That's all I have to say, say what you want about his album. To me its not all about street cred, its all about the music. To tell you the truth you may talk it but you still listen to tracks from it. I'm sure you do but thanks for the hate blog. Kanye needs more haters to build off on thanks for keeping him going People who say such mean things about his album are heaters. That’s all I have to say, say what you want about his album.

I just got done thrashing it in my own blog, and you and I have a lot of the same thoughts. When you said :Instead, in “808s & Heartbreak” Kanye spends too much time repeating mind-numbingly bad lyrics," you hit the nail on the head. Well done here. I like your style.

Best song on the album. What I found disconcerting with the album in general is Kanye's attempts to showcase his voice while simultaneously trying to hide it (tough to hide it with bad lyrics to boot). I have heard rumors about a more traditional Kanye album next year though. Season: I agree with Paranoid, definitely. Best song on the album.

Everything that was good about the 80s was captured in that song. When I first listened to it I was dazed and confused but then I gave it one more chance before I reviewed it. At the end of the day its pretty much a personal album that deals with probably every ill feeling Kanye has had and because of that its pretty much repeats itself over and over. But I think that's what he set out to do and in that case it was achieved. Not a masterpiece but its a good album and will probably still end up on Top 2008 lists and so forth.
