Album review: Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreak
- Jan 05, 2009
Mister Kanye West released his fourth album back in November and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the art that he has produced. Kanye is singing on every song on the album with a little help from the auto-tune. Soothing melodies that tell about heartbreaks, love and misery and moving on with life - this is what this CD is made of. Ending with a 6 minute freestyle which he compares his life to the story of Pinnochio. Saying over and over again 'I wanna be a real boyyyy.' The song that connects with me most would have to be Robocop,which tells a tale of a  self-consicous woman who is snooping around on her man and becomes more like robot who commands orders. If you don't already have this piece of brilliance pick it up. It shows a sensitive side to the formerly arrogant Mister West which is uncommon.
