Kanye West, there's not many people who have not heard of him. You've heard his songs. He is also a 10, yes ten time Grammy award winner. With very successful singles like "Jesus Walks", "Gold Digger" "Stronger" "Love Lockdown" and many more. He has made a total of 4 albums throughout his whole career. His first being "The Collage Dropout" then "Late Registration" "Graduation" and his newest album "808's And Heartbreak". 808's And Heartbreak was released on November 24th, I have thouroughly listened to it, and was not dissapointed. He deviates alot from his other style which he had on the first 3 albums. Using a known technique called AutoTune, which measures the pitch on a persons voice and adds a sythensyzer to the tone. It's a cool effect, while some people might not enjoy it, I personally think he used it in the right ways.
