This album was about love, about being lonely, very introspective and about heartbreak. Everybody knows that Kanye West is already an emotional person and has his heart on his sleeve and he shows it. It was an emotional album because Kanye West was heartbroken from his mothers untimely passing. Many of his albums can be considered influential in many different ways but this is about why 808s was influential. Kanye West gave people music that was more relatable and honest and for future rappers it showed you didn’t have to have gang relations or look tough to sell music. I think Kanye West is the most influential artist of our generation in terms of art because he really changed it all around and him beating 50 Cent in sales when ‘Graduation’ went up against ‘Curtis’ in 2007 can be seen as the moment that showed the world gangster rap was over. 808s and heartbreak was met with mixed emotions because it was full of West singing and full of auto-tune completely different from his previous album Graduation. This will be about Kanye’s music and not about his personal life or ego or anything like that.
