Some good tracks, some bad, and kinda dated production. Don’t agree with those who say it’s one of his best, but it’s a solid album nonetheless. “Flahing Lights” is amazing though!
Used to by my second favorite Kanye album, and while I still enjoy it a lot I'd rank it a bit lower now (probably ahead of Late Registration, 808s, and TLOP though). There are really only four tracks that I don't consider very very good, and Good Morning, Can't Tell Me Nothing, and Flashing Lights are top tier Kanye tracks.
And yeah, Everything I Am is fantastic. In typical Kanye fashion, the most poignant song on the album still has some hilarious quotable lines:
"Common passed on this beat, I made it to a jam"
"I'll just take the 'I got a lotta cheese' award"
While I'm quoting lines from this album, I'll also mention these others that are among my favorite lines of his:
"I'm like the fly Malcolm X, buy any jeans necessary"
"Don't ever fix your lips like collagen and say something when you gon' end up apolog'ing" (love that rhyme) _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.

I can strongly begin to thank Kanye for wiping the floor with 50 Cent. I'm not biased, I'm just sure in my case. Let me continue to official state that Graduation as a monster. Kanye had on his last masterwork (my personal favorite Late Registration), big success with his teamwork with Jon Brion; they innovated a huge sonic sound that's too rarely heard in music. This time, Ye's shaking things up again, and tries to combine the primeness, and his trademark-samplebased productions. Jon Brion is starring again, as goes for DJ Premier, Timbaland, Eric Hudson, and DJ Troomå, (b.l.a. T.I., Young Jeezy, and Ludacris). And let me say this straight: Shit works! You don't have to go further than 3 songs in, before the really hype Stronger shows everything that's great with Kanye. Technical quality, rhyming bag of goodies, and beats that makes you forget ______, fill in your problemkid, Ye takes care of it. With tracks like the hypnotizing Cant Tell Me Nothing, the funny Drunk And Hot Girls, the fantastically honest Big Brother, and one of the greatest singles of the year (2007), Flashing Lights, then this is a highlight in Mr. West's career. The music-scene needs pple with balls, Kanye has three, needa borrow? ”Say goodbye to the NAACP award / Goodbye to the India..A..Arie award / They’d rather give me the Ni..Ni..Nigga Please award / But I’ll just take the I got the lot of cheese award”!
