He has dazzled us with hit records after hit records, but can we really pinpoint Drake’s career opening to 808s & Heartbreak? Over the past 11 years, since Drake released his mixtape ‘So Far Gone’ a couple of months after Heartbreak dropped, he has been what many consider to be the number one artist for over a decade. I feel that album did a lot more than the commercial sales indicated.” 808 showcased emotion in hip-hop, and then Drake came in and perfected it. “After that album, we saw Lil Wayne release his Rebirth album changing his whole vibe and opening the door sparking Drake’s career. Even though he did not say why we were in Hawaii, because the first two weeks they did Jay-Z’s album, and then they did Kanye’s for two weeks with influences coming in from Drake, Lil Wayne, and T-Pain,” said Snoddy. He was able to show his creativity as an artist, and I think that was pivotal for him. “That album I feel really started to show the genius of Kanye West because he was not seen as a lyricist.

According to one of the producers Miykal Snoddy, 808s & Heartbreak really showcased West’s talent as an artist the project sparked Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album that dropped in 2010 and created a lane for Drake.
