Everyone always says, “graduation is so dated” or “it’s a product of its time” but I feel like it incorporates elements of 2000s synth pop with chopped up samples in a way that is very unique and holds up extremely well today. Am I wrong about this? What albums sound like graduation? ​

None.

no one says graduation sounds dated

Graduation’s production is too perfectly and meticulously crafted to be replicated

I hear it all the time in real life and on this website

Graduation

never heard it once in real life

No one has ever said that

I know it’s hard to believe but outside of the s***ty repetitive ass trap sub genre there are plenty of albums that don’t sound like anything else

ITS SUPPOSED TO SOUND DATED WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT LIKE ITS A NEGATIVE THING

HE SAID HE PUT WAYNE AND T PAIN ON IT SO IT WOULD SOUND LIKE A PRODUCT OF ITS TIME HOLY S***

there's no one on this planet that can even replicate the aura that flashing lights gives off

Closest thing is maybe early Cudi and veeeery early Travis

idk but I'd love to hear them

MBDTF at times, but I don’t think much else comes close to peak kanye. Maybe you could argue acid-rap on a much smaller scale?

Nothing really sounds dated.

Hot and Drunk girls is garbage though

Nah

Mos def bridge is phenomenal
