50’s Curtis vs Kanye’s Graduation

I just finished listening to Kanye's album and I got to say very well put together. I'm no music expert, but the album is structured to perfection, in other words "on point." Kanye's smooth unique style is always interesting to listen to, and in this album he manipulates the beats to match his flow, and the outcome is top notch. The chosen ones to join Kanye on the "Graduation" album were noticeably chosen to follow Kanye's lay back, casual Dude style. The only down fall in my eyes was the fact that after the "Everything lam" track the following tracks were a bit too lay back for my listening habits. Overall a good album, well put together and obviously tried hard to get even the John Mayor Type of listeners involved. No doubt it will help the sells.

50 cent is a very smart business man, but for some reason I feel as if his album wasn't hyped up as much as previous albums. Although Kanye sold more copies the first day, and 50 stated that he would retire from rapping if that were to happen, you have to remember that he probably has two other albums already recorded or claims to, so either way he wins. 50's new album "Curtis" is nothing different, same old 50, with just new tracks, only track I think sounded a bit different was "Ayo Technology", but it's all good because his flow and style is always that G shit that you wish you were, but you ain't. Many people try to compare Kanye's Graduation with 50's "Curtis", but come on man they got totally different styles and comparing these two is like comparing a Hanes t-shirt and a Teflon vest. "Curtis" right away starts off during the same time as the way "Massacre" started, but in a different location, yeah it involves clips. The album starts off strong then changes tempo to a more "time to get high type of tempo", and then reverts back to the club type of tracks, and does well enough to keep it going with out getting bored. Overall it is the same style and flow, although i hear around that his flow changed, I don't think so, same old 50 to me and maybe the beats changed, but he sounds like he recorded this album the same day Massacre was laid down. In my eyes if Dre would of produced the whole album 50 would of reinvented himself. That Come & Go tracks is classic.
