Kanye West Spin Magazine Interview
You think Graduation is blacker than The College Dropout?
Way blacker. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” — how hood is that record? “Good Life” is straight Steve Harvey, all day long. “Flashing Lights”? I never had a record that was that black. But it’s white at the same time. Certain things are so good it doesn’t have to be white or black. That’s what Graduation is. Take “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” It’s a white sample, but everything I do to it is to make it as black as possible. So I’ma make the bass as black as possible; I’ma make the lyrics as intense as possible.
The Graduation is, “blacker,” than, “The College Dropout?” I’m not down with this whole, “blacker,” talk but I would have to say, “The College Dropout,” would be considered, “blacker.”

lmao, please. College Dropout was wayyy “blacker” then Graduation if anything. He spoke on way more issues black people deal with in everyday life. Tracks like “All Falls Down”, “Family Business”, “Spaceship”….Kanye, stop frontin..
