Record Review: Kanye West

Kanye West
808s and Heartbreak
[2008, Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam]
1.5/4 [the site is an aggregate score made up of the editor and my own ratings]

I haven't written anything for Music in Review in awhile, but was asked to write an article on the new Kanye album. I obliged (I hadn't yet downloaded it, and felt like I needed a reason to listen to it, as I'd been avoiding it like the plague). What's posted now contains my thoughts of 808s and Heartbreak. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Record Review: Cyne

CYNE
Pretty Dark Things
[2008, Hometapes]
Rating: 3/5

I had a really hard time writing this review for some reason. I listened to this album so many times while reviewing it, maybe twenty times over a two week period. Too much. Anyway, if you're into derivative indie hip-hop, then go get this now. It's not bad... just hardly says anything new. Read my review HERE. Hometapes does a great job with packaging, as always.
