SMH X1000. Im a fan of Phonte. Hell, I was one of the few people (and I think I still am) in South Florida thats rocked with him since the Little Brotherdays. I remember back in '04 when I would d/l little brother like crazy, 56K modem and all. 808s is not that bad of an album. Kanye just wanted to step outof his zone for a little bit and test other outlets. IMHO, The album is a 3.75-4 out of 5. It's not "awe" inspiring nor is it just some garbage.Peeps need to chill...

Well if your skipping the whole album your mind was made up before even going into the album. You thought it was garbage before you even listened to it.

QWell when he dropped love lockdown it made me wonder. Then they had all kind of leaks on here that made me confirm what I was already thinking.

OptimusPrime may not have been totally right, but he made some great points. It's real easy to criticize someone when you're not really doing muchof anything, either, right?

Someone made a point early in this thread that should've shut this whole argument down:
Kanye was NOT trying to be Aretha Franklin on this album.
Phonte loses this one.
End of discussion.

I dont agree with him fully because as we are seeing in 09 Kanye's features are CRAZY hot, and for you guys saying who is Phonte who does he think heis...He's your favorite rappers favorite rapper i.e Drake.

Ron Browz music is garbage. Kanye, while its debatable I guess I can rock with it. I think Kanye used autotune to contribute to music. To do something innovative. I think Ron Browz job is to be the NY T-Pain.Originally Posted by rocyaice
I guess Drake's favorite rapper means something in '09.
but what is innovative about it?

I didn't say it was innovative. I think that's the goal Kanye went for when he produced the album and didn't really succeed I guess.From the album artwork, to the production to the use of autotune, if we're calling it a hip hop album than its some hip hop i've never in my lifeheard. But you hear a lot of people compare it to different genre's like emo and the dude above called it trip hop. I'm not familiar with thosegenre's so I can't speak on them. But I do think that was the intent of this record. I don't think there was a blueprint for 808 Heartbreaks. Ithink he went in trying to make a record we've never heard from a rapper before. I do think though Speakerboxx/Love Below could be considered the father ofthis album.

Common already been down a similar path so why would he say that?
Mos was on tour with 'Ye along with Nas and De La Soul when he was promoting this CD in Europe, so I guess they aren't displeased with you.
Unfortunately, I Guess Not.
