It's the final week of Camp Digs 2026 and it's time to break down Kanye's "Graduation" for 2000s week.
In September 2007, Kanye stopped trying to prove he was a great rapper and went after being the biggest artist on the planet. It's the close of the college trilogy, the close of an era for hip-hop, and the last album made by the version of Kanye everybody fell in love with, two months before his mom passed and everything changed.
