" '808's AND HEARTBREAK' SHATTERS SPEAKERS"

KANYE SPITS FROM HIS HEART THROUGH AN 808

Naiquan Greene

UK----Kanye West released his fourth album "808s and Heartbreak" on November 24, 2008. Kanye takes a different approach with album, using the Roland TR-808 drum machine. Mr. West felt that the machine was an instrumental tool used in music and wanted to get at the core of his melodies and emotions that he had within. West also heavily uses Auto-Tune to get that T-Pain-esque sound. On tracks like Heartless and Streetlights Auto-Tune can be heard clearly as West expresses both being heartbroken and wanting to get to a certain place in life; two issues I can relate to.




Overall "808s and Heartbreak" offers a futuristic sound to Hip-Hop, which is what Kanye West aims to do. West strives to paint new, fresh, and heartfelt notes as he Auto-Tunes his way through "808s and Hearbreak." I believe Mr. West’s new album is a must buy!
