To completely change everything and transform into something or someone that is unrecognizable and less likable then who or what they were before. Referring to Kanye West's transformation from "Graduation" to "808's and Heartbreak" from a brilliant rap artist to an unoriginal auto-tuned sellout.

808 means more than a number and way more than one word; it's definition is extensive. 808 stands for family, friends, blood, crew, clique, love, home, authentic, having fun, minding your own business. 808 is REAL.
"I love my 808 family"
"I'm riding around in the Chevy listening to Lil Wayne, 808"
"Where are you? I'm at 808"
"Are you going out tonight? No, I'm kicking it with my 808 family"

Kanye West's fourth full-length studio album. This was the album that followed the trilogy College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduated. We see Kanye West in a much more emotional and insecure yet simultaneously egotistical position, after the death of his mother and his public breakup with Amber Rose Mr West is in a very insecure position in his life. The album did not receive the same level of widespread critical acclaim, the album consisted of Kanye West singing rather than rapping. The use of the 808s on the album's instrumentals and the autotune on Mr.West's voice would be the reason the album would serve as a key influence to the future generation of rap. The album's slightly less critically acclaiming views are due to the fact that this album was way ahead of its time.
808s and Heartbreaks is such a personal record, I fail to see why Mr West would publish it rather than keeping it private.
