On this day 15 years ago, Kanye West Released 808’s and Heartbreak
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
Great album. Streetlights.
I remember this time so vividly. My boys loved this album, and it was playing everywhere. I was more skeptical, like what the fukk is this singing shyt? They were a little more contemporary than me, at that moment, they were on Cudi early too. We were starting to listen to Drake too, one of my boys remembers me putting him on Drake around December 2008.
It wasn't street enough for me, I was like I can't play this.
It was the height of the 2008 Recession, I was just out of the halfway house/jail, and my boys were on, pounds of weed at a new condo, and I lost my job around Ocotber 2008 because of the crash. so I just rode with my boy every day, and at the spot everynight these guys were playing Streetlights, Paranoid, and Robocop, Heartless.

It's interesting look back
in real time, I didn't care much for this album.
This is the album that would start a new shift in music
He had come off the heels of Graduation, which I thought, in real time, was his best album. I liked that album more than Late Registration and College Dropout
and i was huge fan of College Dropout, but Graduation was the album where it felt like Ye got it all right. in terms of everything.
altho, sonically, you can see from College to Graduation, how he was growing with a new sound each album.
808's was like the complete metempsychosis
it wasn't until he came out with Yeezus that i appreciated 808's
in fact, when 808's dropped, i stopped checking for Ye.
808's definitely brought about a new era for Ye and music in general.
it's crazy, cause you can see the influence the album has left behind and what i find interesting is, how Ye hasn't really stopped messing with sound since
he still uses auto tune and here we are 15 years later.
with all that said, i think "Welcome To Heartbreak" is my favorite song off the album. love the Tears For Fears influence in sound on there
and then it's "Coldest Winter". again, the Tears For Fears influence.

i asked this question a while back but the thread went wood

all i could find was this on instagram

see, i was like that in real time too
it was definitely the start of Ye gaining new fans for his change in sound and him appealing to a wider audience
