View More By Kanye West Our Review808s & Heartbreak is an anomaly in the pop landscape: a nearly extemporaneous work that hews to its author’s emotional and creative needs rather than audience expectations. Precipitated by the death of West’s mother and his subsequent split with his fiancé, 808s & Heartbreak is a radical departure from Kanye’s career trajectory. Where Late Registration and Graduation presented a parade of colors delivered with a self-deprecating sense of humor, 808s is cold and mechanical. Despite its icy sheen though, the undercurrent of loss and despair comes through the strange grooves of “Love Lockdown,” “Coldest Winter,” and “Welcome To Heartbreak.” At times the album seems one-dimensional, but its significance comes as much from its concept and its audacity as it does from the music itself. For Kanye to take his art in a drastically different direction just as his superstardom is at its zenith shows an uncommon amount of courage. Though 808s & Heartbreak will not go down as the fullest realization of West’s musical talent, it may go down as the most important statement in the man’s career.. Customer ReviewsFantastic. (5 stars)Yes, it is quite different than his older music, but this is amazing. He is so creative and, dare I say, a musical genius. I am a 15-year-old girl whose musical interest is usually in the area of rock, but Mr. West has opened up my eyes to the many other great artists out there. Thank you, Kanye West.

Kanye does it again (5 stars) kanye west is back boys and girls and he's packing a punch with his new album. after the death of his mother, his attitude changed and this album was in memory of her great change of pace for Kanye (5 stars) Wow...this album blew my mind...great new feel and music for Kanye. he didn't need to go in another direction with his music, but he did, and I think it will be great for him. This is just pure greatness BiographyBorn: June 08, 1977 in Atlanta, GAGenre: Hip Hop/Rap Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s In the span of three short years, Kanye West went from hip-hop beatmaker to worldwide hitmaker, as his stellar production work for Jay-Z led to a major-label recording contract and, ultimately, a wildly successful solo career. West paired his beats with tongue-twisting raps and a self-assured, flamboyant personality. His dapper fashion sense set him apart from many of his rap peers, and his confidence often came across as boastful or even egotistical, albeit amusingly so. This flamboyance, of course,...
