Kanye West - “Coldest Winter” & “Robocop”

Kanye West - “Coldest Winter”
This pretty much sums up Kanye’s premise for 808s & Heartbreak: “Sorry, my mom died.” As long as he continues to deliver on the music end, I can’t complain.

Kanye West - “Robocop”
Slightly prettier than “Coldest Winter” but equally emotional. This album should’ve been titled Yeezy’s Diary. I suspect it’ll have “Sorry, my girlfriend dumped me” written all over it as well.

Peep 808s & Heartbreak tracklist below.

  1. “Welcome to Heartbreak”
  2. “Heartless”
  3. “Love Lockdown”
  4. “Robocop”
  5. “Anyway”
  6. “Streetlights”
  7. “Say You Will”
  8. “Real Bad News”
  9. “Amazing” (featuring Young Jeezy)
  10. “Tell Everybody That You Know” (featuring Lil Wayne)
  11. “Coldest Winter”

808s & Heartbreak drops on November 25, 2008.

I like the songs:
- Coldest Winter is a strong song (cover from Tears For Fears)
- Robocop is funny

But I agree, 808’s & Heartbreak has ‘Sorry my mom died’ and ‘Sorry, my fiancee dumped me’ written all over it.

But I don’t complain.

@DJ Hen
November 25 is the date.

7. Mania Says:

Bah. I was diggin’ it at first, but damn the vocoder’s killing me. I’m kind of hoping he drops it (and T-Pain *coughcough*) after this. A little variety would be nice.

8. RAE Says:

fuck this nonsense. why does everyone keep saying, “i cant stand the autotune, but the BEATS ARE AMAZING”, the beats are weak!!! by far the worst of any of his releases. cheesy rhythms, cheesy drums, terribly over simplified. lets be honest with ourselves here, this little experimental project here isnt dope, just because its kanye. shit.

9. RAE Says:

but on the other hand… i cant wait to see dudes who pose as hard ridin around bumpin this bull shit. hahaha, that’ll be laughs.

10. B Rad Says:

damn son why is everyone turned off by this? Ye is bearing his soul on these tracks, yes, aided by the vocoder, but the man is singing straight from the heart. He’s been a creative genius since entering the game, and this transition to singer is no exception. His beats are tight, lyrics raw with emotion, and production (even with the autotune) laced with fiyah.

11. McGowan Says:

The one Kanye CD I won’t bump.

12. J to the AAP Says:

“damn son why is everyone turned off by this? Ye is bearing his soul on these tracks, yes, aided by the vocoder, but the man is singing straight from the heart.”

I wouldn’t mind if he’d gotten a couple singing lessons in stead of just autotuning it. Everything I’ve heard so far sounds annoying as hell. Apathy’s remix > Love Lockdown

If you was given this album and was by some up and coming new artist it would not get any of this hype. Pure shite end of, he on some crystal castle wackness

14. Smooth Da Hustler Says:

Kanye ain’t gonna be able to come back from this one.

15. dre Says:

kanye can do this shit he can do whatever he wants this album is for him and his true fans so im going to cop it twice.

16. RAE Says:

“kanye can do this shit he can do whatever he wants this album is for him and his true fans so im going to cop it twice.”

and thats why you are a fuckin clown.

17. dre Says:

kanye number 1 fan

18. jiggawho Says:

why does kanyes sont cold winter sounds all cheesy when i try to download it on limewire….

19. tru Says:

why are some of you hating so much…these tracks are far from shit…at first i didnt like them…but after you get over the initial shock of how different these songs are…you start to listen and apprectiate them for what they are rather than hate them for what they arent.

Great songs..best in hip hop right now….EAT IT
