    It's not. When everything's said and done it might be his most influential, but the two masterpieces are College Dropout and Dark Fantasy. You could argue it's third, though.

    Heartless not my favorite song on 808 but the album is in my top 3 along with MBDTF and LR (and maybe Graduation)

    Heartless is a great f---ing song. Timeless, I'd say.

    But, the masterpiece off of 808's is Welcome To Heartbreak.

    Nah. Probably my least fave on 808's and Heartbreaks to be honest. However, I'd have to agree with whoever said Pinocchio's Story because that song just makes the stoically desensitized soul within us all, feel as melancholic as it gets. Somber Bomber on 'em. I still think Robocop has one of the greatest instrumental backings ever recorded in all the history of any music genre.

    Street Lights, Paranoid, Robocop, and Welcome to Heartbreak are all better. But album is a 10/10 masterpiece and probably Ye's most influential (and my favorite of his albums). Heartless is probably Ye's best single.
