Love is A Muthaf****r

Kanye West knows it best.  His new album 808’s and Heartbreak is the best testament.  808s deals with not only his mother’s death (the album contains a poster of West and his mum), but his split with fiancee Alexis Phifer. 

 I feel you Kanye life can be a B***h. 

When asked about a leaked conference call with his record company to set up 808s,  West was reported to say the following about recording an album during the worst time of his life ‘‘it’s a better option than suicide”.

West says the recent tragedy in his life has given him an attitude readjustment.

‘‘Now I don’t boast. I say things out loud to give me reason to keep doing it, to keep moving on at this point. I say ‘I am the voice of a generation’ to say that I’m not just doing this for me. God puts me through these situations to be able to be a vessel and be expressive. People need to hear the pain I’m going through right now to know they’re not alone in what they’re going through.”

So are he and T-Pain competing for best Roger and Zapp impersonation? Kanye might win. His upbeat tracks do feel like you need to put on like shiny leggings, or throw on your best Kangol and hit the floor.

The album was created in three weeks, he sings rather than raps most of the tracks with the help of an autotune machine, the secret savior of everyone from Britney to Madonna as it digitally corrects flat vocals.

I am conflicted about the album, its different and genius takes stepping out of the ordinary.  But, aside from a complete album sounding like someone is speaking through a harmonica…..its depressing as hell.  I kind of feel like we are stuck in that part of “The Wedding Singer” where Adam Sandler sings “Love Stinks” in a drunken rant at a wedding. I mean literally I am scared those cats on the verge of suicide might just off themselves listening to these tracks.

Kanye….we are kind of worried about you. You can’t go giving your awards away all willy nilly when you just ranted about how you weren’t getting them last week. One of the first signs of depression and suicide is when people start giving possessions away.

Can love really make you this depressed?

What do you think of the album and Kanye’s current state of mind?
