I was pretty aware back then that it was very big what Kanye was doing. My first interaction with Kanye was Late Registration, I think. It wasn’t the typical Kanye West album at the time.
'Heartless' of course. I liked the album back then ’cause it was a bit different. Apparently, 808s is relevant to all generations.Īs told to Frazier Tharpe WELCOME TO HEARTBREAK I had to hop on the phone to get this tale firsthand. Instead, he told me the girl he took as a date to the show "broke his heart" the day after they went, thus making him appreciate in a new light what's heralded as the breakup album of our time. When he hit me talking about Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak show at the Hollywood Bowl, I pressed him for details since info and video from the show was strangely scarce. Since that party the little homie frequently texts me to talk all things rap. Next thing you know we’re debating Yeezus versus Born Sinner while his dad is shooting the shit with my dad. Nick came up to me thinking I was an actor who played one of Chris Rock’s kids. In 2013, I, along with my friend and my dad, attended the afterparty for Grown Ups 2, which was exponentially more lit than the film (obviously). To glean a little insight I decided to interview a teenager about an album that has been in conversation lately and is considered a seminal work of art, Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak.įirst, a little backstory as to how I know this teenager, Nick Turturro (as in son of actor Nicholas Turturro, Jr, nephew of John).
What are teens into these days? The only thing more interesting than figuring out what the new generation thinks is lit is discovering what it thinks of art that was very relevant to your generation.
