808s and Heartbreak

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.
