Kanye West – 808s & Heartbreak

“Mother [freakers] is leaking my [stuff]. The only [stuff] I leaked was ‘Heartless’ and ‘Love Lockdown. The label moved it up to get more Thanksgiving sales… I’ve been a cocky mother [freaker] and talked my [crap] and all that. And the people would love to see me not sell — hey, it is what it is. That’s the way life is, man.”

the album is now coming out on november 24th. i read a real cool pre listening report about it that forecasted 2 million albums old. i wouldnt bet against that. i even think kanye might out do lil wayne, if not regardin sales, than regardin his worldwide status. if hes not allready doin that. with his own version of electro rap (a lot of 808 drums and an 80ies electro type of sound) hes surely improtant for the topic of our blog. its the same with kanye in techrap than it was in rap, of course: hes too much of a metro to be on his side. thing is, in electro, being a half-gay nerd is the bst thang to be. so he done picked a good way to take his shit pop. i dont see him being played on every electro party, but i do see him being one of the biggest pop stars of our time.
kanye west ‘s singing on 808s & heartbreak, using goddamn auto-tune, using pop beats, still doing stuff every critic gon love. gay enough for europe – and he allready took the states, no robbie williams.
the topics on 808s & heartbreak gon be pretty impressing too i guess. i never liked kanyes swagger talk cause it sounded like a pimply geek bragging about being the better human. now he has some serious stuff to deal with – feel sorry for the geek but im sure he gon make some good pop music outta it. now, hes the superstar he allways wanted to be allways felt like being. on the verge on filling stadiums, like he announced. the most important thing in his life was his mother. he move with her to hollywood, shes famous now, too, decides to get her breasts made (you see my respect for the geek, i didnt say tits). sad part of the hollywood-worthy story: she dies during in that operation. so kanye feels like he reached what he wanted and killed his mums with that. 808s & heartbreak.

“I didn’t do any interviews after my mom passed. I wasn’t ready to speak about [it]… Now I’d rather talk it through than commit suicide. I’m super devastated. I feel like I moved to California, then my mom moved to California, and she did stuff she wouldn’t have done if we’d stayed in Chicago. If I’d never made it in the music business, it never would’ve happened.”
