808s & Heartbreak

I’m not the biggest follower of hip hop anymore, but I granted myself one of my true guilty pleasures this morning: listen to the newest Kanye release. A few years ago, I was still purchasing and listening to his music on the regular. These days, well, you know what I listen to. It’s not hip hop. BUT, this album (despite his overdone use of vocoder) is really well produced and it’s a nice bridge between hip hop and mid-skool 808 beats.

I’ll put it on my guilty pleasure playlist (if I ever feel man enough to release such a disaster).
