Kanye West Changes 808's & Heartbreak??

When the idea of the album 808's and Heartbreak was first made public (Auto-Tune & 808's on every track) the hip hop community was scratching its head a little bit. Turns out, Mr. West addressed those worries from the hip hop community and has tried to quiet any concerns.

In an interview with Los Angeles' Power 106 Morning radio jock Big Boy, West expressed that he might be scaling back the "far left" aspect of the album. West stated that the project "is not avant garde" and he is just trying to make the "best possible album."

Word is now coming out that although the album is coming out in a month, Kanye is going to be working on it until the 11th hour making changes to try and make the best possible album that the most amount of people would love. “I’m not doing this to only have two people have this in their car", the rapper said.

The rapper also played "Coldest Winter" for the station and its listeners. While the track is def a stand out track, we are hoping that one of the changes he does make is the static noise that pops up every few bars. Kanye also went into detail about what the track stands for. To him, the song is for the loss of his mother (he blames it on Hollywood) but anybody can attribute the song to loss in general. Whether a relationship, friendship, a loved one of whatever.
