Kanye West’s most polarizing album ever, “808s & Heartbreak” was released 17 years ago today in 2008 💿
This album went on to influence a whole new generation of rappers, ones who prioritized melody over wordplay, emotion over bragging, auto-tune over raw vocals. Some of the biggest rappers in the world like Future, Drake, Juice WRLD and Lil Uzi Vert all went on to continue innovating this sound that was birthed from Kanye’s grief and heartbreak.
What’s your favorite song on this album looking back? Do you think Kanye got the credit he deserved for this album? 🤔
