A story about this — 2 years ago
Oh Yeezie! When I first heard Kanye was putting out an album “sung” entirely in auto-tune and titled “808s and Heartbreak,” you couldn’t imagine my excitement. The hits were above average, but the rest of the album really hit the ground. For some reason, Kanye’s narcissism sounds much better in standard hip-hop verse. Take out the samples and raps, and Kanye just sounds like a fool with an ego problem. Who can’t even sing. But I’ll still pop on. Such a disappointment for such a great concept.
