Kanye’s avant-garde lyricism and use of technology like autotune and the TR-Roland 808 highlight him as not only one of the genre’s elite, but one of the music industry’s best. He uses gospel and mellow tones to evoke emotion to the listener. He introduced jazz and blues to a genre that people thought of as a polar opposite. Even back in 2008, when 808s & Heartbreak debuted, Kanye broke the barriers and norms of hip hop. Kanye has long been touted as one of the musical geniuses of our generation. Kanye West – 808’s & Heartbreak Cover Art One album is scarcely mentioned and happens to be not only Kanye’s best album but the best album of all time: 808s & Heartbreak.
Albums like Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s Kids See Ghosts often make the top 5 with their fusion of psychedelic, gospel, and hip hop influences.
When hip hop fans are asked to name their favorite Kanye Albums, Life of Pablo, College Dropout, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy are the names that come to mind.
