Graduation by Kanye West has continued to get praise from fans all over the world. Now, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has given the famous record yet another approval.

The respected industry group said that the record had been certified seven times platinum as of Thursday, January 11. It had already been certified six times platinum the day before. “Follow God” went double platinum, “All of the Lights” went seven times platinum, and “Runaway” with Pusha T went five times platinum. Every one of these events happened on January 10.

Graduation came out for the first time in 2007. See below for the record’s awards.

A person who used to go by the nаme Mos Def has said that Kanye West’s graduation was a “Thriller moment” for hip hop.

In an interview with Dave Chappelle and fellow Black Star MC Talib Kweli on Drink Champs in 2022, the Brooklyn rapper said that Kanye’s third album had the same effect as Michael Jackson’s best-selling record from 1982.

Bey said that Graduation changed the course of hip hop when it sold more copies than 50 Cent’s Curtis during their well-known sales bаttle in September 2007. This is an opinion that many people share.

“It was so clever and funny…” He said, “Graduation is like a Thriller moment that people don’t fully appreciate.” “I always think they’re trying to make fun of it because he did sell a million records in a week.” It doesn’t matter what they sаy.

For at least five years, it kept the record business going, and because they had extra cash, it helped them make the switch to the streaming plan. Who puts on shows like that?

No, it wasn’t Coldplay, U2, or any other band. It was Kanye West with a pure Hip Hop record that was beautifully and cleanly made. I meаn “Barry Bonds,” right? Not even sure what to talk about. “That crаp got out of hand.”

He also said, “From an outsider’s point of view, it felt like a vote—this side or that side will decide the cultural direction for this group for at least the next five years, if not the whole generation.”

“That’s what I think Kanye West’s Graduation album did,” That changed the way people thought about what was possible in terms of being original, new, and on a large scale.

“No one that big in pop culture was being that creative.” Not least in Hip Hop, it was a big moment for the community.
