, so maybe you could make the argument for TCD, because of the chimpmunk soul, but Graduation 100% 1st or 2nd most outdated

never think a reaction channel can be "new" in 2021 but damn dude I love this channel so much. like listening to the album all over again with family members who actually enjoy your interests without putting them down. thank Connor and father
Seriously I never enjoyed a reaction channel until this one. The reactions and thoughts always feel genuine and Kevin has the perfect combination of musical knowledge and curiosity that make you want to see how he'll respond to the music.
I've had a rough couple weeks, just binged a bunch of your videos. Brought a smile to my face fr. Don't stop making them and tell your dad he's a legend.
His reaction to "I Wonder" is exactly how I felt when I first heard it! lol By far Ye best song ever.
I used to think that until "Come to Life", but still amazing song
i personally don’t think this is his best song, but it’s a great song from an amazing album
Better than runaway? 🤔
I will never get over homecoming, it’s such a good song
W
The beat is way too sick
I have so many friends i have played Homecoming to for the first time, and its always one of their favorite songs by Kanye
if i ever learn the piano, the first 2 songs ima do is runaway and homecoming
@@jeohhn5991 I can do the start of runaway
It’s fun to see someone who really knows music analyze these albums.
This album truly is and forever will be epic. Kanye was the coolest guy in the world at this point
For REAL dude! Dude had his own lane, own sound, own style, own character. EVERYTHING he did was a trend. He wore the pastel color outfits n everyone followed. He wore the grill glasses n everyone followed. He wore the Yeezys and the world was shook n followed. It was so great man. It was SO great!
@@PermanentHigh he lost it all though
@@PhillyPhilly763 Nah he's still the same, just darker. Notice how all his stuff is just dark now. The clothes, the shoes, the music. It's all darker tones
@@PermanentHigh What I mean is, he lost his contract with adidas, he’s banned from twitter, and lost a ton of money.
@@PhillyPhilly763 Meh, he'll be fine. He doesn't need those brands. He never needed them. It's long been time for him to start his own shoe/clothing brand. They've been profiting off his name for too long. All these companies eventually try to fuck him over
Been waitin on this one!
This is where he went from not just an astounding producer, but to one that totally changed hip hop.
He wasn't just creating great records, he was pushing the envelope of what could be done in hip hop.
Once you finish Kanye’s discography, y’all should do a ranking of all the albums
I love how he's like "I love special and unique production, can't wait wait for the next one" and we all thought "808's is gonna make him insane" 😂
Since I didn't see anyone mentioning this:
The use of the quirky, high pitched "na-na-na" from Michael Jackson's PYT (pretty young thing) in Kanye's "Good Life" is one of the best cases of sample usage I have ever heard.
It fits the song so so well! Just wanted to leave that here.
The Nam flashbacks after Dad asks “Is he going to shit the bed?” was hilarious
Part was genius lmao
Absolutely killed me lmao
Dad every album- "I got [insert body part] shivers."
Good Life is actually a Michael Jackson sample! He slowed down PYT and chopped it up to make this amazing record, I almost couldn’t believe it when I found out
I was lucky enough to go to Kanye’s glow in the dark tour in June of 08 - spot on… this was an arena album. I could still feel the same feelings seeing him perform this album live when I listen to this track to track…. Chills.
Saw that show in LA. Hearing the live band was a religious experience. All the backup singers had the TPain auto tune effect. It was so sick
It’s pretty crazy to see how your dad without knowledge of hip hop picks up so many things and sees things most people won’t see because we’re used to listening to this music. It’s very interesting to see someone who knows music discover something we all know and love, keep it up!
If your pops loves this type of Kanye sound he’s definitely gonna love 808s 😭
This album deserves a spot on the wall it’s just that iconic
Sadly doesn’t have an official vinyl release however there is are import pressings online
Personally, my favorite song is “ everything I am” I don’t know just something about the piano and the way he’s rapping softly and the lyrics man everything just lines up so perfectly
As a Ye fan, watching Dads reaction to Ye’s discog who’s from an older generation has been amazing! Such a cool, dynamic, interesting and special chemistry you both share together.
100% agree with Sons reference to the drums being underrated because of how synth driven the album is. Ye collaborated heavily with a prime Timbaland throughout this album who helped him with drum layering and programming.
FIRST OF ALL GET IT STRAIGHT GOOD LIFE IS A DJ TOOMP BEAT AND CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING, BIG BROTHER OFF OF THIS SAME ALBUM IS ALSO DJ TOOMP BEAT.

Btw his 3 beats on the album were godlike. Kanye is amazing because he picks great beats from great producers and adds that to his own great beats. Genius.

bro the dad is breaking the cycle of not understanding the next generations music its actually kinda beautiful
I love how he likes the synths, can’t wait to see how he feels about the synths on on sight
I love how your Dad taught you who Barry Bonds was, and then you two caught the reference in the hook together. Just a special moment that makes me love your videos so much!
To hear a father dissect a song like I wonder and have all these questions and understandings on the production like I did as a 15 year old first hearing this is honestly mind blowing to me… a lot of men Kevin’s age would just be like “ get that crap off” but he understand the brilliance in Kanye and it’s honestly refreshing
I think he was a musician before doing these videos, so I guess he's looking for things anyway. Really fun to watch him interact with new music.
I am 60 years old and My son and I listen to rap together. It’s not your dad’s rap anymore
This was like peak music to me. 2008-2012 was a whole other level of amazing but to kick off that era with Graduation, a perfect 10/10, is just such an amazing thing. It truly just doesn’t get better than this era, or this album for me.
best era hands down
i always say that 07-12 is one of the best 5 year stretch of music ever. so many great albums and new artists came out during this time
its not a 10/10. A 10/10 is MBDTF, Watch the throne, Yeezus, Kids see Ghosts. Graduation is potentially in his 3 worst albums, still incredible though.

the Drunk and Hot Girls edit at 21:15 absolutely killed me
to be fair, Graduation probably opens with Kanye's best 6-7 track run of his career, so it has to drop at some point. And to DHG's credit, I still think the production is pretty dope.
i will never understand the hate for drunk and hot girls it’s literally so good?? wtf is wrong with y’all
@@7barsofchocolate its a kinda goofy song, and it stops the god tier song streak. I like it enough (especially the orchestral part), but i understand why people don't like it
@@7barsofchocolate that's one of my favourite songs on there, he wasn't trying too hard to do anything. its like... he just made a song.
Barry Bonds is also a miss for me
@@7barsofchocolate I don't get how u can think that lol
I wonder is one of the few songs that bring me to tears. Graduation is a top 5 hip hop album for me.
Also in reference to the 50 cent line it was actually a pretty “big” moment in hip hop culture. Because Kanye released Graduation the same day 50 cent released his second studio album “Curtis”. before that Dat 50 cent was probably the most popular rapper in the game at the time but he was still making “gangster rap” whilst Kanye was making a more conscious form of hip hop. Both artists appeared on the most popular hip hop show at the time called “106 & park” which was a “top 10 music countdown show”. 50 cent basically put out a challenge saying Kanye couldn’t outsell him because he wasn’t making gangster rap. For obvious reason Kanye won lol
Curtis wasn’t the second. The Massacre was the second. Get rich or die trying was first Curtis was the third. The reason it was a big deal was because it was both Kanye’s 3rd album and 50s 3rd album and the media was well as both men knew it’d be genius to market it as that when there was never no real beef.
50 also said he would retire if he lost
Kanye did his thing, so did fifty.
@Migs I was through and through a Kanye boy. Even as a younger kid I thought both Curtis and the massacre were ass albums lmao
@@earl-larsen THAT is the...key component to the whole ordeal.
There's something just so pillowy and soothing about the soundscape on this album. I have a really specific memory of listening to this on CD while sitting in the car waiting for my mom (shopping) on a rainy day.
Since yall actually read comments ill say this, you guys have taught me to actually actively listen to music. And it has changed my life day to day. You videos and great too and I love the relationship you have
His reaction to Stronger is so real, loved that. An iconic song
Chris martins piano hook on homecoming is so good, one of kanye’s best songs. Kanye said coldplay are better than the beatles and jay z called chris the modern Shakespeare, they love them.
That’s an enormous stretch 😅
@@johnr8820 definitely is but Chris Martin’s voice is incredible and Coldplay have some amazing tracks but not on the Beatles level tho lol

This made me miss my dad. Love watching these two connect on this level.
41:06 “holy shit” made me audibly laugh. Such a relatable first reaction to this song
this album dropped when I was 16 loved it... then I went to the Kanye Glow In The Dark Tour, and the stadium setting made it 10X better
as someone who was newly of club and drinking age when this album came out and living in the Chicagoland area, I love Drunk & Hot Girls.
to me it always came across as a warning about being a slave to your impulses and putting yourself at the mercy of a drunk person with no values. A spiritual successor to "Drive Slow".
-and its a fun song to sing when you yourself are actually drunk.
facts drunk and hot girls is a banger
I agree but I think it's important to acknowledge the undeniably rapey vibes the track has and to be cognizant of that I guess
I’m not sure I love the song, but I wish he had just let his dad come to his own conclusions about the song instead of telling him before they listened that it was rated low among Kanye fans as a collective
@@theepicosityofpizza fair enough, context is everything and I can't expect everyone to contextualize a song the same way I do

“especially h-“
He made graduation!
Your dad is gonna love 808’s and heartbreaks especially how influential it is and how ye made the project in 2 weeks
Streetlights gonna make him cry on god
Everything I Am is an underrated track man. It's a top 5 track of Ye's for me. Also his albums are so damn good, I change the order of my favorite every few months lol Graduation stays in the top 3 though
i was listening to Everything I Am when i touched down in NYC for the first and only time. such a magical moment, i love that song so much
Everything I Am, and I Wonder are very underrated, and personally my 2 favourite from this album.
Everything I Am is one of those songs I always skipped when I was young and now it’s one of the most under appreciated Ye songs in my opinion.
Fun fact: "Stronger" by Kanye West isn't just one of the most popular Kanye songs, but one of the most popular songs in music history.
On October 6th, 2021, the song went certified diamond, making it the 64th song to ever do so.
Going diamond is the equivalent of a song going platinum 10 times, and is one of the rarest achievements in music that only some the most popular artists in the world like Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Drake, Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, Maroon 5 among others can accomplish. So the fact that Kanye is one of the only ones to do it and did it before artists like Michael Jackson is a testament to how much of an impact he has made.
Edit: Micheal Jackson In did does not have a diamond *single*, however he does have diamond albums.
you were speaking facts, but did you say Kanye got a diamond track before Michael Jackson? i’d say MJ has the MOST diamond tracks and albums if i had to guess
MJ has a diamond track for “bad”
THis list riana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Drake, Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Katy perry, The Weeknd, Billie Eillish, Sam Smith is some of the blandest shit music ...what a shit world we live in when Ye only has a diamond -should be raining diamonds
