A song that proved to be the absolute peak and turning point of Kanye’s entire career imo. For me, the best song on 808s is a song that gets nowhere near the love it deserves. Some people say it’s the smash hit Heartless, the jam Paranoid, the heartwrenching Welcome To Heartbreak, and so on and so forth. I love 808s just as much as everyone else nowadays, but I find myself disagreeing with almost everyone on which song is the best from that album. But, that’s for another blog.Ĩ08s would also prove to be Kanye’s most seminal album because of the insight it provided into Kanye’s mental state at the time, and the mental state he would constantly shift in and out of going forward. Yet, it would go onto to change the face of rap over the course of the next ten years. An album that was throughly misunderstood and despised by the rap community. That would go to 808s & Heartbreak, the album released two years prior. But, that doesn’t mean it was Kanye’s most important album. It is by far his most praised album, and admittedly, my personal favorite of it. It features some of his most futuristic and brilliant production, as well as some of Kanye’s greatest verses. Most would say it was during his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It’s tough to pinpoint what was Kanye’s true artistic peak in that 15 year span. From his first major hit, Jesus Walks, all the way up to his collab with Lil Pump, Kanye has turned the heads of every hip hop head for almost 15 years. Kanye West has made a number of classic songs, and albums.
