To hear him say 'I'm glad someone else likes the album other than just me' is just so jarring considering how beloved the album is now and how many people it touched, really shows how different the reception was at the time.

crazy to know that Michael Jackson, who changed music forever since Thriller, loved 808s and is one of the many reasons Kanye made this album, and now this album is one of the greatest and changed music too.

need more interviews from this era of Kanye

I know his heart was heavy during this era

I love tht ye came out and expressed himself for black kids tht had more appreciation for more styles of music then gangsta rap, which is cool but he made it cool to be different

People know MBDTF was made AFTER 808s right? Idk what’s with everyone saying he sucked from 808s? Plus, 808s is still an amazing album (and personally my favorite Kanye album) and legit that album is the reason why hip hop has changed and impacted so much after the 2000’s!

pastel never blew like it should... that jacket is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

With the Rare Pastelle On...Legendary

Yall dont understand. This era of Ye was very much needed. I can remember being around my friends dressing very preppy, business like with relax colors and cardigans, sweaters, and scarfs with messenger bags. Being a 🤓 a fan of music, the afternoon brunches, the calm night life with good music playing. My friend nick had this dope highrise apartment where we all meet and just kick it. Poem nights, open house talents. Now I am 30 its was such a beautiful time with this beautiful album

They will tell you Kanye has changed, NOPE! He’s still has the same mindset on everything including family. Today he has his fourth child and his own family CONGRATULATIONS! Kanye for nothing let media control and cage you🤷🏾‍♀️🇳🇬

It's marked Kanye as being such a versatile artist, who is now worthy of being ranked alongside the best innovators in music, that took something and made it all their own: David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Roxy Music, Ministry, Diana Ross, Led Zeppelin, Devo, The Bee Gees, "Screaming" Jay Hawkins, etc., etc.
