KANYE WEST GraduationAfter sampling Daft Punk in his anthemic first single, Stronger few knew what to expect with hip hop wunderkind Kanye's next album.

Would it draw on the 'new French touch' sound so popular in 2007, or would it be another version of the feel-good nostalgia-fest found on The College Dropout and Late Registration?

In fact, Kanye has taken his senior status to the next level, in Graduation crafting stadium anthems from every unlikely possible source: Elton John, Steely Dan, Coldplay's Chris Martin.

Never sleeping and always up for the challenge, it would be no surprise if his next album (perhaps titled Career Search, now that he's graduated) sampled Barbara Streisand and Einsturzende Neubauten.
