My friend Nicole in Amsterdam put me on to her friend’s music blog: All Things Go. I checked it out today and read an interesting op-ed about Kanye’s new style.

For those of you who don’t know, 808s and Heartbreaks is an album stocked with R&B type songs that feature ‘Ye “singing” through Antares Autotune, more commonly known as “that program that T-Pain uses to make his voice do that thing.” Upon hearing this news, I was devastated. Not only can I not stand that kind of music or singing one bit, but I expected an even more dance-able, radio-ready output from one of my favorite rappers. Then I got to thinking. If Kanye decided to make his new album an extension of the synth-heavy and hook-laden Late Registration or Graduation, he would just be making more of the same. If he went back to his percussion and lyricism-heavy style featured on College Dropout, he’d be taking a step backwards in terms of creativity.

    it would be nice if people stop making excuses for this guy. If it’s not as good as his other CDs don’t be afraid to critize this guy. I like kanye but I dislike this cd.. Some songs are good and creative but his expression of the emotion was muffleld in the auto-tunes..
