Pusha T made a bold claim that this album would be one of
the best of the year, and he wasn’t bluffing. The album just hits hard from
every angle. There aren’t any real weaknesses. Im sure one of the hardest
decisions Pusha had to make was when to use Kanye beats or Neptunes beats.
Regardless the album is really executed well. Pusha is a great lyricist who
just seems to keep it simple and effective. The production is great here. I liked every song,
but it’s not as addictive as some albums but that’s a short list. You need to
listen to this ASAP if you haven’t already.
1. Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2. All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3. Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4. Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5. Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...
