To put it lightly, 808s & Heartbreak was a risk.
In this fourth installment, the data tells us a fascinating story of Kanye’s massive gamble ditching his samples and rapping for original production and autotune. A hypothesis is presented, which is the general and most common narrative surrounding an album, and then the statistics from Ye’s output during the recording cycle are used to find out whether the hypothesis is true or not. This series of articles looks back on the numbers from Kanye’s output as a rapper and producer 60 weeks prior to each of his solo albums, and uses these statistics to prove or disprove the legacy or accepted narrative of each record.
