It was such a departure from his then current style, and he was pretty much 3 steps ahead of everyone else in the music industry, including the critics. They eventually caught on when he dropped MBDTF (which is his masterpiece and is maybe even MORE influential on music now, imagine Take Care or Channel Orange without MBDTF). 808s was the album that allowed him to explore more 'indie-centric' sounds, and took the focus off him as a 'rapper' and put it on him being a 'pop artist', with him singing more than rapping. His next 2 albums took that sound to its logical extremes; MBDTF blew everything up to epic proportions, Yeezus stripped everything back to barebones. So 808s is probably the most important album in Kanye's career; It allowed him to work outside the confines of being a 'rapper'.
He was now exploring pop and indie, while still keeping hip hop elements. You can hear a clear difference between 'old' and 'new' Kanye and 808s is the dividing line. Usually, 'new Kanye' fans rank it is one of his best, 'old Kanye' fans think it's one of his worst.
Is the fourth studio album by American hip hop artist, released November 24, 2008 on Roc-A-Fella Records. It was recorded after the death of his mother and breakup of a relationship and has a very different sound compared to his previous albums. The album was originally scheduled for a December 16 release, but was pushed forward to increase sales during the holiday season. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
