Kanye West - 808s Heartbreak

Review by Russ Pond

"808s Heartbreak" by Kanye West is a groundbreaking album that showcases the rapper's versatility and emotional depth. The album, released in 2008, features a departure from West's signature hip-hop sound, instead incorporating elements of electronic and synth-pop music.

The album's title is a reference to the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which is used heavily throughout the record. The beats are sparse and minimalist, allowing West's lyrics and vocals to take center stage. The album is a deeply personal exploration of heartbreak, loss, and grief, with West using his own experiences as inspiration.

Songs like "Love Lockdown" and "Heartless" are standout tracks that showcase West's ability to blend genres and create something entirely new. The use of autotune on his vocals became a signature sound for West, and it works particularly well on this album.

Can we get this guy back. When it was all about the Music.

namchamsostd

It's an incredibly satisfying experience when you realize you have established a dynasty with two championships within four years of your first. I feel fortunate to have grown up a Chiefs fan, and it comforts me that childhood laughter from others about my team has faded. With these challenges in mind, music can help manage the process as effectively as possible.

No matter what narrative the left throws Kanye west is smart turning his life around n giving his life to God. He's hated cuz exposed truth n facts on things. Same reason djt is hated so much. Both have Exposed the satanist and truth Abt ppl n things in control of the strings being pulled. ! Jesus was persecuted n so shall we. His music will always be liked by gen x .
