Your dads ability to take in everything and understand what the song truly means is why I love watching him react. He’s not just saying “oh I like this, next” he goes into detail and will break down his thought process which I think sets him aside from other “reaction” videos.
I’m surprised people don’t talk about Welcome To Heartbreak as much as some of the other songs on this album. That song has always been my personal favorite off this album and one of my favorite Kanye songs ever, the production itself is a masterwork. Such an underrated track.
MBDTF reaction is really gonna be amazing, I have a love for this album but it’s crazy how in spite of the hate for 808s and everything he was going through at the time he came out w/ one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
I think Say You Will is an amazing intro song for the album. To me, the long outro symbolizes how when you are experiencing heartbreak, it seems to go on forever. The emptiness of the sound symbolizes loneliness. I think it's just great.
I will forever believe that no other artists could get on stage and do what Kanye did on Pinocchio Story. It’s the complex every artist faces. One of my favorite moments in his career.
An 808 is a subwoofer kick. It doesn't necessarily have to have a tone or pitch. It can can hit quickly like a drum or sustain a long presence that can dominate a track. The 808 drum has been a staple in hip hop since the early 80,s.
this isn't true. the 808 is a model of drum machine, containing a whole array of percussion sounds. the kick is just one of them. every sound on that thing is legendary.
My favorite Kanye album. Very emotional, feels really “artsy” and experimental, particularly with the drums and synths. I remember when I got this CD and I would never stop playing it. Very introspective as well. Feels like it started a sound wave.
My favorite album of all time. It has helped and still help until this day. The loss, the loneliness, the pain, the sadness, all that i can relate to. Street lights and Pinocchio story are my favorite song from that album. Forever and ever, 808s and heartbreak in my heart until my death. ❤💔
Man I remember my 1st time listening to this. I immediately loved it. I was trying to get everybody I knew to like it, I remember selling this and printing the album cover to the cd. Good times
Pinocchio Story will always be the saddest Kanye song to me. The fact that he’s talking about wanting to be a real boy while the crowd is just cheering and ignoring the fact he’s pouring his heart out makes it heartbreaking to me. It’s especially sadder in retrospect seeing how Kanye acts now
Lots of really nice things to say about this video but can I just point out how nice it is to have a music reaction video where the sound quality of what is being reacted to, is god damn CRISP!? Great stuff guys - from a first time watcher
First time I’ve ever disagreed with Pops. Lol. The elongated ending on Say you will is so fire. This is how songs used to be back in the day. And he wanted to evoke that heartbreaking emotion and draw you in and he did. I think it’s phenomenal. I also think It’s a litter unfair to Pops since he’s listening to provide a critique instead of just laying back, listening and taking it in. This is not microwave music. May take him another listen to really get it. Maybe he has already.
I do agree that it feels more like an outro than an intro though. Intros are usually short and sweet. That track envelops the whole sound of this album it would’ve been a perfect ending
It wasnt the singing with this album. It was the fact that it was announced that this album was in all autotune is what made a lot of people mad. But Kanye pulled it off brilliantly and now it's one of his classics.
808 is a bass drum sound that gets used in a lot of songs underneath bass kick drum sounds today in a lot of music. Kanye had some songs on that album where the 808 was the only kick drum as oppose to layering it. Some artists and producers are doing it today
My favorite KanYe album! I shed a few tears when this album first came out!.. I also love the production has a retro 80s sound that I always admired 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gah damn 😮💨 this album is so good , it’s really amazing to see that your dad liked it because this album gets disrespected 24/7. Can’t wait for the MBDTF reaction🐐🐐🐐
The main reason why 808’s was & still is so damn disrespected is because diehard Kanye fan’s couldn’t fathom what type of mind state he was in at the time. They wanted him to stay inside of a box & control his artistic direction this was the most authentic body of work he could’ve made after his mom’s death.
Mr. Hudson used to be part of Mr. Hudson and the Library. A Tale of Two Cities was a great album by them. You can see why Kanye collaborated with him just by listening to that album.
Maaaan! I remember when this released. I was so pissed when I got the album and found out it was all singing, especially after getting Graduation the year before. But boy did this album grow in me. I mean I was only like 16 but people hated it online too. Critics, all that. Look at it now. Ahead of his time.
Michael Jackson mentioned to Kanye that he liked his singing and that prompted him into making this masterpiece of an album titled “808’s & Heartbreak” so we can thank MJ for giving Kanye that inspiration to create this entire album🙇🏽♂️🔥🔥🔥✨
This album was so ahead of it's time. From the music, to the artwork, to the way Ye was dressing, and his performances during that time. "Mind runnin laps, foe I could barely walk...".
I’m so excited for your dad to listen to My beautiful dark twisted fantasy that shits a life changing album, on the same tier as to pimp a butterfly and mad villainy
if u see thru this album. it gave birth to artists like travis scott. lil uzi vert. playboi carti and many others from this generation. this album is the godfather to the new sound
Your dad made a great point lol i love say you will’s outro , but i woulda loved as well if they ended the album with it AS an outro, especially with the next song being welcome to heartbreak which would’ve served as a great intro anyway
This is also a pretty crazy point because this is only one of 2 albums that Kanye entirely produced back to front. The other one being College Dropout. There’s also the layer that this album elevated auto-tune. It didn’t invent or popularise it even, artists like Wayne and even pop singers were already heavily utilising it, but not to this degree. Not to illustrate emotion and creates such a multifaceted, grand display as this. Kanye always produces everything, but usually it’s quite collaborative and back and forth. But here he created the sound entirely on his own - I’m sure with guidance from people like Mr Hudson still - and that’s another reason why it’s so genius. Man changed the whole state of music by himself.
It's close but this might be my personal favorite Kanye album, it's just so nostalgic to me, the little things you mentioned that people didn't like, I loved. Fire album.
2 months ago on the Graduation album review from y’all I left a comment saying “I’m not eating until pop reacts to 808s or MBDTF” Lmaoo finally got it!!! Much love to y’all fr 💪🏾
my favorite songs on the album are coldest winter, the original version of paranoid and welcome to heartbreak. i’ll still play this joint straight thru tho
I know I’m late but the 808s in the album name of course means the drum machine that he used in the project but it mainly details the area he made the project in. 808 is the area code of Hawaii where he was when making the album.
3:29 the sound of an 808 is like a low deep bass it almost resembles a heartbeat, but thats just my own interpretation. perfect example would be the intro track say you will, the 808 in that song specifically and the beeps and boops in the background give it a very clinical feeling, almost like someone in a coma.
I have been waiting for this one not many like this album but I actually like it got some bangers on there and it’s different sometimes people try different and it don’t work but this is good it works keep up these great classic albums and stay safe you to peace ✌🏼
It’s named 808s & Heartbreak because it’s love songs with a lot of bass in them. T-Pain explained in an interview about how he talked to Kanye about this and Ye was just like “that’s pretty much it”
Ah yes 808’s & Heartbreak’s the album Kanye put out after the unfortunate demise of the late great Dr. Donda West. 808’s is a album that’s artistically beautiful but extremely depressing given the situation that happened. I still to this day sit back & wonder what type of album’s/music we would’ve kept getting from Ye if he never lost his mom. I do remember him saying in a interview that after Graduation came out he was going to make a album called “Good Ass Job” but sadly it never came to fruition. This would be the official end of the Kanye West that most of us grew up listening to & the beginning of the depressed/bipolar artist that we have today. #RestInPeaceDondaWest 🙏🏼🕊🪦💔
Skipping Street Lights is a crime. Best song on the album! Also the best Kanye album imo by far. A masterpeice that followed 3 platinum records! Tough to do.
I always wondered if that snare they're talking about on 31:05 is a sample from the one on the chorus on Radio Gaga by Queen, it sounds exactly the same to me, but there are no credited samples so idk
My 1st listen, the day it dropped I was like WTF??🧐 On the 2nd listen I was like WTF !!!🔥🔥🔥 3rd listen…..WTF 😭😭😭😩😩 After a while I thought, this is what Common’s Electric Circus should’ve been 💯
Thanks for SUBSCRIBING! Make sure you smash that LIKE BUTTON 👍🏾

Respectfully
Kanye had a conversation with Michael Jackson and Michael mentioned that he loved his singing, which then made Kanye sing like that on Heartless.
Imagine being complemented by the goat. That's all he needed.
Yea I’m pretty sure Ye said Michael’s compliment put that battery in him to make 808’s and heartbreaks

100% one of the best. MBDTF and 808s are the only kanye albums with 0 skips

on God, my fav on 808s. I remember learning the melody on the piano and I would play those few notes on every piano I encounter lmao
Same
This was my fave on 808s until streetlights started hitting different
Same it’s one of my favorites off the album, great Kid Cudi feature and one of my favorite Kanye beats ever
Fun fact about Pinocchio Story. It was one of Beyoncé’s favorite performances for him and she personally requested that he put it on the album.
Thanks for this insight! :)
with what we know now, if beyonce askes something, U DO IT XD
This album man. Futuristic sounding and its over a decade old.
It’s the exact same thing with Graduation both albums are light year’s ahead of their time.
Yup! It's considered a music classic 🎵🎶🎶🎵
Influental album along with Yeezus
MBDTF reaction is really gonna be amazing, I have a love for this album but it’s crazy how in spite of the hate for 808s and everything he was going through at the time he came out w/ one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
Facts
Oh yeah the reaction vid for that is going to be crazy
*greatest album
Just wait for Yeezus 🥵
I think Say You Will is an amazing intro song for the album. To me, the long outro symbolizes how when you are experiencing heartbreak, it seems to go on forever. The emptiness of the sound symbolizes loneliness. I think it's just great.
15:48--the knowing glance. 15:52--Dad's timeline is slightly altered forever. This was so fulfilling to watch.
Street Lights and Coldest Winter.. man I love those tracks.. I love this entire album since day one.. I’ll be playing this one the rest of my life.
The irony of the crowd in Pinocchio is quite something
The extended outro on Say You Will allows you to sulk and simmer in the emotion and it hits so hard Everytime
Street Light, Paranoid, and Robocop are my favorites on this album. Very under appreciated album
I will forever believe that no other artists could get on stage and do what Kanye did on Pinocchio Story. It’s the complex every artist faces. One of my favorite moments in his career.

Yeah 808’s did start a sound wave without Kanye doing what he did you wouldn’t have artist like Drake, & Kid Cudi. 🤷🏻♂️
@@bigjohnboatright3811 kid kuudi literally is a reason the album sounds like this and he's on like three songs on this album
@@albert9334just because he feats on some the songs doesn’t mean he help make it.
My favorite album of all time. It has helped and still help until this day. The loss, the loneliness, the pain, the sadness, all that i can relate to. Street lights and Pinocchio story are my favorite song from that album. Forever and ever, 808s and heartbreak in my heart until my death. ❤💔
💔💔💔
Might sound corny but pinocchio story really is my favorite track on the album. It captures the feeling of the album and i love the unfinished sound
not corny bro. its his best song imo. no song can ever capture such a raw breakdown from someone at the top of the world
Heartless into Amazing into Love Lockdown is a fuckin INCREDIBLE three track run
It's a whole feel(field) trip
Kanye is a genius
Your dad knowing “Tear it Up” made my morning 😂💀
😂😂😂 so random
We all about to TH-cam that song right after this video 😂
Man I remember my 1st time listening to this. I immediately loved it. I was trying to get everybody I knew to like it, I remember selling this and printing the album cover to the cd. Good times
I think the extra long outro is good for existential thoughts, anyone who's depressed wants that outro.
sometimes i get lost in ma head in that outro and forget i am listening to an album XD
Your dad really got it on the dot when it came to breaking the songs down and the meaning of it. Especially Pinocchios story
Pinocchio Story will always be the saddest Kanye song to me. The fact that he’s talking about wanting to be a real boy while the crowd is just cheering and ignoring the fact he’s pouring his heart out makes it heartbreaking to me. It’s especially sadder in retrospect seeing how Kanye acts now

I’m so glad he enjoyed 808s and Heartbreak. That’s usually the turning point but also so needed to fully appreciate MBDTF
Such a great album. Paranoid is my favorite.
My favorite track is Street Lights that song is emotional but i love it though.
@@bigjohnboatright3811 definitely no hate on your opinion. Paranoid is just my favorite personally

“They” have been affecting and controlling Kanye his whole life.
I remember hearing this album for the first time.... I had to pause Bad News to process the information of the song a few times... It made me cry.
This is one of the most underrated albums of all time, it’s always been my favorite Kanye album. I go back to it more than any other.
Mr. Hudson used to be part of Mr. Hudson and the Library. A Tale of Two Cities was a great album by them. You can see why Kanye collaborated with him just by listening to that album.

I just freestyled on those outros honestly. lol. I figured that's what that was for. I always though the heart was a ripped deflated balloon.

The 808's bass drum, produces frequencies ranging from approximately 30 Hz to 80 Hz.
no skips on this album. SOLID

808s and Heartbreak was titled from Kanye telling T-Pain that his album was all 808s and Heartbreak
