Damn so many memories with 808s
HBD <3

Paranoid still GOAT 11 years later

Yeah that’s fair but it did still have a huge hit single and I think part of that is Graduation was promoted for like a year before it dropped, and 808s promo probably started a month before it dropped. It was somewhat controversial but it still did pretty well, especially the singles

i didn't truly appreciate this album until I finally heard it with some good headphones .

808s is quite possibly the most influential album of the 21st century.

greatness

pure brilliance

One of my least favorite Albums of his.

Amazing top 10 ye song tho

listen to it with audiophile headphones and you'll experience a musical revelation

This album made me a true kanye stan when it dropped and exposed me to leaks

@Goo How do you feel about it? 10+ years later

coming back from school to see the Love Lockdown/Amazing video on MTV was a vibe

this album really stayed with me over the years, one his best no doubt. top 3 for me

the Hollywood Bowl performance was so cool, love that ye let Cudi the hook on Heartless

hearing the tribal drums on love lockown for the first time was a mind altering experience

I love this album but pray I don't find myself relating to it anytime soon.

facts! that was epic and he was singing in f***ing auto-tune over tribal drums too ahead of his time for his own good lmao

While I've concluded that this is a perfect album (or extremely close to it) many years ago I don't revisit it much. I fluctuate between listening to nothing but this album to not listening to it at all.

this was also the album that showed me how important drums are to music. how powerful and immersive the music can become when the drums are done right.

I had to leave before they even cut the cake...

Any particular reason why you don't return to it much these days? The depressing subject matter?

welcome to heartbreak...

Also the first album that I remember having leaks. "Robocop' with the mix that made it sound more robotic and when Paranoid was called "Anyway".

It's a very deep album, can't just vibe to it mindlessly. Would feel disrespectful.

u r welcome bro

y figaro had to ruin such a good thread with his disgusting avi
