“Amazing” is the latest track to surface from Kanye’s upcoming 808s and Heartbreak, and it’s also rumored to be the lone track on the album to feature actual rapping. But Kanye doesn’t handle those duties, he leaves that to Young Jeezy, who drops some raspy bars after Kanye gets his Auto-Tune on for most of the track. “Amazing” shares the same spacey, sparse production that propels the other 808s and Heartbreak songs that have been released, but features a lot of below the beat sounds (like “Gangster’s Paradise” sounding choruses, and Halloween sound effects).
808s and Heartbreak is due out on Monday, November 24.
I can't believe it's going to be an album of Auto-Tune. I think it's fine on occasion, but this is probably going to be overkill. I still want to hear the album badly.
Kadgi, it's like the fifth single that has that. I have to say though, at first, I hated it, but somehow it's growing on me.

It's a awesome track, and overall a decent album. The all around sound in this track is brilliant, and absolutely makes the best track on the new album. Kaney simply rocks with auto-tune!

wow you guys are all idiots this is merely a PROJECT that kany worked on that came from his heart! the auto-tune was a symbol of heartbreak (808s and heartbreak) his rap album is coming june 09
No matter what anyone says the style of hip hop that Kanye continues to produce only progresses the sansibility of hip hop....not rap. Just because your fav "rapper" is pushing an album that says the same thing wiht new production doesn't mean you put down Kanye for what he's trying to do. Elevation is the key to true success.
