808's & Heartbreak


kanye west's latest album '808's & Heartbreak' was released on 11/24/08. i really didn't like love lockdown, which started playing on radio a while ago, and it didn't welcome me to his new album. i thought his second title song,  heartbreak was just aiite but after hanging with lois on thursday, i was sold on his album. she really likes the new album so we were listening to it all day in her car, during production, etc. it's very different from his previous works- very indie, i have to say. 

there isn't one happy song on this album. he seems really heartbroken. i'm sure you heard his mother died. it was big celeb news... and he broke off his engagement to fiancee, alexis phifer not long after that. she was a stylist and i thought they looked good together... but anyhoo. my favorites are street lights (this song kind of breaks my heart a little), welcome to the heartbreak featuring kid cudi, and tell everybody that you know featuring lil wayne.

well, he debuted at number one on billboard 200. that should mend his broken heart.

Thank you! It was nice meeting you on Thursday. I didn't have much to say about 808's and Heartbreak either, but i love welcome to heartbreak and the song with lil wayne. Have a good holiday.
