#DRAW KANYE WEST GRADUATION ALBUM SERIES#

Listen to the best of Kanye West on Apple Music and Spotify.

Hip-hop was moving forward fast, and Kanye West would remain a driving force for change in the years to come. This piece is not your standard album rankings drivel, but rather an assessment. What emerged from that discussion was the following article. Perhaps more importantly, KanyeвЂ™s success cemented hip-hopвЂ™s shift away from the gangsta rap that had dominated during the 90s, ushering in an eclectic brand of hip-hop that would embrace styles as diverse as house and rock music. Recently, a few of the most devoted Church of Kanye worshippers at the Highlander gathered and discussed the career of the Lord and Savior himself, Kanye West. In the end, Kanye won by a landslide as Graduation sold nearly one million albums to CurtisвЂ™ 691,000. A competition between the pair ensued, spurred on by 50 CentвЂ™s assertion that he would easily outsell his rival. Its release coincided with 50 CentвЂ™s third album, Curtis steeped in the traditions of gangsta rap, the latter stood in stark contrast to KanyeвЂ™s futuristic hybrid. Released on September 11, 2007, Graduation proved to be one of the yearвЂ™s most memorable albums.

Elsewhere, вЂњChampionвЂ™вЂќs looped segment of Steely DanвЂ™s вЂњKid CharlemagneвЂќ lends the track hints of jazz-rock, while on вЂњDrunk And Hot GirlsвЂќ Kanye sings alongside Mos Def, the pair delivering an idiosyncratic cover-of-sorts of вЂњSing Swan SongвЂќ by krautrock legends Can. I draw the line, its written in the sand. After a weak showing two years ago, according to Nielsen Media Research, the Grammy broadcast jumped roughly 18 percent in last yearвЂ™s ratings, drawing an estimated 20 million people.Further bridging the gap between hip-hop and mainstream rock, Coldplay singer Chris Martin was brought in to add anthemic weight to the arena-sized synths of вЂњHomecoming,вЂќ while вЂњBig BrotherвЂќ вЂ“ a tribute to KanyeвЂ™s long-time mentor, Jay Z вЂ“ was built upon heavy guitar riffs. His father, Ray West, is a former Black Panther and was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.Ray later became a Christian counselor, and in 2006, opened the Good Water.

After his parents divorced when he was three years old, he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. Such drawing power might be pivotal if the academy hopes to sustain its recent ratings rebound and attract mainstream viewers who might otherwise find some of this yearвЂ™s top nominees too obscure. West was born on June 8, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia, as Kanye Omari West.

Though the academy did not disclose who might be performing on the broadcast, critics expect it to use the 50th anniversary as a rationale to enlist any number of high-wattage past Grammy stars.

Grammy organizers already have undertaken an effort to create a historic feel for the event, including the broadcast of a two-hour special on CBS last week, вЂњMy Night at the Grammys,вЂќ spotlighting past performances, and the creation of a seven-CD series collecting Grammy-winning songs from the major genre fields. The nominations came as the eventвЂ™s organizer, the National Academy of Recordings Arts and Sciences, is aiming to add weight to the ceremony, which over the years has come under fire for hewing too closely to the music industryвЂ™s commercial priorities.
