The Graduation Effect

The phenomenon in which an old piece of media is constantly brought up in defense of a washed up artist, only for that old piece of media to be nothing special. Famous examples include statements such as: "But Kanye made Graduation" or: "But M. Night Shyamalan made The Sixth Sense."
Dude, that album wasn't that great. You're just falling for The Graduation Effect.

College Grade Intelligence

A psuedo-intellectual person who thinks their degree gives them a higher level of ability or social status.

They will often look down on people without a degree (or those who don't declare their degree) even though their distinct lack of experience leads then to make more mistakes than any person they consider below them.

See "man child" or "bad boss"
That project failed, huh?

Yeah, Jill's college grade intelligence messed everything up again.
