But I think he does it in a very succinct, profound manner. Though extremely short, I enjoy his first verse on "Welcome to Heartbreak." It says a lot about how consumerism and wanting to be famous has replaced any meaningful relationships with other humans. This album also made me realize the depth of Kanye.
However, if I were to stop there, that would be very unfair. But blaming others for his shortcomings and not accepting fault when relationships go wrong ("I tell the truth, and I keep runnin'"). Yes, we should all love ourselves to an extent. It wasn't until I listened to 808's and Heartbreak that I realized how truly narcissistic Kanye is.
Now, I think that influence is very negative and led to some very bad songs being released from other artists, but we can ignore that for now. I would say it was a very influential hip-hop album.
It looks like I'm going to be one of the few to disagree.
