"my friend showed me pictures of his kids, and all i could show him was pictures of my cribs" materialisim and superficiality summed up in one sentence. THE 🐐
My brother was a big kid cudi fan and he introduced me to kid cudi but I didn’t fully hear kid cudi until day and night was on mtv on 2009, 12 years later I got a poster, brought his 2 CD, got his whole album category on iTunes, got shirts off him, got a vinyl of him and the only thing that made me fucken jelly is that my older bother seen kid cudi concert twice and then a 3rd time on velvet with Steve aoki lol lucky bastard he is
One of the most underrated songs of Kanye in my opinion. Everytime I listen, I can not stop singing along. It should have more than 100 million views no doubt
Kief Lips You probably haven't seen the comments on any Social Media post with "Kanye" in...or you haven't heard the fact that over 50,000 people signed a petition to stop Kanye West from headlining Glastonbury just like last week.
This is one of my favorite songs by Kanye West because Kid Cudi's hook is so addictive and the piano is super memorable. I'm addition it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Whenever I tell people about Kanye all the think of is Gold Digger and the song he made with Lil Pump, and they refuse to believe he is a talented artist. I ask any of these people if they have listened to one album besides Graduation, and they never have.
u don’t really realize how huge Kanye was until u listen to his older albums and realize how many of these songs you’ve heard when u were a kid and how big of hits they are
I remember buying this album as a 19 year old… not knowing what any of these songs meant on the album… now I’m 33 and successful… have mostly everything I want… I chased the dream I chased the “good life” moved away from friends and family to pursue… but in the process I missed out on friends family and a meaningful social life… the top is lonely… you almost can’t have both.. sacrifice … now everyone has passed on or moved on … welcome to heartbreak… This album hits different now… welcome to heartbreak…
I'm a flat out metalhead and I can appreciate other genres and tastes if they've been done with soul. This song is amazing and beautiful. It's not only musical, but so well thought out and emotional. Absolute gem in a world of fakeness, narcissism and dystopia.
Big Saq for that reason hes the goat in rap for me he straight up changes the genre for ever. Hes one of the few rappers Im proud to listen to his music.
Without this album there would be no: Travis scott, asap rocky, tyler the creator( iffy) lil uzi vert, young thug, etc. All the rappers who were teens when this shit dropped are startin to pop off.
You forgot the main artist of this generation: Drake. Without 808s, so far gone wouldn't even exist. Young Thug got his style from Wayne and those other niggas are trash
This was so ahead of it’s time in every aspect. I always find myself coming back to this years later and it still sounds amazing! This is what you call a classic song that can stand the test of time. A song that breaks boundaries. Visually, it looks like it could’ve been released this year.
@@kingprairie wanted to hate on it but it’s good in it’s own way. They portray it as a psychedelic trip. However, I feel like Kanye’s vocals and mood matches the video more. Like what is reality after Heartbreak? Also, Kanye’s video came out first fyi.
Zach Zarek His earlier albums are certainly a different style to his later ones no doubt. However being a fan of his entire discography I love the way he has constantly innovated and changed his style. You might call it selling out, personally I don't believe that to be the case. I think as an artist he wanted to explore different aesthetic avenues and I love him for it.
Zach Zarek what are you talking about...? His old shit was good, yes, but then he evolved and the game evolved with him. 808's changed the whole game... I can list so many instances where kanye spilt some real shit and nobody listened because it was kanye west.
criminally underrated. I can see why Kanye is mad at the world, He never gets the level of recognition he truly deserves. Undeniably, Kanye has had a big influence on the new generation of rappers like Kendrick, Travis Scott and Drake. They have recognized that.... But the world hasn't. If i was creating amazing music and people are jacking my style and i never got that recognition, i would go mad.
After separating from my wife and my kids going to live with their mother..... this entire album gave me the energy needed to carry on. My career did survive the Heartbreaks but i was able to get custody of all my children. If not for this album i may have stayed in a dark place. Looking back to this album and bringing things forward to current time... wow Kanye
I think this might be his most underrated song. The other singles from this album way overshadowed it. And honestly it might be the best of the singles artistically.
cod500 this is his best song. It gives me ghost bumps every time I hear it. The pain of being lonely, the realization he has nothing to show for expect materialistic things, the usage of 808s it’s all perfect.
@@DuksiAntonDedvukaj687D not trying to sound cringe worthy or anything, but this is dealing with some very real emotional pain, that doesn't quite resonate with mainstream at the moment.
I feel like kanye produces music ahead of its time. Really from future. Even the videos are way to futuristic at the time. How’s this album not received Grammy???
Jobs mine albums ahead of their time never get awards. You can look back and see how people shitted on this album. So crazy in hindsight. I even remember Stephen Colbert trashing the album on his show... but kanye don’t care he’s gonna be creative to the end
For those that don't know, the weird glitching effect this video uses is called "datamoshing". Never thought I'd see that in a music video, especially in 2009 when nobody really knew how to do it! Looks awesome.
Hardest line on the album. Low key expresses how that cake could have suppressed his hunger. Very deep. Maybe his head was spinning from low blood pressure, due to lack of food and that cake would have increased his blood pressure to a more stable number. It’s all about perspective
How? Thriller and 808s or Thriller and MBDTF have no major thematic similarities, they're in different genres, the creative processes of the album were different, they're remembered for different reasons, etc. If anything I'd say FutureSex/LoveSounds is the closest we have to a Thriller but even then these are all unique albums that should stand on their own merit rather than being compared with each other.
Kaizer.Beatz The similarity with MDBTF and Thriller was the 44 minute Runaway visual film, plus the production and the sequencing of the album from start to finish. Music media people were comparing Ye to Quincy Jones because of the production and how he brought different artists together to make posse cuts like Monster and So Appalled. But I feel you it should be standing on its own and not compared to Thriller.
Im 15 this album helped me alot like, we were living in this house with no lights and we just got robbed. And my mom was like you gotta hear this album. At that time im between 5 or 6. We were back and forth from house to house. She had like a mp3 player or some shit and i used to steal it and hide in the closet and cry to this whole album.(Keep in mind we had actual cd's at this point) I never really understood the album cause i was young and naive but as i got older shit beggined to sound a little different. Words were clearer,it made a lot more sense,and it all came together. Kanye and Cudi are my two heroes. Cudi helped me through 4th grade.
Glad to hear you're still grinding! Tough times dont last, tough people do!!! Cudi helped me alot thru my life and I'm 28 now. I was the teenager when he legit first came out, he would record in my boys appartment. I'd stan his music and him , and how great that he created his own lane for music and how people can relate to this new type of emotion. Based and just out of world space type music and sound he was creating. Go listen to passion pain and demon slaying by him. That album will show you life situations, feelings and perspectives.
Like being used by Trump to steal votes? Yes he's a genius but also he's a very lost individual which is what he's expressing on this album his heartbreaking because he lost his guide/ his mom.
808 heartbreak was his best album period. You can tell Kanye was in a dark place. The music was everything. Not too often you play an album from start to finish and not skip a song. Wish he could do something like this once more.
I'm a 39 year old white dude, and this is maybe my favorite album of all time. I also maybe biased because it helped me get through a very dark time in my life, let me feel that someone else had intense pain like me and that I could get through it.
Nothing wrong with that, Kanye’s music got a lot of people through tough times, including me, which is why I can never turn my back on his no matter how crazy he is
Sitting in park with my son, he sleeps. I enjoy the silence. Then RUclips gave me this MASTERPIECE. 15 years has past, im almost 40 years old...It was a very good year.
This is my 2nd favorite Ye song. The melody is so infectious and haunting. Cudi is perfect on the hook, and the visual takes it over the top. Have tip stop myself from playing it over and over every time I think about it
it was alright, but super disappointing since his first album was SO GOOD and so unique that I expected a lot more. I also heard that he stopped smoking weed after his first album because he was so dependent and solved a lot of issues in his life. so I'm happy for the person Scott messicudi but disappointed in the artist kid cudi.
Listening to these songs makes me realize that Kanye is the Michael Jordan of music for my generation. This dude no matter how “crazy” he might be is a musical genius in every sense of the word. This video is light years ahead of its time. This video could release today and it would fit in perfect. Kanye is truly the GOAT.
Album is such a standalone in his discography. When it dropped it received criticism for not aligning with his previous work. It dropped in the fall/beginning of winter and fit the time perfectly! What a complete album!
Welcome To Heartbreak hit different once you in yo mid 20s 😭💯 I Was in 8th grade when this album dropped I couldn’t feel everything YE was saying until now
@@gzarari plot twist, "crazy people" enjoy their own company at a disturbing rate you cant believe. They are lonely when with people and their best companion is their mind.
future hofer Travis has always said that Kid Cudi was his main motivator as an artist to make music. And I think people with a bigger emotional intellect prefer Cudi over Drake, although, it’s your opinion.
@@katerappaport7071 Kid Cudi is overrated and makes trash music, unless there is a feature there The only thing he better than Drake is at humming lmao
@@futurehofer1564 Travis said in his interview that cudi saved his life and bruh cudi> drake . drake is overrated he has bangers but no, cudi is better
So many people hating on Kanye when he is one of the most successful and influential individuals of our generation. Successful producer, multiple succesful albums, 21 grammys, successful fashion designer, always speaks the truth and believes in what he says, not trying to please anyone.
Best song on the Album. It may be his best song ever based on how relevant it became to his life. His whole life is heartbreak. Destined to be misunderstood. Destined to be overlooked and judged by people who don't even listen to the music. Even now, Kanye's head keeps spinning, he can't stop having these visions, he's gotta get with it. The video is a true match to the message. It matches his career. If you look honestly, you can see Kanye in the distractions, but you look superficially, you see malfunctioning garbage.
2:04 “I’ve seen it before” “i’ve seen it before” it all makes sense he saw the industry’s future before.Thats the reason his music was so ahead of time......
Dont know if this was intentional or not, but the fact that this is so purposefully glitchy, also in an era when we didnt have HD, this video aesthetic literally aged incredibly well with its 480p max resolution. Genius. Watching in 2020 feels like this video is trying to load itself up to HD but simply can't.
It's really bothers me how this album is so hated by some people. If they took the time to just listen and not just hear the word auto tune and lose there mind and lose that stupid bias. The album was truly great. Thank You Kanye.
+Fred I dont know if it's necessarily hated. It was still a huge critical success and I think the majority of Kanye fans enjoy the album. People are definitely harsher on it because it's much less rapping but really Kanye has always been more a producer than pure rapper and this album shows so much talent and process in that regard. The biggest reason why it's the Black Sheep of his discography too is that it was by far the least promoted. 808s came out during the Taylor Swift MMVA thing so at that time people really hated on Kanye. It was a hard time for him to be in the public eye and couldn't do his music thing either. All of The Lights is imo reflecting on that whole period through the allegory of the story. This is easily my 2nd fave Kanye album though along with MBDTF.
"Bad enough I showed up late, I had to leave before they even cut the cake". That line truly gets me Everytime every since the first time I heard this song years ago.
Ye and Cudi were meant for each other. They’ve never disappointed.
they have..
when they had a beef.. I was hurt 😔
@@cultinwoods3993 you sir would have loved kids see ghosts

where did i go wrong
Kanye should of gotten a Grammy for this album but i guess the world wasn't ready for it, its an incredible album thats rare to find.
You're right! The world wasn't ready for it. Especially his fans.
Keith Csabak it was different than anything that was out at that time this album will be one of his greats.
+Charlie Luciano Grammys ain't about quality. That's why Kendrick lost. But this album was ahead of its time.
+Charlie Luciano eh it's inconsistent though not all the songs are wow
+Charlie Luciano Wht about TPains album that was like this... just a bunch of love songs over some dope ass drums
808's and Heartbreak was a fucking masterpiece.

he just created the future.

@@TheWaldocrazy he's pretty much saying he missed his whole life chasing Visions and its too late.
Let em kno
People say that because he was misunderstood and got a lot people saying that the album was not really good at the time it was released.
The hook from Kid Cudi still hits the same in 2022.
This album was Cudis bread and butter..
Sheesh. 🔥🔥
Makes the song worth listening
Right in the fuckin soul cuh 🥲❤️🔥
Still fire in 2023 🔥

THIS!!!
Chills every time

hopefully they can put differences aside and keep giving us hits like this

@@FakeAdirTV nope, 808's & heartbreak came out 2008
I think this might be his most underrated song. The other singles from this album way overshadowed it. And honestly it might be the best of the singles artistically.
Josh Ben-Dan it's my favorite song on the album personally
Mine too
Josh Ben-Dan it wasn’t even a single, but it should’ve been. It’s my favorite song of Ye’s entire discography.
cod500 this is his best song. It gives me ghost bumps every time I hear it. The pain of being lonely, the realization he has nothing to show for expect materialistic things, the usage of 808s it’s all perfect.
@@DuksiAntonDedvukaj687D not trying to sound cringe worthy or anything, but this is dealing with some very real emotional pain, that doesn't quite resonate with mainstream at the moment.
Music video is a masterpiece.

Chase the good life my whole life long, look back on my life and my life gone...where did I go wrong?
Love this part
hardest hitting line ever, makes me feel so damn sad
This part always gets me. Also its the only part in the video that doesnt go crazy. Hits different man
Stings, doesn't it?
I feel like kanye produces music ahead of its time. Really from future. Even the videos are way to futuristic at the time. How’s this album not received Grammy???
no one thought at the time that this shit would be so important
Jobs mine albums ahead of their time never get awards. You can look back and see how people shitted on this album. So crazy in hindsight. I even remember Stephen Colbert trashing the album on his show... but kanye don’t care he’s gonna be creative to the end
Because people were to gangster at this, so they were afraid to show emotion
Cause everyone hates on him cause he's different.
Because it was too ahead. Now 808s, Autotune, and sing-rap is the mainstream due to Heartbreak
For those that don't know, the weird glitching effect this video uses is called "datamoshing". Never thought I'd see that in a music video, especially in 2009 when nobody really knew how to do it! Looks awesome.
It was intentional??!?! Thats cool omg

Ikrr rappers now are using data moshing
Bad enough that I showed up laaaate!
I had to leave before they even cut the cake!
Welcome to Heartbreak!!! 💔
That shit gives me chills man!!!
Hardest line on the album. Low key expresses how that cake could have suppressed his hunger. Very deep. Maybe his head was spinning from low blood pressure, due to lack of food and that cake would have increased his blood pressure to a more stable number. It’s all about perspective
Eat With Mark The Shark!
My favorite part... 💔💯

What I was thinking
808s and Heartbreaks is "OUR" Thriller
Spankie Barnes Revolutionary 💯🎼🎵🎶🎙
Nah MBDTF is the hip hop Thriller imo
How? Thriller and 808s or Thriller and MBDTF have no major thematic similarities, they're in different genres, the creative processes of the album were different, they're remembered for different reasons, etc.
If anything I'd say FutureSex/LoveSounds is the closest we have to a Thriller but even then these are all unique albums that should stand on their own merit rather than being compared with each other.
Kaizer.Beatz The similarity with MDBTF and Thriller was the 44 minute Runaway visual film, plus the production and the sequencing of the album from start to finish. Music media people were comparing Ye to Quincy Jones because of the production and how he brought different artists together to make posse cuts like Monster and So Appalled. But I feel you it should be standing on its own and not compared to Thriller.
M 360 Runaway is the Bohemian Rhapsody of hip hop
Im 15 this album helped me alot like, we were living in this house with no lights and we just got robbed. And my mom was like you gotta hear this album. At that time im between 5 or 6. We were back and forth from house to house. She had like a mp3 player or some shit and i used to steal it and hide in the closet and cry to this whole album.(Keep in mind we had actual cd's at this point) I never really understood the album cause i was young and naive but as i got older shit beggined to sound a little different. Words were clearer,it made a lot more sense,and it all came together. Kanye and Cudi are my two heroes. Cudi helped me through 4th grade.
Heartbreaking Heartbreaker that’s real man. That’s what real art can do for your soul
You should become an artist like them man. Every legend comes with hard background like yours. Stay strong 💪
The instrumentals sounds like something you’d go through in this comment. “atleast in this song”
Glad to hear you're still grinding! Tough times dont last, tough people do!!! Cudi helped me alot thru my life and I'm 28 now. I was the teenager when he legit first came out, he would record in my boys appartment. I'd stan his music and him , and how great that he created his own lane for music and how people can relate to this new type of emotion. Based and just out of world space type music and sound he was creating. Go listen to passion pain and demon slaying by him. That album will show you life situations, feelings and perspectives.
😐
Ye had me shouting “I’ve seen it before” in 2008 like I was going through it 😭
Me too. Lol. I ain't know shit when I was a freshman in high school.
lol that line got me singing like i'm in pain bro 😂😭
showed this song to my daughter, it got her screaming "ive seen it before" as well LMAO

Favorite song on 808’s. The melody and the beat are catchy ash. Cudi’s chorus is my favorite part of the song, the best duo on hip hop

Super underrated, but why the Yeezus album exists I will never know

This is the album to listen to for heartbreak. It really is Kanye's best, in my opinion. He used the pain to create something amazing.

Got 15 -20 year old through my first love 👌🏽
@@JesusMorales-er4cy huh?
@@AztecAstro19 it’s amazing, so amazing
808 heartbreak was his best album period. You can tell Kanye was in a dark place. The music was everything. Not too often you play an album from start to finish and not skip a song. Wish he could do something like this once more.
maybe he is in a dark place now and will do it again ? but i hope kim did not fuck him up to bad.

The fact that he made like this only once is what makes it special
He can
Even if they cancel this man. I’ll always listen to Ye
I'm a 39 year old white dude, and this is maybe my favorite album of all time. I also maybe biased because it helped me get through a very dark time in my life, let me feel that someone else had intense pain like me and that I could get through it.
Logan Mahowald that’s a perfect reason for it to be your favorite man
The emtion in the autotune is beyond what our normal voices can create thats why its so soothing
Same same. I'm 40 and when this came out was my favourite album. Made me a lifelong fan ever since.
The fact that u also love cats makes you a special Caucasian
Nothing wrong with that, Kanye’s music got a lot of people through tough times, including me, which is why I can never turn my back on his no matter how crazy he is
i swear when kanye passes everyone is gonna truly find out how much is meant to the world
@@nedm ^ we do not want to imagine a world without Kanye

Listening to these songs makes me realize that Kanye is the Michael Jordan of music for my generation. This dude no matter how “crazy” he might be is a musical genius in every sense of the word. This video is light years ahead of its time. This video could release today and it would fit in perfect. Kanye is truly the GOAT.
Kanye definitely more talented than Jay Z
It feels like this song gave birth to Travis scott.
Gave birth to almost most artists today in terms of the way kanye used autotune here

Best song on the Album.
It may be his best song ever based on how relevant it became to his life.
His whole life is heartbreak. Destined to be misunderstood. Destined to be overlooked and judged by people who don't even listen to the music.
Even now, Kanye's head keeps spinning, he can't stop having these visions, he's gotta get with it.
The video is a true match to the message.
It matches his career.
If you look honestly, you can see Kanye in the distractions, but you look superficially, you see malfunctioning garbage.
Amazing comment
kanye was literally ahead of his time with this album, mainstream rap is this now
that's what he does
Lol I really appreciate his attitude, but people don't understand creativity
so true! dude gets no respect, and in my opinion he's a genius
Lol he is a genius, n nights jus be gettin on his nerve, only good talent was cudi
Kareem Mcghee more like kid cudi. You can hear cudi all over this, from the lyrics to the melodies and beat.
2:04 “I’ve seen it before” “i’ve seen it before” it all makes sense he saw the industry’s future before.Thats the reason his music was so ahead of time......
Pawan Rao true
i get what ure sayin
Dont know if this was intentional or not, but the fact that this is so purposefully glitchy, also in an era when we didnt have HD, this video aesthetic literally aged incredibly well with its 480p max resolution. Genius. Watching in 2020 feels like this video is trying to load itself up to HD but simply can't.
I do think they may have gotten some influence from TV on the radio

You can't tell if the entire video is intentional or not? Lol
@@jezusghoti my point is idk if he knew how great this would age over time with the glitch effects he did at the time :)
808s and heartbreak will forever be my favorite Kanye album hands down . Rawest beats and realest verses period .
808's and Heartbreaks is a instant classic. I don't why this album did not won a grammy
Lance Urbano amen
he already has 24 Grammys to make up for that dude 😂
No one actually understood and saw it for what it was back then it flew over most peoples head because they wanted graduation kanye.
It's really bothers me how this album is so hated by some people. If they took the time to just listen and not just hear the word auto tune and lose there mind and lose that stupid bias. The album was truly great. Thank You Kanye.
+Fred I dont know if it's necessarily hated. It was still a huge critical success and I think the majority of Kanye fans enjoy the album. People are definitely harsher on it because it's much less rapping but really Kanye has always been more a producer than pure rapper and this album shows so much talent and process in that regard.
The biggest reason why it's the Black Sheep of his discography too is that it was by far the least promoted. 808s came out during the Taylor Swift MMVA thing so at that time people really hated on Kanye. It was a hard time for him to be in the public eye and couldn't do his music thing either. All of The Lights is imo reflecting on that whole period through the allegory of the story.
This is easily my 2nd fave Kanye album though along with MBDTF.
It was ahead of its time, same thing with Yeezus
