Soulful : 808s & Heartbreak

I'm feelin' this latest offering from Kanye West. All the hoorah

about him saving hiphop--nah. If this is hiphop, then, it's definitely

dead. However, I would say, he uses the hiphop ethos of pushing

boundaries and applies it to his music.

HIS music. That's the beauty of this album. It's really personal, soulful and musical.

It's good that Kanye keeps bringing new stuff to the table evolving from Hiphop

artist to popstar. I love it when artist quit the cookie-cutting formula of music making

and bring art to the mix. This album ain't for everyone, but that might be the reason it hits.
