Kanye Trips Up

The surprising thing about Kanye West's 3rd album is how bland it sounds. Never a great rapper, he's Hip Hop's best Producer. And his two previous albums came to life with inspired samples and new beats. But Graduation just sits there. West wants you listen more this time around. But his lyrics can't catch up to his musical ambitions. He may be a genius, but even genius' can't get there ideas to go from paper to music.
