Kanye West has a lot to be thankful for. His fourth album 808’s & Heartbreak which was released on 25th November 2008 is on pace to sell between 450-500,000 copies based on first-day estimates. That would make this Kanye’s third biggest debut of his career (following Graduation and Late Registration) and his third No. 1 album “808’s and heartbreak”. I had a listen to it even before it was released (thanks to World Wide Web).The first song of the album to hit the TV screens was the African based “Love Lockdown”. The video featured Kanye with a few African people playing their traditional drums. The second track “Heartless” is another track which proved really booming having its place among the top ten on the billboard hot charts. Kanye has been performing these two tracks live in shows on TV, one I saw was the Late Night Show with Conan ’O Brian. Two more must listen tracks from the album are “Robocop” that tells the modern version of Charles Dickens’s “Great Expectations” and “She’s a Nightmare” which is a fun song to listen to. As a whole Kanye didn’t do as much as I expected him to but as I said in my previous post, he might have won the most record sales challenge from 50cent but he cannot be compared to the superiority of 50’s music. Above is an album cover of Kanye’s “808’s and Heartbreak”.
