this qualifies as later:
i was rereading mah last blog, and realized that i hadn't done any of the things i had talked about, i'm gonna try to do a review :P but it's not gonna be too long.

808s and Hearbreaks-Kanye West

So i listened to this album a few times through, cause i enjoyed it definatley. But, it is NOT hiphop, and it is NOT R&B. Kanye gets a lot of respect for what he's been doing, he's really the first VERY famous producer, and most of his songs show up all of tehr the place, combining pseudo-hiphop with weird and amazing beats and rythms that combine and contrast with his lyrics amazingly. I have to say, i've never been the biggest kanye fan, i like his music alot, obviously, so i don't know why i don't listen to a lot of it, but i never have, and don't as of now. 808s is not gonna win me over, it's all love song-esque, which makes sense cause that's the album, but i know for me, and a lot of other people out there, i don't just want love songs to good beats, i want GOOD songs to good beats, yes i know that's implying that love songs or sappy songs aren't good songs, but can you honestly think of a time when you're in a good mood and not missing someone or thinking about someone or something like that when you want to listen to a sappy song? seriously, like what if your working out? or walking down the street? or sitting at home playing video games, you don't want no bullshit whiney james blunt taking his clothes off...you want something that engages your tingly earbuds, 808s just doesn't do that to me the same way graduation or late regestration did, i think kanye is slipping too much into his stereotype, like a lot of people listen to his music AS crooney soft tones stuff, so he's pandering to that crowd, but at the same time, while i might not be his paying listener or target audience, he's still losing me, and probably others too. Overall, is a good album, but not one that i need to listen to too much, going on the rack for now, but i'm def not deleting it.
