Kanye West 808's And Heartbreak Is Wack by revenge(m): 2:37pm On Dec 19, 2008
grin Damm imaginne a real rapper linke kanye singing ,

damm this his new album  808's and Heartbreak  is pure wack

I've been listening to it for some time now. Iseem to  like it, but I don't think it contests with Graduation or especially College Dropout. The autotune on almost every track gets annoying after a while.

Different style, still solid though. My favorite track on it is love lock down .the rest track r wack

I laugh tire for SNL grin grin


Anyway, while i appreciate his artistic exploration, did the whole bloody album have to be full of singing? not that he's usher. It would have been better if it was mixed up with rap tracks.

Dawg you beat me to it!! Kanye really let a lot of his fans down with this his silly vocoder thingy the singing is just not on point i would not be caught dead or alive with that album if Love Lockdown and Heartless is anything to go by

Yea meng, album is sooo wack!!!! thought I was the only one. Everybody now wants to sing, shoot!!

Chris Brown would start rapping too.:: oh no, he already did and guess what> he was good.

Somebody tell Kanye to quit it while he can. '07 is gone, he beat fiddy. '08 is almost gone too. go back to rapping. TY!

I think y'all are just spewing garbage you got from other websites, critics said the same thing when he first blew up, dissin the way he rapped and now its autotune, for me, 808 is one of the best albums in '08.   You are just dissapointed he didnt rap in it period,  big deal get over it. You forget he is an artiste, he has refused to put himself in a box like majority of your favourite artistes who can't even rap for their lives.   

 If y'all wanted some rap then go cop souljah boy or some other wack ass rapper out there. Ye did what other artistes couldnt and can't do which is creating something new, trying to be different and damning the consequences. As much as people say they hate his album, 808 is one of the biggest albums of the year,  doesnt that say something

Make i hear word bo!! Even the singing was whack besides how many rappers put out a decent album this year? would you compare that rubbish 808 and Heartbreaks to T.I's Paper Trail?or Young Jeezy's Recession?
Re: Kanye West 808's And Heartbreak Is Wack by chika98: 8:18am On Dec 20, 2008
I would give it 3 mics
Nye needs to lay off sampling though. He's kinda over doing it now embarassed

I was pretty disgusted the first time I heard some of the tracks on the album.

I first heard Kanye West using autotune in Lil' Wayne's Lollipop Remix. Then I heard it in Young Jeezy's Put On. In both these tracks, it really sounded cool (he was rapping and not singing). The autotune also sounded nice in Go Hard with T-Pain.

Then came 808's and Heartbreak. When I first heard Love Lockdown, I could not believe it was Kanye West. I showed the track to a couple of people and they could swear it was not Kanye. Nobody even paid attention to the track. After about 2 weeks, I started hearing Love Lockdown all over the place.

As time passed by, I began to like some of the tracks especially Heartless and Welcome to Heartbreak. Most of the others are wack.

I heard the album was as a result of his recent loss of his mother and his recent breakup with his fiance. The track Welcome to Heartbreak really has some touching lyrics (if you actually listen to it). I love the video of Heartless.

Anywayz, I wish Kanye goes back to rapping and shelves singing although I respect his boldness to explore other forms of music.

what blogs?? I stopped feeling him since day 1 when he started using the auto-tune thingy.
I complained about his singing in jeezy's "I put on" so it did not start today.

he said it wasn't a rap album. that's BS! he calls himself a rapper, duh!! not a rap album indeed.
Even if the auto-tune sounds nice, that isn't rap. No excuses meng, album was wack!! lmao
Re: Kanye West 808's And Heartbreak Is Wack by KarmaMod(f): 8:17pm On Dec 20, 2008
The album is about heartbreak

Does anyone actally RAP about heartbreak? the singing doesnt surprise me
Re: Kanye West 808's And Heartbreak Is Wack by shotster50(m): 9:51pm On Dec 20, 2008
You either love him or hate him theres no sitting on the wall. What I do not get is some people here are saying they never liked him,  so why are they complaining that he is singing then because even if he had rapped, you still wont like him. Dudes need to get off Kanye's ball sac , Go find Weezy or somebody else to hit on , Like Ye himself said, ''go 'head, switch the style up
And if they hate then let 'em hate and watch the money pile up'',

Excuse you.  If you go scout, what critics say, who'ss to say the rest of us do?   We all have our opinions, likes and dislikes.  Your telling us to go get souljah boy is not going to change what some of us think or how we feel. 
Re: Kanye West 808's And Heartbreak Is Wack by A40(m): 1:24pm On Dec 21, 2008
That album is sub-par jare compare it to College Dropout,Late Registration and even Graduation and you would agree that Kanye is slowly falling off

We both think alike! on the Lil Wayne Lollipop remix i was wondering if he had gone loco or something he also did it on Jeezy's Put On and it was weak

I think he should try Reggae or Rock next time because his excuse is so lame

kanye is cool. I havent listened 2 all d album, but i trust it is solid. kanye singing, i feel, is based on wat the album is about-heartbreak, and also less we 4get he lost mom not too long ago, so it all kinda makes sense in a way. As per hip-hop, he is still very much on point, manages 2 give ill punchlines still on his new tracks, and represents hip hop very well.

The fact is no matter what he does there will always be people out there who will say something negative,
Re: Kanye West 808's And Heartbreak Is Wack by aieromon(m): 11:40am On Jan 01, 2009
for someone to be bold n sing throughout the album is AMAZING.maybe you guys are just PARANOID that we now have a singing rapper.snoop did a good job wit sensual seduction n the louis vuitton don went a further step with HEARTLESS and LOVE LOCKDOWN.

SAY YOU WILL or wont,the fact remains that K.WEST is bad news to all the fake artistes that have long dumped creativity.

SEE YOU IN MY NIGHTMARES!
