    It clicked with me the first time i heard it, but i remember people being confused as h--- about it.


    How did you feel about it? Did you like it or did you hate it?

    I knew that we were getting something special with 808s and heartbreak.

    One of the first Kanye songs I ever heard and I loved it from the jump. Fell in love with 808s once it was released.

    I unfortunately don't remember my first time hearing it.
    It's one of my favorite songs on 808s though.

    Literally first time i heard it was when i got GTA IV (or Gay Tony or whatever the f---) when it came out & it was on the radio in the game, i was like 'what is this autotune trash', but tbf i was 12 & had r-----ed taste in music.

    Then when i started getting into Kanye's music later on, revisited the song, & was like 'whoa this is bananas'. Easily top 10 Ye track for me now.

    I don't really remember the first time I heard any of 808's, it was around the time of release tho. That album is so special, I could never put, say, graduation or TLOP above it

    Wasn't even into rap or Kanye but like every other single he'd dropped I really enjoyed it. Heartless stuck with me more, I remember missing the bus in junior high when I first heard the song on mtv.

    I don't remember my reaction honestly. I wasn't really following him at the time so it was just another song to me.

    BUT the song ended up being my least favourite single of the singles, and to clarify I still think it's a great song, I just think the other singles are better. Heartless > Amazing > Paranoid > Love Lockdown imo.

    maybe I'll listen to the album again today.

    Wasn't blown away from it until my friend started blasting it on speakers. Not exactly the type of song to play loud but we were young and rookies. Loved it afterwards.
