Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Kanye West, Graduation

No matter what direction hip-hop takes, Kanye West proves his beats age like a fine wine. West infuses a multitude of different artists on his third album, like Daft Punk on his single “Stronger.” West thrives with his ability to collaborate and create a consistent album.
