Holy shit. I cannot stand rap music. This is not a rap album. This is something else.
There’s some serious 80s darkwave and minimal synth influence on this record. I think I love it.

Kanye West from 2007-2013. Graduation to Yeezus, was a the greatest forse in pop music. He reinvented his sound on every album while generating and dictating global hits
Ian Wright
was the greatest force* just to correct the spelling
Lucas Gomez

Justin Ramirez
I hear a lot of people say that, care to elaborate?
Isaac Bell
He employs huge teams of producers and fires them about 2 weeks in. He is a manager, a very good one with sublime taste. where most musicians tend to be average joes and janes, he archieves to be an artists that doesn't pidgeonhole himself to one-singular aesthetic. Based Ye

But how does that change the music indsutry. I've always thought that Kanye innovated music in a way, that other people started incorparating his innovations.

No one has ever done his style of creating music before. When you look at contemporary trap/hip-hop production you have one guy responsible for programming drums another for melodies and someone who ties it all together. This collaborative work ethic !amongst producers! is a fairly recent development. All of this was pioneered by the man himself kanye.

It's interesting if you only listen to rap mostly

Being emotional and melodic in rap music was not a mainstream thing before 808s and Heartbreak. Without 808s you don't get Drake or really any of these newer age "emorap" types. Kanye got shit all over for this release in the rap community because it was "pussy shit". He single handedly made emotion and melody in rap music cool and respected. 808s is oft referred to as his worst album and because of this remains his most underrated work.
Jacob Reyes
Street Lights is soooooooo fucking good.
Brandon Hill
808s is the most influential album of this century
Carson Sanchez
Unfortunately it was something that introduced a lot of kids in the black community to something aside from their parents Ojays Records and their older brothers Nas Records. It was something fresh, something different, and from someone they could identify with to some extent.
Brayden Bennett
basically a lot of modern day hip hop artists were very inspired by 808s and heartbreak. the album directly influnced the sound of a lot of rap today.

My dad showed my the live version when i was around 11. That was like 2012, he's 58 now.
