Graduation - Kanye West's third studio album was released on 11th September 2007. His current work has been heavily influenced by Japanese Culture and Music, something which I really appreciate as he is modernising Hip Hop so that its not just all about gangsterism and gun shots. Acquiring Takashi Murakami to design his album cover and artwork is one of them and his "Stronger" MV also has a lot of Japanese Animation infused into it. This is a fresh album, not sic though but it packs lots of talented artistes like Lil' Wayne, T-Pain, Chris Martin of Coldplay and John Mayer. To add more publicity, Kanye actually changed his album release date to 11th September so as to compete with 50 Cent's Curtis. 50 Cent claimed that he will stop releasing solo albums if Curtis sold less copies than Graduation. However, he later dispelled his comments. So who can sell better, I guess you should know what to do.
