Furthermore, the pop-rap song 'Heartless' from '808s & Heartbreak' effectively popularized modern vocal tools, successfully paving a clear path for the rise of current melodic rap music. Feel-good anthems such as 'All Falls Down' offered brilliant commentary on societal consumerism, Kanye West's historic catalogue continues to define multiple generations of hip-hop music, but he is entirely focused on wrapping up his current 'Ye Live Concert Tour' rather than recording a successor to 'Bully'.
