Poppin Or Floppin: Kanye West – Love Lockdown Live



Kanye West – Love Lockdown Live


Thoughts on the performance and song? I think for the VMA’s it is a better idea for artist to perform songs everyone know but to each his own. Not really feeling this song as a first single.

    Song goes hard, but I bet it sounds better recorded than live tough.

  2. BLACK - Says:

    The Song prolly sounds better on record.
    It takes balls to perform it live first knowing you not really a singer and that an audience is always less enthusiastic with a track they never heard before.
    Kanye never been afraid to take risks and I respect that a lot.
    Dude be wanting to sing for a moment now. It used to be very bad. It’s still not perfect but its way better though. It should be clean after studio magic.

    boring trends of the day. He’s so self contained you can’t compare him to any other rapper…The man has built his own lane.

  4. The Kid Says:

    yo all respects to kanye, but i don’t know whether to put his ass in the RNB section or the hiphop section. what is with this singing bs. catchy hooks = kool. a whole fkn song… com’on son.

  6. Jack Says:

    Kanye GAY AS SHIT!

  7. UNLV Says:

    This wasn’t/isn’t hip hop its just good music…I was confused, and a little disappointed when he performed this too. After listening to the lyrics this song is crazy. I cant wait for the CDQ. If your not willing to embrace change Kanye’s music will never sound good. This song will be another #1 for him if he pushed it to be…Stronger didn’t get much initial love either.

  8. Pissed Kanye fan Says:

    IMO Kanye has fallen off since College Dropout. Kanye used to speak on real hood shit, real life shit. Songs like “We Don’t Care”, “Two Words”, “Spaceship”, “All Fall Down” and quotes like:

    “sittin in the hood like community colleges
    this dope money here is little Tre’s scholarship
    Cuz aint no tuition for havin no ambition for havin no ambition
    And aint no loans for sittin your ass at home
    So we forced to sell crack, rap and get a job”

    Kanye wasn’t a street dude, but not everyone in the hood is. He was a regular 9-5 working dude strugglin to make his own livin and I loved that about him cuz I could relate to that from College Dropout and the first 2 Freshman Adjustments, etc. Ever since then, he’s become a pop star and has been putting out bullshit. He may be in his prime with Graduation but that album was subpar. Overall.. he’s changed his sound to appeal to white people and asians, which takes away that real “Hip-Hop” sound he had when he first got on. But then again, almost every artist seems to fall off as soon as they get bigger. I can no longer call myself a Kanye fan. And now he’s even singing and doing whatever Lil Wayne is doing. SMH.

  10. WHITE BOY Says:

  11. 10 Says:

  19. Superman - Hip Hop Fan Says:

    Horrible. Just horrible.

  20. caughtpantless Says:

    kanye is very talented. you don’t see 50 or wayne with a voice that can actually hit notes correctly, yet kanye can. i mean i don’t dig the auto tune… but i think this song is pretty damn good and he could do it without the auto tune. why he chooses to use it??? i dunno, blame cher i guess. and who ever was saying the crowd wasn’t feeling is a fucking moron. obviously they’ve never heard it before, so they were trying to catch the beat. SHAKING MY GODDDAMN HEAD…

  21. Jazz Jr, Says:

    That song is a hit
    whether ya like it or not..
    stop hatin

  22. 2shooters Says:

    MTV Version Sound Way Better Than What YouTube Got It Up..

    RealTalkNy Wheres The MP3 At?..
    Soulful Shit Is Good At Times..

  23. AYO Says:

    the shit was crap no matter how you slice it.

  24. AYO Says:

    wayne was best performance of the night

  25. veraci0us Says:

    iv dcided so what if he was off key with the notes, most rnb singers are off key with notes the same way (rhianna) lol.. Imma judge it on lyrics coz kanye a wizard as a producer so im sure he can SMOOTH THE VOCALS OUT lol

    To be creative you have to take risks.. Im gonna wait for the CDQ b4 i give my ultimate decision.. Its a big shock to see kanye make a track like this, and a greater shock to premier it at the vma’s.

  26. sogaudy Says:

    i remember when stronger first dropped

    dudes was like wtf is that

    lol

    the people that buy albums will love this record
