What then this album ended up becoming was something unlike any released. It became the most critically acclaimed album since ''[[Music/{{U2}} The Joshua Tree]]''. Every single media outlet put it as the number one album of the year, with individual songs like "All of the Lights", "Runaway", "Power", and "Monster" taking equally high positions in song rankings.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As is the case with the development process for most rap albums, rumors circulated that Kanye had a variety of guest artists to choose from in making the album. A ''wide'' variety of guest artists, including SouljaBoy (who Kanye had previously offered beats to) and Music/WakaFlockaFlame (one of Gucci Mane's pals who's best described as a cross between Soulja Boy and LilJon). Much to the relief of some longtime Kanye fans, these two names never resurfaced. Madlib, the famous experimental, jazzy hip hop producer, was another name frequently mentioned. Who knows whether it would have fit with Kanye's style or not; but it would have been fascinating, no matter what.

* SelfDeprecation: All over the place.
* ShoutOut: Again, all over the place.
