Today, vulnerability and the concept of heartbreak and exploring the dark side and the alienation of fame is one of the most widely explored topics in rap music and that is partly thanks to 808s.
What Kanye was able to create with 808s paved the way for trap music and some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop today wouldn’t exist, or at least wouldn’t be who they are if it wasn’t for 808s. Juice WRLD, Travis Scott, Drake and so on have all cited Kanye as a major influence for their style of music, Juice in particular, named 808s to be one of his favorite albums. In my personal view, one of the biggest reasons why Hip-Hop has become such a prominent genre throughout the years is because of its sheer number of sub-genres and the constant evolutions it goes through. And to singlehandedly bring about that evolution is no easy task even for an artist of Kanye’s league. Still to this day, some people continue to insist that the change rap underwent is a bad one.
