Looking at the comments on the latest 808's & Heartbreak leaks--it seems as if even long time Kanye fans are confused with the material he'll be releasing at the end of the month.
The album has been speculated to be no more than 12 tracks, one of which is a collabo with Lil Wayne, there have been about 5 tracks leaked. That's almost HALF the album folks--and the general consensus is, Heartless is the best track, whilst everything else leaves a "wtf" look on your face.
So 1 out of 5 tracks is considered good, while the rest are "alright." So my question is are you guys buying it?..You can listen to the 5 tracks below.
Also, am I the only one that thinks Anyway was heavily inspired by Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time?
So..are you buying it?

miss....im gonna pass on this cause it's gonna be T-pain'd out...kanye is one of the best in the game, but this album is gonna have a different feel to it.
I CANT LIE PARTY ALL THE TIME WAS A HIT.
R.I.P RICK JAMES
Yeah, this has already been done - and done better. T-Pain holds the crown and the throne on this type of music.
Why spend money on a knockoff? He's not bringing anything new to the table but beats. Spend a short stack on an album just for the beats?
Not me.
Respect for trying something new Kanye, it just doesn't appeal to me.
It Really Doesn't Matter Because The Audience Thats Gonna Buy This Album Is Generally Pop Fans...And They're Gonna Eat This Album Up
Its Not Really My Feel But He Still Gon Sell Like Crazy Because Its A Crossover Album
nah. I'll wait for his next RAP album to come out. But i'll still download it to preview the tracks
It's a miss in my book. Ill wait for the "Through The Wire"version of Kanye.
I posted this last month....and it STILL represents how I feel. Even after hearing the leaked tracks a million times.

MY FEELINGS ON KANYE DROPPING A "BULLSHIT" ALBUM...
Starting to think this album is his way of coppin' out and not really competing with: TI, LUDA, JAY, BEY, NAS, etc etc...
If it sells he could brag about "pushing the hip hop envelope"... if it flops... he could just say oh well... It wasnt my "real" album... just an "experiement"...and my "real" album is dropping in June.
Every rapper is gonna start doing the same thing...
When Hov dropped a "concept" album (american gangster) everybody compared it to all of the albums that dropped at that time and said it was ass (it really wasnt).
But now.... that Kanye's doing it... yall are giving him a pass???? Interesting....
~Be Eazy!
This album is straight up FRISBY material!
If this SHIT was brought out by any "new" artist yall would call it straight "cheeks"! This album is booty!
Flat, saggy, sweaty, stinky, cellulicious, freckled, trailor trash booty!
And for the record... Anyways doesnt compare to "Party All The Time".
~Be Eazy!
HIT! He's really reached out to the pop audience this year with the different direction he's going it! He's trying to bring pop back, you know the good pop, the Michael Jackson pop, he's doing a good job bringing it back after Britney Spears and Soulja Boy totally killed it!
Because Kanye's lyrics mean something! T-Pain's lyrics don't mean shit!
i think he made this for all his white fans out there (no offense)
uuuummmm...when u listen to the songs back to back like that it sounds like he tryna make a 1984 r&b album...definitely not my vibe....
Is eddie murfy useing a vocorder?
PIECE OF SHITTTTT. if i wanted to hear someone with a bad voice sing with something that was played out by '91 id listen to lil wayne. n considering there is a track wit him on it, should b a pretty gay album.
hes obviously making this cd for ladies so idk y any of u would buy it. i like r n b, but only when r n b singers actually sing on it. i dont like rappers singing n i dont buy r n b anyway. not only will i not buy this, i wont even dl it. n ive bought all his previous cds so FUCK U KANYE WEST y dont u b like real rappers n get bitches just cuz u got money? or stop fuckin with sluts? idk but this nigga is really botherin me.
o n i wish i could go back to yesterday n write wiz 101 name in the damn election dis dude always has a way of sayin exactly what i feel only better n quicker. respect dude i didnt even think of that theory
ill cop it.. kanye is mad talented. this is good shit. it's gonna go over some peoples heads no doubt about it but it's just exposing the different variety of music thats out there. it aint always about listening to gangsta shit. this kid is a producer. he knows whats G.O.O.D music (pun intended)
Welcome to heartbreak details his trials as he compares other people's happiness to his situation, Heartless is my favorite, Love Lockdown grew on me, Amazing I felt could have been better, including Jeezy's verse, Paranoid has that throwback feel which to me will be on repeat, while robocop is a song I can relate to about a girlfriend always snooping around, Street Lights is a nice track, Bad news was boring and the only track that I dont Like, The joint with with lil wayne has the magic there, but it seems they both miss the target, I would have loved to hear kanye rap on that beat. Coldest Winter Is on reapeat aswell. You have to Give Kanye credit for goin outside the box and still making quality music that regular people can feel, Which is something He's been known for since College Dropout. Everything He's been through has accumalated into his most personal yet In my opinion. Let us not forget that andre 3000 did something similar on The love below. I'd give this album a 3 out of 5. I dont believe it's a Rap record, but simply a Hip-Pop album showcasing an megastar dancing on the boundaries to greatness
ima cop this shit i always buy albums dl for broke ass niggas
i might just buy it for someone gift or some shit
i might just accidently download all 12 songs
This nigga is not gonna go plat n hes gonna do wat he does best throw a motherfucking fit at some award show like the bitch nigga he is. REAL TALK!
Lookin forward to hearing the full album tho
Naw brah he'll probably go platinum in the 1st week. Only the hip hop boards are hating. Everybody else is prasing this shit. You got to love his creativity and talent
Kanye West took a risk on this one...
This genre appeals to girls and the fans of "lollipop music", but to me, it doesnt...
Ralph Nader has a better chance of becoming president then Kanye does of delivering a classic album...
hahah and Party all the time...hell yeah!
I was feeling Eddie Murphy more then ANY of Kanye's latest shit
Yes i will buy that shit,its from the heart fuck all haters,i love all the tracks leaked so far,its a great moment for kanye and his true fans,he is smart,creative,giftd minded,he got balls to release a album like that,i mean we should just enjoy it and hope on his next album to be droped 09 june will be the real kanye we know,i hope after this one he will put that auto tune shit to bed
Eddie Murphy > new Kanye
fuck no I wont be buying that trash
i dont here the correllation between anyways and party all the time maybe a lil bit but na not really maybe im too blowed or something
I Think People Are Nuts If They Don't Buy or at Least Download this cd I think It has the Makings Of a Complete album The Songs are Different Which Is Refreshing Compared to Most Of the music On The Radio...
ITS NOT A RAP ALBUM STOP TREATING IT LIKE ONE WORLD!!!!!
kanye went straight pop on this so im not even gonna touch it... ill wait for his shit that drops in june
I don't see anything wrong with him being creative but I personaly don't like any of the songs I've heard. I don't buy c.d.s because the artist is being creative, I buy c.d.s because I want to enjoy listening to them so I won't be buying this one.
I don't listen to pop so I'm not buying it.
I'm not supporting this album i might coincidentally download a few songs over time.
i trashed you becuase you didnt use coincidentally correctly...
i Agree with you baystate. People you have to think outside the box for this album. I Think it gonna be a good album but it's gonna Miss because everybody doesn't like New. People are stuck in their old ways, they want to hear the old kanye or the old wayne. You can't stay the same forever because people get tired of it. Ask Big Daddy Kane. He is one of the best rappers Ive heard but he never changed his style. Now look at him, his career wasn't so promising. You see How Wayne's career Boosted ever since he changed his style up a bit. You have to stay relevant in the industry today. As u can see alot a that gangsta rap and stuff like that aint gettin no spin on the radio. All you hear is singing and Snap music, So kanye is trying to keep up with the game. Speakin of change: Get Out of your old ways and Vote for change. UNO OUT!
u got it twisted man. i feel wat u saying about moving wit the times and shit but could u imagine HOV switching his style up and singin wit a vocoder ??? naah
its not about being stuck in your "old ways" ; i am a fan of true hip hop and so are most of the niggas on this site (i hope) so why would i go out and spend my hard earned cheese to cop this "popped out" joint of kanye's ??? you can call it going in a new direction but i just call it lame. this nigga kanye is now on some rapper ternt singer shit and it really doesnt fit him....if this is what hip hop has come to today then i gotta say its really depressing, so i will be patiently waiting for Em, Luda and Dre to drop their shit and take us back to the roots of this rap shit.
its deiierent..im buying it
*****Different
no chance of me buying
heartless is the only ok track and i haven't even listened to that since the first day i heard it
im kanye fan..but i aint buyin this...heartless is a good track..n im not gonna lie i'll play some pop singin like shit too but these songs hes puttin out are not even like good that type of music..just not feelin it..im pretty sure he said hes gonna have another cd comin out in the spring n its supposed to be gettin back to hiphop..hopefully
i bet if 50 made an R&B album like that
he'd get criticize from head to toe
agree 100%
lol he wouldnt be criticized, he would be fuckin crucified.
Yeah but that's because 50 can't sing Kanye can actually sing!
Wrong, the problem is he can't sing. It really pisses me off when people like him and pharrell make a entire album or song singing like they have talent in that department, THEY DON'T. I don't want to hear him whining off key for and hour, and no amount of vocoder will fix that. At least T-pain isn't completely tone deaf.
By the way, Jokesta you truly are a child of the 80s if you thought of "party all the time" when you heard that track.
this is one album that should be shelved, pushed waaaaaayyyy baaaaaackkk
this shit is straight up wack.. i like kanye.. but hes obviously doin it just to sell and be different.. but he aint gettin my money.. and i prolly aint even gona dl this shit cuz i know its wack before i hear the rest
man this album is gonna be wack all da track I heard so far are wack
Ye you should chill with that vocoder bullshit. I need some hardcore hip hop!
i aint even gonna lie its gonna be neither because in the end of the day sales wont make an album a hit or a miss. it is the persons sole opinion. some might think 808's is nice others may think its not. i will still cop it to show support to kanye and after i listen to it i will determine whether it is weak or not.
opinion: so far the best albums in my mind were not even hyped much.
my 2 top albums of 08:
Akrobatik-absolute value (appearances by little brother, b-real, talib kweli)
Murs-Murs for president (nice album from one of my favorite underground artists)
this album is special and different
Its different. This will be a mixed bag of varying opinions, it's a hit or miss depending on the listener. I will buy the cd regardless, because I'm a huge YE fan, just hope he gets back to spittin on the album in June.
i dont understand some of yall 4real......im lovin the tracks he's been putting out...and not cause its kanye..but because its art..not meaningless jimber
its fucked up how niggahz think he's trippin just because he chose to make a album that heavily consist on singing......but if he was to rap the same rhymes they would be tight to some of you on defsounds.....
one thing iv noticed about this site is there s a lot of judges on here who never have legit reasons to not like something besides its not hard enough......
niggahz dont make music for g points or hip hop point.they make it because its what they feel ... and if u aint feelin it that just means your not on the same page as them.....when there are more people who feel what he's making..............
how the fuck do you figure these songz are trash when there remakes..............
other than robocop........FUCK THIS IM bUYIN THE SHIT
i'm not buying this... i don't want no boohoo i need you/what did you do to me or any shit like that. if i want to listen to music like that, i rather listen to real singers...
Kanye is going to do G-Unit numbers for this album..and im not gonna help boost those numbers, its a no for mee =]
listening to these tracks all i gotta say is that i am full of disapointment. im gonna giv kanye props for having the balls to try and do something different but this shit is just straight up wack. i think the worst is that robocop joint....
with that said, in terms of sails i dont think it will do that badly cuz pop fans will probably cop this shit just cuz its kanye.
hip hop is dead.
( for now )
i think this album is gonna be wack. college dropout, late registration, & graduation were classics. this album sounds like a emo album. it doesnt fit his steez. and the t-pain shit is wack, so hes killing himself rite now
i fuck wit kanye but he could have dropped this album without the t-pain shit he what Mc Cain did when he picked Palin at the end of the day gimmicks r just gimmicks. I lost a little respect for kanye 's creativity... oh yeah Vote Obama
In fairness, I Like T-Pain, always thought he music was pretty good. Whats is annoyin me so many talented rappers and talented singers using it when thye don't need too. Not taken shots at just Wayne cause he aint the only guy using it. That just my opinion
And I always like Kanye West. Imma buy this. And don't hate if people don't like it or don't buy it, everyone has they own opionion. :]
This shit goin be cool....he's going to go platinum, cuz when it boils down to it.....when haven't heard the other tracks on the album....heartless, coldest winter, and love lockdown are the shit.....they are different but, they tight....this nigga being real....most niggas mad cuz they ain't in his spot right now......oh, robocop is wack as hell
There's no way in Hell I will buy this. As far as I'm concerned I've heard 5 songs from the album and four of them have been blanks. There's too much good shit coming out in December, and it's not about the money. I just refuse to pay for a lame product like this album.
nah youll stupid kanye going plat even if he is dropping the worst album of the year and he know that thats why he doing it
Im sorry folks but Im starting to think kanye really is a peter puffer!!! jus playing ppl. but on the real I can only picture white chix and ppl who sport a rainbow bumpersticker on thier car in traffic bumping this emo music.and no offense the the gay members of def sounds.I was only kidding if u can take a dick u can take a joke.OH yeah shit is WAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Shit, im just going to download his album, cant knock off Kanye west swagger,
Eddie Murphy that shit was the bomb man, he probably did get this from Eddie Murphy
Yeah im buying into it. I think at the end of the day. Its all about how you relate to a song. People who rap about the hustle all the time and the struggle arent goeing to appeal to someone who has had it mad easy their whole life. I mean people whole call the album garbage its just their opinon. I cant knock you for not likeing it. But I LIKE IT cause Ive been through the same things Kanye has. Was damn close to losing a love one. SO i can identify with him. Its nothing better than listening to artist who says things that you can relate to completely. Sometimes when you think of something that hurts so bad you cant speak on it. And the only reason to heal from that shit is to listen for someone to share an similar experince. And it helps just to know your not the only one goen through this.
Kanye what the fuck are u doing ?
its better than i thought.....i might buy it based on the fact i am rrreeeeally feeling heartless, robocop and coldest winter...
na im coo on this kanye im not knockin him but im just not feelin it.........
I HOPE YALL WENT OUT N VOTED.. REAL TALK
Needs to up his Swag and elevate his game
Shit I like da new shit.......the shit need 2 b different.....but I like most of the song except robocop datz suspect lol.....but a weak album by kanye will always be better than an album from Weezy Fukkin Baby lol
And no Bangers
huge kanye fan, definitely NOT buying this one. Hopefully whoever his target audience is buys it, for his sake. I have high hopes for the album coming in june.
by the way, i voted for McCain
ya dun fucked up
