808s & Heartbreak.

Overall this album was a Creative Art in my opinion. Heartbreak, the lyrical content dwells on his various pains. On "Welcome To Heartbreak" he sings about his desires to have a family. "Bad News" tells the story of getting the news of his mother's untimely passing. "Amazing" featuring Young Jeezy informs a detractor that no matter how hard they try to discourage him, he will prevail. The rest of the album is focused on girl problems, which i tend to relate with... enough said. Singing about these topics over pulsating ballads gives the songs additional introspective layers that he would not have conveyed had he rapped them. I give him credit for having enough artistic licenses to step outside of the box to push himself to try a different thing as usual. But, you know there's a but. what didn't he rap at least on a song? i don't see this Album selling too much but then again it might based on the inspiration behind the record. There is only one song that ruins the vibe. It's the final track, "Pinocchio Story," a freestyle song recorded live in Singapore. In attempt to justify his penchant for complaining at award shows, fighting with the paparazzi and press, Kanye argues that he's just being honest like Pinocchio. Yes, Pinocchio, the fairytale about the wooden puppet-turned-real boy whose nose grew whenever he told a lie. Not only is this a weird, unlikely metaphor, the song is unedited. They should have left it off the album. But maybe it's included to illustrate the type of creative energy that motivated him to travel down this lane in the first place.
