Kanye West has released the tracklisting to his upcoming third album Graduation, set to drop on the 11th of September. It seems straight. The main thing that I noticed was that it is very slimmed down compared to his other two in regards of features and skits. Chris Martin, Mos Def, and T-Pain - that’s it. And 2 skits! What a shock. I guess his confidence in his rapping ability has grown (like we needed that, right? haha) Either way, I’m excited for Graduation, Kanye West keeps things fresh. Read more to see the tracklisting.

No sign of “Bittersweet”, eh? Ah well, somehow I expect it to be a bonus CD with whatever deal they have brewing with BestBuy since if we have already noticed the trend that it seems BestBuy and Walmart tend to get the exclusives on these albums, so lets see what happens. Though good on Kanye West to at least give us a sample of his trio alongside with Pharrell Williams and Lupe Fiasco. I can’t wait to hear Graduation.
Lupe Fiasco is by far the most underrated rapper in the game.

A year on, i can safley say that there are different tracks such as ‘Barry Bonds’ and ‘Bittersweet’. Most of it was correct though, it was a great help back then!
