when 808's & Heartbreaks came out, i really thought Kanye West had lost his damn mind. like, i couldn't wrap my head around what it was that he was shooting for with that album. like, how do you go from Graduation to that? lol -- but as time went on & reading more & more of his responses as to what 808's & Heartbreaks meant to him & what it took to create it, it was brilliant.
808's is one of those albums where its not just consistent in holding down that title's meaning but other meanings as well. 808's is for anyone with an addiction. 808's is for anyone who sees things before they happen. 808's is for those who can't fight confusion by themselves. 808's is an album that brings suffocation to those who don't believe that your words induce feelings & emotions.. to those who believe feelings & emotions are non-existent to many people.
808's teaches us that you can make a wrong turn with your heart, just as well as your mind. it teaches us sincerity & should enlighten us on the mind OF Kanye West. 808's has taught me that i'm not the only dude that has felt like sht will shatter at the slightest touch i may give. its taught me that transformation needs to happen before the transfer of information starts. 808's & Heartbreaks can take hold of you for the hour that it is declarated in time & for that hour, you're not here..
its going to take you & help you block out everything around you & show you formally what you're dealing with & how to extinguish whats being shown.
808's has shown me that MY heartbreaks weren't in vain & that they were to teach me lessons about my own heart & conscience. its amplified my ability to see/witness things before they actually happen & warn those who are seen to be mentally unprepared.. its taken me to a new plateau in understanding what it is i have to do to keep the warmth of my own heart/emotions before anyone ELSE can.. starting with what i see at night.
808's & Heartbreaks.
"..i've seen it before."
