I think Kanye is a creative dude, he's original. This is a new sound, some people will like it, and who knows, maybe it'll blow up. But I'ma be mad if I start hearin this crap on the R&B station.
It's hard to get past the auto-tune, but if you actually just listen to the lyrics, it's not bad at all.
Street Lights:
Let me know
Do I still got time to grow
Things ain't always set and stone
Let me know, Let me know
Let me
Seems life
Street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like mornings
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I'm just not there
In the streets (x2)
I'm just not there
In the streets
I'm just not there
Life's just not fair
Seems like street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowing
Happen to be just like moments
Passing, in front of me
So I hopped in
The cab and I paid my fairs
See I know my, destination
But I'm just not there
In the streets (x2)
I'm just not there
In the streets
I'm just not there
Life's just not fair
Life's just not fair

I give him credit because he's always been a great producer and has a unique sound, but my thing is this just ain't R&B at all lol. But I don't think his music quality has lowered with this, I just think a lot of people have a hard time with the new sound, and the autotune.

And showtime, you have to admit that this is more R&B than it is rapping. I've heard a few songs on the album, and its him trying to sing, I've yet to hear him rap.

@ Dev: I'm not suggesting this is a hip-hop album, but it's far from R&B, if you judge it in terms of either genre you're not looking at it right because I don't think that's what he was aiming for. It's just... different.

Offering a select panel of journalists and guests to attend the exclusive listening session, West selected Italian artist Vanessa Beecroft to set the stage as attendees were given a first-ever listen to Ye's full album.
According to The Fader, the audience was greeted to an unusual setting as Beecroft's artistry was in full effect helping illustrate West's mind set for his new album.
"After waiting in a loading area with an open bar and a DJ, we walked up a driveway illuminated by florescent lights to a darkened room where approximately forty nude women, most of them wearing face-obscuring masks seemingly made of faux lamb's wool, stood in the middle -- black girls in the front, white girls in the back," a Fader journalist wrote. "Mos Def sat down front-and-center, Michael Rapaport talked excitedly to the security guards, Will.i.am watched from one end of the U the audience formed around the women, Rick Ross watched from the other end."
While hinting at a few guest appearances including the only rap verse coming courtesy of Young Jeezy on "Amazing" and a duet with Lil' Wayne, Fader also offered their views on what the project aims for.
"Once the album ended with "Coldest Winter" -the one song on the album about his mother, the rest of this breakup album is about "someone else- West appeared with a microphone," Fader wrote. "West delivered a monologue about how this album is about the freedom to do what you want to do and that he used Auto-Tune because it is the most fun thing ever."
Other accounts by attendees like journalists from Myspace's A Place For Hip Hop also offered a variety of paraphrased words from Mr. West himself including his decision to sing throughout the entire disc.
"If I wanna rap, I'll rap," he said. "If I wanna sing, I'll sing. I told Jay, L.A Reid and everyone at my label that I needed to put this out right now, I'll have another album in June, but this has to come out right now. The way these songs connect with you, God uses me as a vessel- he puts me through pain so that I can go through it, and create..."
Admitting that the album was put together in the time span of three weeks while in the 808 area code of Hawaii, Ye's current hit single "Love Lockdown" continues to dominate charts.
808's and Heartbreak is currently scheduled to hit shelves on Tuesday, November 25 via Def Jam.
It's a good read.
