ALBUM INFO
Probably Kanye’s most ambitious project yet, the album was recorded during West’s self-imposed exile to Hawaii due to legal and mental health issues. What made this album particularly so opulent is the number of other well known artists that were invited to help with the album as well as the video projects that were released with the album. During the recording Kanye was reported to only take power naps instead of getting a full night's rest and he also had two private chefs working for him full during the albums creation. Because of its grand and orchestral sound it was regarded as one of the best albums of 2010.
