808s & Heartbreak. Kanye's most controversial album, but also his most real and heartfelt work. He created the album right after multiple events happened in his life that distressed him during the previous year. "808s & Heartbreak marked a major musical departure for Kanye West from his previous work, lyrically, vocally, and production-wise. Classified by West as a "pop" album, 808s & Heartbreak incorporates elements of synthpop, electronica, R&B, and electropop, while its tracks are primarily sung rather than rapped by West and contain lyrical themes such as love, loneliness, and heartache. The album also contains extensive use of the Auto-Tune voice processor" which was quite controversial and gained West lots of negative feedback. Although many people thought it would be a flop, it went on to sell 450,145 units in its first week and overall sell 1.63 million copies in the US.
*My favorite Kanye album ever!*
