That Kanye West song

[Dead Flower]

I realise I'm super late to the party and this thread will make me desperately uncool...

But does anyone else think the first single is just completely boss? There's nothing else on the radio that sounds anything like this. The beats are fucking incredible and combine with the vocal melody so well. I love the tribal drums throughout the song, too.

How's the rest of the album.

[Black Sabbath]

You are desperately uncool.

[Dead Flower]

Your sig is too big. I've reported it to the mods.

[Black Sabbath]

You did the same with Fernando's.

[Dead Flower]

Makes me feel like a big man.

[Black Sabbath]

Just read my location, and the text in my sig. Bitch.

[Dead Flower]

Whateva. Enjoy having your sig deleted my the admin.

Mine is perfect.

[Black Sabbath]

Yours puts me to sleep.

[Dead Flower]

What's that? You're gay? Congratualtions!

It's a fuckin' awesome song. Musically, Kanye is very unpredictable. I like that.

[GNRs00ks]

The new albums great.

I've seen that video on MTV everynight. It's sort of like a Paul Simon song Graceland, a hip hop version.

I prefered his video where he kills that chick and puts her in his truck. most of his videos are pretty good tho.

Stronger was great single. Axl should cover that live.

Kanye West is awesome, if he wasn't black he'd be as cool as the Gallaghers

[Lithium]

I love it like I love the rest of 808s and Heartbreak. Kanye is an excellent producer, and together with Bhasker, he makes the sound really clean, as well as bringing a nice flow to it. 808s & Heartbreak is definitely one of the most interesting records of this year; like Indy said, Kanye is very unpredictable, and he makes the whole concept of the album really cool and interesting.

[Nobodys_Fault]

One of my favourite albums of the year. Maybe not the best decisions to drench every word with autotune but it works surprising well.

My friend showed me pictures of his kids

And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs

He said his daughter got a brand new report card

And all I got was a brand new sports car

It's like a hip hop Nine Inch Nails record with Michael Jackson's pop sensibilities. It shouldn't work, but it does. Like many, I abhor this sudden fascination with autotune, but I think it's done really tastefully on the album. Conceptually, it reminds me of The Love Below by Andre 3000; a kind of bizarre, Frankenstein monster that doesn't fit in with their previous material or abide by the restrictions of their genre. Unfortunately, a lot of people have written it off too quickly, but I think it will be remembered as one of the most interesting albums of the decade..

Top Three:

Street Lights

Robocop

Say You Will
