"Kanye West - Love Lockdown"

As We Reported Only Days Ago... Kanye West Is Back On The War Path & Setting Up The Release Of His Fourth Studio Album - 808's & Heartbreak. Love Lockdown Is The First Official Single From The LP.


Love Lockdown is 'interesting' to say the least, while I am not sold on the cut yet, I am totally convinced that I will be in love within a few listens. This is really nothing like Kanye has ever done before, he is pushing the envelope with this one. It will not have the same reaction as Stronger did from his last album, but trust when I say this one is hot.

The simplistic drum beat is a touch of genius, while he is an excellent 'Soul-Beat' producer, this is simply inspired. The track's only flaw is Kanye's vocals, he has never erally tried to sing on a song before & even with his digitally encoded voice, it still comes accross as 'shakey'. Still, no hating here, it takes some talent to make something so creative, modern, cool & radio friendly.

wtf is up with the chorus, it sounds like he's mumbling 'keep your love locked down'. live version is what gave this the edge.

I loved the live performance, but this doesn't sound nearly as good to me. Is this really the final version? Since I know you love Brandy too... have you heard Porcelain yet? It's by far my favorite of the new Brandy leaks I have heard.

I'm PRAYING this isn't the version he releases on iTunes...

i mean C'MON... the live version makes this one sound like garbage, and its for the reason you stated:

why the hell is he mumbling "love lockdown"???

it sounds more like "luff luck-dunn"

I'm kind of afraid, the song can be found on iTunes (not available for purchase) but you can listen to the 30 second sample and it sounds exactly the same with the messed up chorus.
