Read this interesting article that puts forth 3 of Kanye's albums as huge game changing albums in the genre of Hip Hop. The albums were Graduation, 808's and HeartBreaks and MBDTF. Do you agree? Btw here's the link to the article

I kinda like MBDTF but i dont see how it changed the genre lol.

I liked 808 and Heartbreaks but I don't think it was a game changer because in my opinion T-pain was already doing that.
To me, the college dropout was the game changer. For years after that album was released everyone wanted those tracks with the sped up samples and still producers try to emulate that sound. I haven't fully listened to his last few releases.

I can't deny 808's and heartbreaks being a game changer. It's not the use of autotune that made it a game changer. It was the whole mood. That dark ambient moody sound. Drake, Cuddi and Gambino lived off of that sound

A lot of this seems extremely exaggerated. I'm a Kanye fan and liked his first 2 albums, but everything since has sounded like scattered ideas.
