Coldest Winter is a Tears for Fears song, not something Kanye wrote for his mom. He added one or two lines. Get some knowledge on musical history. A great original song, a decent cover.

when i first heard that kanyes new album was gunna have him singin throughout the album i jus gave up on him. i threw him in the hole with lil wayne and stopped listening to him for a while.then i started listenin to his old stuff and his verse from put on and im like what am i doing? he nothing like weezy. so i started listenin to 808s and it grew on me.
@everyone
the album is not suppose to be like graduation and college dropout. kanye was bein creative to express himself and how he was depressed. jus appreciate it shit. how would you rap about your fiance hurting and leaving you ova some super hiphop beat? that wuld sound akward.and it not like he gave up on rappin, u heard go hard and put on he sill a beast on the mic. RELAX he coming out with his RAPPING album in da summer so jus chill and let 808s grow on you or jus listen to his old stuff till he release rappin stuff or numba 5 leaks or wuteva.kanye a beast and very creative.if you not feelin 808s thats you dont try the man face for it i dont see you releasing a album thats gunna go gold or thats bein creative. leve him alone shit.

The album is about his girlfriend breaking up with him! No one gives a fuck. Especially when its not done the right way.

The beats would work on a pop or vocal album, but not with Kanye’s vocals. His singing is weak and a lot of times off beat. And the voice decoder is just gay.

Some songs are just pointless (RoboCop, Bad News, See You In My Nightmares – h20 how do you like this song?). Others were a good idea, but didn’t just work (Coldest Winter, Pinnochio Story – too much high pitched screaming).

Top 3: Heartless, Love Lockdown, Paranoid

Grade: (1.5/5) D- (It’s grown on me a little, from F to D, basically for the musical vibes)

*And I’m not a Kanye hater. I thought his first three albums were good, but he should just stick to producing.

I agree with SBK and DGAF, but really man….. If you want to make the transition, it’s gotta be slicker than this.
Everybody kept bringing up 3 Stacks, but I don’t remeber 3 Stacks catchin any flack like Kanye is getting because he made a SMOOTH, EASILY ENJOYABLE, and SMART transition into his “niche”.
808’s and Heartbreak is….. weird. I know this is cliched, but there’s a fine line between brilliance and insanity and Kanye is doing a damn good job masking his insanity as brilliance…

This is a nice review that you did for Kanye’s album H20. I’m the same with you in a fact that this album is still trying to sink in with me just because it’s not a typical Hip-Hop/Rap album. I think Kanye is good for being different and going outside of the box with an album like this. I downloaded this album and after listening to it a few times I’m going to go out a pick the album.

Not too many rappers or artists in general would be brave enough to make an album of another genre, and that’s kind of what sets Kanye apart from other artists nowadays. Too many of them are afraid to step outside of their “boundaries” and do something different. They’re afraid that people won’t accept it and that they’ll be looked down on for it. Bump that, we need more artists like Kanye, Andre 3000, etc. who aren’t afraid to test the waters and go against the grain.

This album isn’t as bad as people want to make it to be. They just don’t want to accept it because it’s not “typical” Kanye and he’s trying something different. This is an album that’s going to be appreciated with time. I don’t know if I would call it classic, but I would definitely say it’s groundbreaking. Watch, see how many other rappers and artists try something different and new just because Kanye was one of the first to do it.

To quote The Cool Kids…”People are just losers, and they’ll do anything if someone cool do it, but they won’t do it first” (Real Talk!!!)
