What can be said about Kanye? He is the closest thing the hip-hop industry has seen to a true revolutionary. Crossing the electro world with hip-hop in last year's mainstay "Stronger" was definitely a bold move and drew criticism from a lot of old-school Kanye fans. However, the song was a hit anywhere from the radio to clubs around the world.
This year, Kanye is taking a whole new spin in showcasing his talents. 808s and Heartbreaks is void of almost any rap and catchy beats, as the new album is almost all solo acts of Kanye singing and messing with the vocoder. My feelings are mixed, so feel free to draw your own conclusions. Here are the top two singles off the album. The "Love Lockdown" remix is a significant improvement off the original.
Kanye West - Heartless
Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Chew Fu Small Room Fix)
Bonus: two awesome Kanye mashups:
Kanye West ft. Common - Get 'Em High (A-Trak Mashup)
DJ Earworm - Reckoner Lockdown (Kanye vs. Radiohead)
