808s wayyyy ahead of its time.

 

[lamekilla]

I happened to be going through a break up when 808s dropped.

Needless to say, I always thought 808s was dope. Robocop speaks to me on a personal level.

Same here fam

 

[Sneaker P]

808s spawned drakes style and has had an effect on other artists too. Gambino, The Weeknd, etc.

Wish he would make a part 2 to that album. Easily one of my favorite albums of all time.

Boy stop.

This dumb **** been said on here several times and been proven wrong repeatedly.

Drake's been doing tapes since 06. Years before 808's.

And artists like Andre 3000, Cudi and several others, massive in their own right, had been on that as well.

Some of you are so focused on one artist you can't see the forest through the trees.

So I guess "ahead of it's time" is the term we use for an album no one really liked when it was out.....and that no one really checks for today either?

This dude really need to drop some new music to keep y'all occupied because y'all whylin' right now.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

That Bound performance on Fallon sounds better than the original IMO

 

[guzzy]

Imo, 808s in Ye's 2nd best album right behind, MBDTF.

Loved it when it dropped, still love it. 1st album I bought.

Oh word, so people were listening to Cudi and Drake in 08 and prior and they were getting spins and were well known by the casual listener?

He may not have necessarily inspired them, but he definitely opened up a lane for that type of music to be accepted in rap/hip hop.

Opening up a lane and inspiring is two different things. Ya'll making it seem like he pioneered what's being put out now. I will say it's ahead of it's time because it would be appreciated more now than it was.

 

[cragmatic]

Not to mention with some of the tracks on 808's he damn near jacked old tracks that he sampled, But it did have a lot of original production as well.

I'm a huge Kanye stan, but sometimes it's just like, damn, he completely stole that

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Kanye didn't change the world or some ***** but 808's definitely had an influence on Drake's So Far Gone and some of his work since, that's clear as day. I think him and Cudi kinda influenced each other.

 

[mister friendly]

808s is a most influential album of the last 6 years

 

[airphilippines]

Street Lights is my favorite of 808's.

 

[tay1]

Now I have to relisten to all of 808's to understand the new-found hype.

808s & Heartbreak released November 2008.

Drakes first two mixtapes featured no singing (he had R&B dudes on almost all the hooks) and it was not like the music that made him successful aka So Far Gone. Room for Improvement and Comeback Season came out when there weren't people doing the singing/rapping thing and neither was Drake. Sure he was making songs about chick, but there was no singing. On February 13, 2009, Drake released his third official mixtape, So Far Gone. So Far Gone is credited as being his commercial and critical breakthrough as it was much more critically acclaimed and commercially successful than his previous two releases.

Cudi was featured on Say You Will and worked with Kanye on the whole project. That is why I didn't name him. Cudi has always had his own lane.

I'm actually very knowledgeable about other artists and music, but to act like 808s didn't cause a shift in hip-hop/r&b and influence music from 08-present is just ridiculous.

It was ahead of its time, just like many of Kanye's projects. Maybe 808s didn't do it for you, but I played that album for like 8 months straight. Very few albums can get that kind of play especially the way the industry is now.

**** I still listen to 808s heavy without skipping a track and feel as like its a classic album up there with greats like Dark Side of the Moon, Metallica Black Album, etc.

BTW, Yeezus is ahead of its time too. And when I say that I mean its ahead to the average consumer/casual music listener. Its for his fans, not someone that likes the "Stronger or Gold Digger" Kanye.

 

[Sneaker P]

Kendrick Lamar spoke with VIBE back in March, the Compton lyricist praised the work as a project that inspired him to embrace his own originality

 

[Sneaker P]

http://www.mtv.com/news/1612262/drake-says-kanye-west-is-the-most-influential-person-on-his-sound/ illphillip peep the date and time when MTV wanted to even talk to Drake. Not when his first two mixtapes dropped.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Yeezus will be hot in 2 years, just wait

 

[tay1]

IDK. While I love the production on Yeezus, the lyrics were lacking. As a result, it sounds half-***** to me. I don't think that album will catch on with many down the line.

A lot of artists do renditions like the Tears of Fears song. Sometimes a song speaks to the artists and they want to put their own spin on it. The most famous version of this is House of the Rising Sun. Bob Dylan did the original, it wasn't as big of a song till The Animals their rendition.

Are you saying Kanye samples? Shocking.

 

[Sneaker P]

lol I think its hot right now. I've always said Send it Up is a club banger, but you won't hear it in the club. Why? Maybe because its not EDM.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

**** I like Yeezus now haha, a lot of people don't

 

[Sneaker P]

All I'm saying is Kanye had balls doing an album that consisted mostly, if not all singing. But it wasn't Brian Mcknight or Boyz II Men singing it was something new that grew to the music we all love today.

 

[Sneaker P]

**** I like Yeezus now haha, a lot of people don't

BTW, that guy was a lame that had the asinine statement in all his posts. Respect for the way you handled it.

 

[cragmatic]

Obviously Kanye samples. He made his career on samples. But on a song like Coldest Winter when some of the parts are word for word the same, it does take away from the song just a little bit.
