15 years — that’s how long Graduation’s been on ya.

Way before Kanye West changed his name to Ye, the music legend dropped 2007’s Graduation. Graduating from his previous soulful hip-hop tracks to more electronic- and stadium-sounding songs, Kanye’s third album represented a departure for the rapper-producer and was his most personal to date. The quintuple-platinum Graduation, like other Kanye albums, is considered one of the greatest records in music history. And starting this weekend, Pop2K (Ch. 10) is giving the 2000s hip-hop King a special “homecoming” celebration.Tune in to Pop2K (Ch. 10) from Sunday, September 11 — the 15th anniversary of the release of Graduation — through the rest of the week as we play music from the album and re-air Kanye’s 2007 interview with SiriusXM. Throughout the week, you’ll hear hits like  “Stronger,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Flashing Lights,” plus commentary from Kanye.
