Kanye West Prepares For Graduation

Kanye West's mother has spilled the beans about his third studio album 'Graduation'.

Donda West told MTV News that the album will have a September 2007 release date and that it is "his best ever , musically, as well as the lyrics."

Def Jam confirmed the release date, and West himself says that he has already shot two videos with Hype Williams. On the set of a new clip for The Game in LA, West said, ""Me and Hype went out, we shot nine days. We were out in Japan, we were out in the desert. We're taking it serious."

Never one to disappoint in the hubris stakes, West says he's ready to take the world over again. "I think the sound is bigger this time. It's bigger and simpler, where the notes really connect with you. I know the power of my words, so when I rap, I know it's gonna impact the world."

West also insisted that "not one artist in the world... has as much responsibility as me," because he covers so many genres. "All these people are looking at me from super-middle America to the hipsters like, 'What's he gonna do next?' "
