808s and Heartbreak

Time for a Kanye thread! I'm not utterly convinced by about 75% of the autotune vox but I am enjoying the rest! I've also been listening to Graduation quite a lot recently and the difference in mood is massive. The usual clever wordplay is still there but seems to take a back seat to Kanye being a big old emo (which of I imagine is the whole point).

Any poptimist thoughts? Fave tracks?

(Also I have just listened to 'Robocop' and I want an excuse to post this:)

This is the rather excellent video to the new Jay-Z/Santogold collaboration (produced by Kanye), which features on the soundtrack to the forthcoming Biggie biopic, 'Notorious'.
