On "Deja Vu," right after Beyonce says "808" that drum sound you hear is the 808.
The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was one of the first programmable drum machines ("TR" serving as an acronym for "Transistor Rhythm").
They are not talking about the area code for Hawaii(808).

808 is a reference to the Roland TR-808 drum machine.
Therefore, 808 is the beat in a song.

I think it's an area code, they're not the only ones who say that. 808 is a Hawaii area code so maybe they're trying to send little messages in their songs about a vacation and/or special moment spent there.
