HE’S OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE RAP GAME,ALL THIS SINGING STUFF IS GARBAGE
September 10th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
wtf??
That doesn’t even sound like him
The hook is kinda catchy though
September 10th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
and away we go
September 10th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
i keep hearing the things like “he’s being different” but just because its different doesn’t mean its hot..people get passes for things for the sake of it being out the norm..i mean i can rap from the perspective of a Trash can, yeah its “different” but that doesn’t mean its hot…
September 10th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
i think somebody got into lil waynes drug stash
and i fucks wit kanye, but i’m not loving this song the way he want us to. if this is the first single, that man is the biggest risk taker gambler in the history of music. and if he succeeds and people like this song, then that man is strickly teflon and there is no stoppin him at all
September 10th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
This is not for me.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
i prefer the live verse
September 10th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
@Country of Kings, I think Lil Wayne going from Block is Hot to Lollipop was a WAYYY bigger risk than this. Kanye already, isn’t firmly based as a hip hop only artist.
The song is ok, I want it to grow on me but right now its not really good. The beat is hypnotique though.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Kanye going from stronger to Love lockdown isn’t too far fetched.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
the live version sounds better
September 10th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
this is what happens when a rapper thinks hes so good that he can drop any bullshit
someone close to this man needs to tell him this song is garbage and needs to just be thrown away
September 10th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
I am kanyes biggest fan, but this is not good. The beat is crazy, but the song is not his best. “Stronger” was crazy, this not so much. But i heard the next single “Heartless” and its one of the best songs he has made.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
This song is hot. It’s not strictly rap. Broaden your horizon.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I dont know. The live version sounded better. The hook on her sounds like his jaw was wired shut. The
September 10th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I dont know. The live version sounded better. The hook on her sounds like his jaw was wired shut. His voice is too loud over the beat, the piano sounds off. This was just a bad choice all together. Like i said, the live version was pretty different and hot, but this definitely aint polished and hopefully not the final version
September 10th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
yea defo, the live version sounded very good, i personally think this isnt Kanye and RealTalkNY got played..cus this sounds fake. I like the song tho.
September 10th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Agreed, he couldnt ever pronounce ‘love lockdown’, he like faded off….i dont feel the song, and it was better live, and even then i changed.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
LIVE WAS WAY BETTER!, kind of like Jockin Jay’z was better live.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Co-sign #13.
Peace.
September 10th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Jockin was better live, agreed.
This is better though.
September 10th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
This isnt what i excepted after hearing it live…I hope it grows on me, but kanye might have caught his first brick.
September 10th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
someone kill kanye before he kills hiphop… please
September 10th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
love this song and yea i don’t think this is the final version kanye seems too meticulous for that i can understand ppl not liking the song but whats wrong with him trying something different??? isn’t that what an artist is supposed to do???
September 10th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
wackkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!! WTF LOL
Live version was WAY better!!!!
September 10th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
this can’t be the real official one…it’s not even timed right, and it doesn’t sound mastered. This is prolly just the recording of when he first laid down the verses…
September 10th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
jay need to take kanye a side and tell him get of this auto tune thing
Had a spark when you started but now you’re just garbage
Fell from top ten to not mentioned at all
September 10th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
kanye get off cee-los dick..yall northern dudes cant maintain wit out da south swag..
September 10th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
This isn’t the final version of the song, this is just the studio version. After hearing it on the VMA’s and now, this song is not bad at all. I’m not gonna front, I like this song. It’s different but you can’t tell me you couldn’t see something like this coming. As for the auto tune, they should seriously stop with it lol. But when the final version come out, people who saying this shit is trash and so forth will be knocking this within a week.
September 10th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Inspire: An artist is supposed to be different sure, but not suck while doing it. I love Kanye…love, I listen to all three CDs but this….naw
September 10th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
absolutly love it. ugh “hip-hop heads” are so annoying lol
September 10th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Ay for real… this ain’t the final version…. seriously
When the real version come out, it’s gunna be cleaer and it’s gunna knock, watch…
Screamin’ NO NO NO NA NOOOOOOOOO haha watch
September 10th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
LMAO..i could of made better somg in my bathroom..and is he clapping during the chrous lol……wow….this sucks…u can’t even be hater to say this.
September 10th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
yea KANYE IS A BEAST!!!
September 10th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
I was loving the live version, I want to hear the real studio version
this one HAS to be unfinished, I don’t think Kanye would put it out sounding like that
September 10th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
I am a huge Kanye fan, and this is NOT good, I like Swagger Like US alot actually. But this is terrible , the vocals are off , the chorus , this is just bad. We cannot let him release stuff like this and think it is ok… because its NOT!. Im sorry, i loved literally everything he has released before this, but this is BAD. Luckily I heard “Heartless”, and that song gives me reason to hope.
September 11th, 2008 at 1:58 am
if you listen to this shit on high quality head phones and don’t like it.. I strongly question your musical taste
September 11th, 2008 at 2:11 am
ye’ did this song when his mouth was wired shut.
September 11th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Remember Kanye is Christopher Columbus, and y’all just the pilgrims!
September 13th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
the song is sick but boys wont like it because he doesnt talk about guns or shooting people
September 14th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
yo its a good jam, a good vibe, and this aint even the mastered version yet, ya’ll trippin
September 15th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
kanye sucks
he thinks to high of himself
