Kanye West's forthcoming album, "Graduation," is coming sooner than expected. The album, originally due in September, has been pushed slightly ahead to a late August release, according to Def Jam.
West leaked the news through a recently released, 25-track Internet mixtape called "Can't Tell Me Nothing," which features him rapping over such intriguing samples as Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and Peter Bjorn & John's indie hit "Young Folks."
"Can't Tell Me Nothing," the first single from "Graduation," was co-produced by West and DJ Toomp. A Hype Williams-directed video for the song debuted last Friday on West's Web site.
As previously reported, the new album will also include a collaboration with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin on the song "Graduation."
Late Registration went through all sorts of moves before finally coming out. I wouldn't doubt this to follow the same plan. This album could finally be the first great mainstream album for 2007. I really hope he gets Bittersweet on this album. I didn't think the mixtape version was fleshed out enough.
lookin very forward to his album...i heard the Stronger snippet and i liked wht i was hearing. Do u think him pushing the album up has anything to do with 50 cent releasing his album in September as well?
 that's the last thing i wanna hear really, i was hopin this would get the curtis treatment. ye needs to go back to the drawing board IMO, can't tell me nothing was alright but he needs to lose that slow flow. rhymes are wacker than they were before...
