Not just casuals either. 808s was when hip hop heads stuck in the 90s really started to expose themselves.

That nigga is guilty your honor

808s had me in the shower second guessing my fandom I was so confused

I remember the pushback lol

It really wasn't as well received back then as it is now. People were actually saying that ye fell off

Lyrically.

Musically it's straight.

But that's when Ye began to slip big time aside from 2 tracks.

need him to get PND on something again

What he say

Most artists already have a concrete album that they’ve been working on or a finished project and the date is just part of the marketing rollout, YE announces hi album release dates while he has his canvas on the easel with no paint on it, just ideas of what he wants to do

Jesus is King, great project

I don’t remember the pushback but I remember this old forum in 2008 debating whether or not Ye had gang ties or not because of it

I think because I had started to venture way beyond just hip hop, into old soul and synthpop and s*** way before it came out I was ready for it

Really?

I believe every ye album is a classic
Ye jik donda are great
🤷‍♂️

I had just had my heart broken for the first time, got a cool new whip and had a historical dump of snow around the time 808s came out so I had a ton of magical nights driving around in the snow in my feels

It was perfect

lol the community been stupid for a while thats why I am not surprised by how they react to things now.

If Ye , Weeknd or many of these artist made what some delusional fans wanted their careers would be over already

Really hits hard when you going through it

Yeah just the way you phrased that seems like you had to tell me 808s and Yeezus were considered classics now. I'm aware.

One dude was all like “ye fake af he got no gang ties he a b****” type s*** and one dude was like “you actin like you ain’t bumpin Love Lockdown in the car”

I hate that Donda is mentioned with Jesus is King and Ye

they are all good but Donda had so much work put into it man and it gets slandered on here

Memories made in the coldest winterrrr

Bloated album

Goodbye my friend

People retroactively acting like Donda wasn't good is crazy to me

I get not liking Ye but Donda and its message is fire. Donda 2 and doing a sequel to an album that meaningful using your moms name again should have never been a thought in his mind though

I’m not comparing any album to any album
Every ye albums is almost any other artists best album imo
