    People who still had faith in Shady Records did, when 50 used Straight To The Bank as a first single I thought Kanye had a run for his money but then Amusement Park happened right when Kanye dropped Can't Tell Me Nothing/Stronger...

    Was gangsta rap already dying by that point or did graduation just shifted everyone's music taste away from it?

    Were those the songs that sealed the deal for Kanye?

    Not sure why people rate this album at the bottom of his discography. Comfortably above Yeezus and 808s imo.

    It's easily his worst and 808's and Yeezus are his best. I could not disagree more. Sorry :emoji_smirk:

    I agree. It changed rap because this was basically the passing of the torch. From 50, Em, Jay-Z, etc, the veterans who dominated hip-hop for the first half of the decade, to the new generation: Kanye, Wayne, Drake, etc. It also showed a shift style wise, away from gangsta rap to today's modern sound.
