We’re not sure why Kanye chose to make this move, but who cares, it’s awesome. 808s is among my top ranked Kanye albums, and I think that’s kind of the general consensus these days. It was ahead of its time and has been one of the most influential offerings of the past decade. You can’t really debate that.
It’s not any anniversary of the album or anything, but on September 25th, Kanye will be performing the album live in full at the Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, CA. Tickets go on sale next week (9/4). Book that flight now.
