Ask 100 people & you’ll get 100 totally unique opinions on 808′s…. For moi, it was very hit & miss. When it worked, it worked well. When it stunk, it was spoiled milk funk. On “Amazing,” it was roses and, in my Gemini mind, I feel like this was the right tempo for Yeezy. Him braggin’ (“…my reign is far as they eye can see/and no matter what you’ll never take that from me.”) yet doing his little happy-go lucky Autotuning in a decent melody. Then capped off with Jeezy almost venturing off track and into the trap, but managing to stay within the concept. Success.

Now this video? Perhaps it was inspired by Earth Day. Fuck if I know. Watch it all the way through to catch a glimpse of ‘Ye & Gangsta L. Crisis on 106. If you feel you have to, Mr. World Premiere’s got up the whole interview segment.
