Kanye West Discusses 808s & Heartbreak

[beanz05]

This album changed my life

[funkyfreshkid08]

Still my favorite Kanye West album. From the production to lyrics.

[pointlessaccount100]

808s was such a change that people couldn't go with it. Years later it's seen as another great album.

[themanthelegendary]

Did he saw waley?

[theplasticmind]

everyday i love him more

[4567gwen]

Why does he have a mic in his hand when there is one on his shirt?

[legendaryicecream]

hi guys, this is V.I.B.E., we’re a rapping-singing duo, and we’re trying to get started early so we can improve and make as much good music as possible before we become fully functioning members of society and all that stuff that really matters in life is bashed out of our brains by 9 to 5s.

But… we got 8 years to make this happen, so :D

come with us on the journey, check out our channel and help two 15 year old Freshmen in their goal of making good music for you. Thanks :)

[CoolerKing37]

Really underrated album.

[TomatoBasil23]

the music must come first and foremost

[MegaFuckthatshit]

"Say You Will" is a classic!

[obiwashere]

[letshakehands]

I thought it was brilliant.

[Djeambek]

Nice kanye!

What brand is that hat?

[d3zzo]

[wiiboy555]

[brian2553]

I saw it. It was 4 years ago. He wasnt on an "outbreak" but yea, he should've let it go. big deal. he moved on. people make mistakes til they die.

[outherekidd]

Kanye Is The Realist

[brian2553]

First off dude, he never said he's better than anybody. Second, he didn't say he made "the best album ever" and third he never said anything about Jesus. Stop making up shit.

[txt2k3]

Kanye was real hip hop but after 808s he changed a lot even the way he talks.

[666darkdragon777]

HE IS GAY-FISH

[xxTaKe2xx]

so fucking lame to mute 'fucking around'

[acarnard]

808's&heartbreaks is crazy the lyrics on every track is out of this world

[Edhallick]

Gerbil cheeks absolutely sucks, I mean come on, who are we kidding here? Any jackass that uses Audiotune on his voice can only be a douche!

[peezy419]

kanye do you like fishdicks

[OllieMufc16]

legend

[OnlyUseMusic]

gay fish

[djbdizzle]

HAHA i love when he sings at 4:40!

[munibr12]

[llnicelife]

HE'S A GAY FISH......

[fofifss]

he's good

[hn8bl]

he's always been my favorite but he mentioned pink floyd! hes on a whole nother level now, noone can fuk wit him

[TGTHAHUSTLA10]

FUCK U HATERS!

KANYE IZ THE GRESTEST!

[hn8bl]

agree

[JumpBrothersTV]

yup

[mushookie0heimer]

@TGTHAHUSTLA10 GRESTEST? we all know kanye is the GREATEST but not too great to mess up our grammar!

[azboy123454321]

Kanye is retarded. "People always liked my melody so I decided lets make it all melody." Worst idea ever. That is not rap, that is not hip hop.

[Hinhanska7]

That's why it's called Pop Art

Who said it was hip hop anyway?

[PositiveKidd1987]

I think he knows that it's not hip-hop. He calls it Pop Art

[deathtotubez]

well pop art is meant to make fun of the consumer, and you guys are the one buying his album. His proving your idiots for listening to his electronically made crap

[PositiveKidd1987]

Dude, music will always be music. I listen to the lyrics!! I could relate to Kanye's lyrics and I'm sure many people feel the same way. It's sad how people look at production most of the time but they ignore the lyrics.

[PositiveKidd1987]

okay. I get it. You don't like Kanye West. Then get out and move on to something else :)

[syrensoundz]

lol....plp dont understand...its as simple as that...

[PositiveKidd1987]

I don't understand why this dude looks up music that he hates? I appreciate Kanye's music and I understand what he did with this album. You have to look past the production because this album is about lyrics...to me.

[xZansatsu]

You'd "listen" to poetry?

You're not all there in the head, are you?

[deathtotubez]

what are you talking about? of course you can listen to poetry. its called spoken word. retard

[xZansatsu]

Then say spoken word, when people see the word poetry, they think poetry, not a whole other form of it.

Even still, you're still a fucking idiot. Do you really come on videos to hate on people?  Is your life that meaningless?

Get out of here, lmao.

[stvsla]

I Agree. It was such and incredible album. it was VERY visual

[PositiveKidd1987]

You don't find many albums like 808s. This album is Art at its best. People don't appreciate "Art of Music".

[stvsla]

Very true. I literally see music, and 808's is one of the best albums to do that to

[Pastelle09]

word !! the lyrics are so important !!

[ic3e]

kanye isnt the greatess, lol. he's at prince level at most.

[SatinsK9]

^^^^I like that a lot ^^^^ but Prince is much better than anybody that has come out during this generation(1999-2009)

[deathtotubez]

terrible cd i dont care what anyone says. he is so cocky and he shouldnt be singing

[PositiveKidd1987]

wow good point. *sarcasm*

[tupacalips2008]

kanye its a real mc no doubt

[seafoampheonix]

I like Say You Will just as much as Last Call, all his music is good!

[DeathAwaits0729]

beatles suck,808's and heart break are better

[airdanny791]

thats why the beatles sold over 1 billion records worldwide

[airdanny791]

you suck

[PositiveKidd1987]

and you're better?

[airdanny791]

i never said i was better then kanye dick mouth

[LotN2]

lawhl beatles? fuck'em

[Gooden333]

BEETLES SUCK I just liseaned to all there songs

okay i didnt but 808 is the best album in the world to me

[musiccc568]

yea your right

the beatles do suck

over hipped stuff

like elvis

[airdanny791]

first off you spelled BEATLES wrong and second you suck and so does musiccc568....the beatles are the biggest band ever haven sold over 1 billion records worldwide

[blackbel4T]

808s is from two things, hence the plurality. 1. the roland 808 drum machine. 2. this record was recorded in hawaii and the area code is 808. so its 808s for those two reasons.

[keithoffical]

he mostly used the 909 but he said that 909 sounds un catchy so he just used 808

[comeonfuckingcunt]

He appreciates The Beatles, that's great! The greatest band ever. If you are in doubt then listen to Abbey Road, The White Album, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers and A Hard days Night...

Love the new Kanye album by the way!

[sign150]

im amazin im amazin country style lmfao

[adelarge]

Kanye West is talented. Kanye West is also an ENORMOUS DOUCHE.

[knpdyeballarice]

who ever was consoring this video didn't censor it all the way through... wierd

[2Klassy09]

The Beatles suck. lol

[sign150]

The beatles suck ha ha... u don't know shit about music lol

[demob7]

thank you. the beatles not only changed the music world, they changed THE WORLD for christ's sake, if that "lol" didnt mean "only kidding" then 2Klassy09 is quite clearly a 50 cent fan and therefore his/her opinion on ANY musical matter or any matter FULL STOP should naturally, be disregarded

[2Klassy09]

50 CENT Sucks.

Your comment should naturally, be disregarded.

[demob7]

people who say the beatles suck=50 cent fans

are you a fifty cent fan or not?

[2Klassy09]

Aw whatever, if I don't like them, I DON'T LIKE THEM. SO WHAT, GET OVER IT. I'm not going to like them just b/c everyone else does.

They're not the best group alive.

My teacher plays that shit in class and I've never liked it. Not my style. Reminds me of scooby-doo.

Beetles my ass, they're a bunch of bugs.

Don't say I don't know shit about music, you obviously do not know me. So sit down and and GO TO BED. Not everyone in the world likes the Beetles. Wake up.

[DiosOfNYC]

i agree..i hate the beatles music...however i have maddd respect what they did for music.

[DiosOfNYC]

i dont see the need to target me i just said i didnt enjoy it..thats my personal opinion..i did give them great respects now..jesus ignorance. amazes me.

[MTranter829]

i agree with u

i just dont rly like dat kinda music. but wat they did 4 the industry is amazing

[justinhunt233]

you're black?

[shanebert77]

kanye is a talented man, but an ego maniac and when he talks its upsets me brain.

[Louse444]

what a letdown this album is.

he needs to stick to rappin.

[nadiemenosyo]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccc­ccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkk you

oh and i put a thumbs up on ur comment on accident, i meant to put a thumbs down

[gymclassnerd]

808s & heartbreak is his best work 2 date.

[TheCoolestNinjaw]

[blackmags84]

How do you sound white??? Ghetto is actually a community of low income famalies, look up the definition. Hes a professional.

[qbanricanplaya1]

[PositiveKidd1987]

[DaFloc05]

[satanbuttt]

[johnbucio]

Well said.

[239opfrw]

when you make a whole new genre of music thats legend shit rite there that means kanye just made a genre that can evolve and be big like hip hop

[LawStunts]

R and B get on your knees beg a girl type bullshit!! LOL

[nevarrm]

kanye is against being politically correct and thats what makes him real. this brada is a Realist unlike all these other Fake asses. DON'T BELIVE THE HYPE

[spykerxx]

this guy is marketable

[lazyboi30595]

yea he is arrogant and he knows it lol but his arrogants is the thing thats pushing him to blow out evrybody else and be diffrent

[shdrw]

fuck you haters

[Oohhdaym856]

kanye isz uqly ass shxt , buht his music isz qOOd ;

[quince1]

GREATEST ALBUM EVER!

[Sunnydaleexile06]

He is soooooooooooooo fucking arrogant. I really don't like him after this interview.

[smokesumpn]

its his arrogance that makes him great because he backs it up!

[HoveyHov]

he didnt back it up with this album

[brian2553]

who gives a shit if you like him or not...dont search his videos, & shut the fuck up.

[ginopepino3000]

this guy is a dumbass

[esadiva2]

THIS ALBUM IS FIRE!!!!!!!

[rizzla4723]

The 808 is from the Roland 808 drum machine that is the standard for drum sounds in hip-hop. For Ex. lil wayne's "Let the beat build" uses it clearly.

[danishkhan70]

how the hell do u pronounce its? eighty eighty's and heart brake? or 80 8's and heartbreak?

[ejet219]

eight-O-eight

[djdannyc7]

wat does 808's stand for??

[keodakilla]

the type of drums he used for most of the songs

[Mikegrovesuk]

I've been a Metal/Rock/Alternative fan all my life, and Kanye West ( Justin Timberlake as well ) is the only artist from Hip Hop/RnB that i feel as passionate about as i do about artists from metal etc, and thats for the exact reasons Kanye describes in this vid, all RnB/Hip Hop artists write about is guns women and drugs n the same old fucking shit n its a discrace they get anywhere in music. Kanye writes about real shit, thats why ive always loved his stuf!

[rcarass1]

but he does also write about how great and adored he is all the time. his arrogance is almost well placed, but he still sounds like a dick, but this album kicks ass

[Mikegrovesuk]

i can see where your coming from mate, but that kinda persona comes with the territory. In my opinion Kanye is the first artist from this genre to of progressed so much from his original material

[rcarass1]

very true, i really wasnt keen on his early stuff but then he used daft punk on stronger and ive been a fan ever since xD
