I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who did Kanye become inspired by while creating 808s & Heartbreak?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Drawing inspiration from artists such as Gary Numan, TJ Swan and Boy George, and maintaining a "minimal but functional" approach towards the album's studio production, West explored the electronic feel produced by Auto-Tune and utilized the sounds created by the 808, manipulating its pitch to produce a distorted, electronic sound; he then sought to juxtapose mechanical sounds with the traditional sounds of taiko drums and choir monks.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
