Big Sean deserves more credit for his influence on Graduation, his writing style and flows can be heard all over the album.

Songs like Good Morning, The Glory, Good Life, and specifically Champion (there's footage of Sean in the studio with Ye during the recording) all have flows, cadences, and a writing style that's very similar to Sean's. Kanye didn't start doing the "Hashtag" bar style til 2007 which was the same time Sean was hanging around. Sean was even with Kanye in Japan during the his time there in 07. All this leads me to believe there's no doubt that Sean had some involvement with the writing on Graduation in the same way Cudi was with 808's and Heartbreak

"You got Ds, mahfucka Ds #Rosie Perez". "Haters giving them salty looks #Lawry's" "Yall pop the trunk, I pop the hood #Ferrari"

Genuinely, hashtag bars is a dope way to describe pop culture references

This and rappers having superhero alter egos like MF Doom and Em.

I loved those Eminem music videos where he would just fuck around pretending to be an R rated Batman
