Their engagement was called off before this album’s composition. This song was inspired by his ex-fiancée, Alexis Phifer. In terms of production, this song sounds like a more emotional version of something that would’ve appeared on Graduation. I already know that I fucking love this song. This is the only song that I’ve heard from this album that wasn’t released as a single. I definitely won’t be able to, but it should be fun either way. It’s definitely a result of his mama dying, but I think I’m gonna try to actually understand Kanye. A lot of people say that Kanye lost his mind after his mama passed away, and that this album was the first result of that.

If I do end up hating it just like everyone else, at least it won’t last too long. Anyway, this album is much shorter than his previous ones, so that’s nice. A$AP Rocky has nothing to do with this shit. As I mentioned before, a lot of people hate this album, including A$AP Rocky. Y’all know I love sad music, and this shit looks fucking depressing, so I’m pretty excited for this.

I’m glad he didn’t try to do a whole R&B album without it tho. Still, I hope he uses the autotune in moderation. If y’all know me, you know I hate it when rappers overuse autotune. If I’m not mistaken, he sings with autotune throughout this whole album. This is the closest thing you’re going to get to an R&B review from me. Until 2013, this was easily Kanye West’s most hated album.

I’ve really been looking forward to checking this album out, mostly because of how different it is. It was inspired by a series of traumatic events, most notably the death of Donda West, Kanye’s mother. This album came out on November 24th in 2008.
