It's official, your boy Kanyeezy has done it again! Graduation, which was released barely a month ago has achieved double platinum status in the States alone i.e. 2 million copies sold.
This shouldn't be coming as a surprise as he pushed more than 970 000 copies of the album in its first week of release, outselling even the juggernaut that is 50 Cent. Graduation features the hit singles "Stronger" featuring Daft Punk, "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "The Good Life" featuring T-Pain. The standout track for me is "Big Brother", an emotional song on which he waxes lyrical about his complex relationship with his mentor and friend, Jay-Z. His rhymes sound extremely refined and he discusses the subject matter with admirable honesty.
If you don't have Graduation yet, do yourself a favour and get it as it is undoubtedly one of the best albums of the year.
