RoboCop has some insane drums and beautiful percussion in this case, but the piano in Heartbreak is enchanting to hear. the strings in both songs are what really get me in this case. It's probably either RoboCop or Welcome to Heartbreak. It’s great that I’m going to talk about MBDTF, my favourite album on my birthday.ġ: what is your favorite song on the album? You can expect the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy discussion on Saturday unless the mods would prefer otherwise. Is this your favourite Kanye album? If so, why?ĭo you have any stories about this album you have? How does this stand up to the rest of Kanye’s music? Which lyric/lyrics are your favourite on the album? What is your favourite song on the album? The album was not critically well received at the time but it’s influence has spawned artists like Drake (I know that there's drama around him and Ye, but I kinda have to mention the album influencing him because of how big an artist he is) and Kid Cudi, being received different nowadays from it’s original release.
The album has a massive stylistic change from his previous works with auto tuned singing instead of rapping, and minimalistic production with heavy use of 808 drums. Not only had he recently up with his long time girlfriend, but another big thing, his mother Donda West died of cosmetic surgery that he paid for, wanting to give her things because of all of the love and support she gave him. This album was written at a hard point in Kanye West’s life. Recorded soon after both the death of West’s mother Donda and the rapper’s broken engagement to his then-longtime girlfriend, the album relied heavily on Auto-Tune, cold synths and soul-bearing lyrics, a complete stylistic shift from West’s arena-rap LP Graduation the previous year.Today we will be talking about 808s & Heartbreak, Kanye West’s fourth album. A ticket pre-sale for the concert will take place on August 31st, with the general on-sale to follow on September 4th.ĭetails of the gig remain scarce, and the Hollywood Bowl’s calendar page has not yet been updated to reflect the one-off 808s & Heartbreak performance. While West hasn’t formally announced the surprise concert, a listing for the September 25th show popped up on Ticketmaster ( via Complex). Kanye West will revisit his 808s & Heartbreak next month when the rapper takes to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to perform his groundbreaking 2008 album. Tickets for that concert are on sale now at Ticketmaster. UPDATE: Kanye West has added an additional 808s & Heartbreak show at the Hollywood Bowl on September 26th.
