CD review: 808s & Heartbreak - Kanye West

3 stars? obviously who ever posted this review doesnt have a taste for hip hop, or how its currently evolving. i think most rappers only cater to one specific audience when they drop albums. kanye however is just on another level! id give him 5 stars for honesty! this album is so honest you almost wana cry in some parts. its also clever and origianl!! we need to respect artists that are original. everybody's hating on kanye cause hes cocky. in my opinion its better to be upfront and honest than hide hidden agendas. i respect kanye cause at the end of the day he wakes up every morning living his dreams! peace yo and enjoi this album!

kanye is one of the best rappers alive today,and he never disappoints..this albul is certainly one of the best albums kanye has ever done..stop hating and listen to the album...in this album kanye speaks from the heart one can swear that he has a mouth on his chest

I love this album, my favorite personally is street lights, but all the songs are really good!

Everyone seems to be on this album... To tell you the truth, the beats are good. The auto tune is not. Lyrically, Kanye has never been the strongest. And now he's gone and made an emo album, you might as well call him the Coldplay of Hip Hop!

I like Kanye's album. I can listen to it all the way through and relate a little bit. I know how it feels to have your heart broken, and man di Kanye have a lot of that in the past year or so. I think this is his best one yet. Keep 'em coming Kanye!

i like this cd is was good work but i hope he started rapping

In my opinion, the most brilliant release of 2008 by a long way. He is surely a step above all other pop artists at the moment.

For a rapper who can't really sing to bring out something with this much melodic brilliance is just a reminder of his talent.

Yes, the auto-tune is cringeworthy in parts, but anyone who listens to this with an open mind and appreciates quality talent can't possibly help but realise this is very very good.

9/10

Yea, the music has a totally different sound to it than his stuff usually does, but all the songs kind of blend in together as if to form one big mournful song. they don't really distinguish themselves that well... there are a few really individually excellent tracks, and we all know how clever he is, but the album as a whole could do with being more diversified. not my favourite kanye work at all.

Great aretist can do it all amd Kanye did just that on this album. Sure its not the Kanye West were all use to, but I know I don't care cause this is the Kanye West I've always known. Whether he is singing or rapping, he's a great artist. Keep it comin Kanye!!!

Worst Kanye effort to date... Whats with the stupid robot voice and totally mundane beats and rhythm. Completely unimpressed with this album, has none of the cleverness that his previous albums had shown and instead he has just gone with some lousy mainstream sound. With previous records he was leading the pack, with this one he would rather just let his reputation carry him.

Ive never liked Kanye as a person but I loved his music this album takes away the good (Music), leaves the suck(a cocky whineing wuss of a rich boy)and adds in an annoying, grating robot voice.

I would give it a 4/10
