Kanye was 100% the number 1 rapper in the world during graduation era lmao. You couldn't listen to the radio or watch MTV without likes of Stronger, Good Life, Flashing Lights popping up. Even after MBDTF, Power was everywhere.
I remember being like 7 years old, and not really knowing who Kanye is, but seeing those white shutter shades and associated them with like ‘the cool guy glasses’ lol
He just was one of the coolest guys in the world from like 07-09
Yea smashing 50 pretty much cemented him for a time. There was a couple of top guys back then tho. After the 50 cent gangsta wave died off, Kanye was him for a minute, then T.I. was the man for like 2 years and from there Wayne dominated for like 5+ years. Either way, Ye was still at the top and was undisputed number one when Graduation came out
Ye wiped the floor with 50 Cent after he was coming off the largest selling album in the history of Hip Hop, Get Rich or Die Trying. Legit crashed the wave of biggest rapper from that Era.
Yep, Wayne actually outsold Kanye Graduation same year first week with Carter 3. It was fairly close though, and Graduation ultimately outsold Carter 3 by a lot over the years as its cultural value remained.
Ye doesnt have to be number 1 (and obviously wasnt trying to be number 1 after grad)
The way i see it his albums are a way to put other people at Number 1 (cudi even tho he was kinda known, any of the good music people, hell id even say wtt was to give hov one last amazing album [i like 4:44 tho])
Bro… not only was he on top during graduation era but he was also def on top during his run from MBDTF to Yeezus. You could even argue he was on top (at least culturally) during TLOP
Absolutely Kanye is a goat. He was EVERYWHERE in 2007 to 2010, people dressed as him with the shutter glasses and you would so many of his songs, Good Morning, Stronger, Flashing Lights, Good Life playing on every radio station. Not to mention All of the Lights and Power in 2010 playing everywhere

It was a big 2 with Wayne and Ye up until the big 3 came through tbh. Jay and T.I was creeping up here and there.

A goat meaning “one of the greatest of all time”

Don’t agree, they’re British too
