Kanye West – Heartless (He Plans To Be The Greatest Performer Of This Generation)
Thoughts on the latest Kanye West video? Interesting that it drops right after 50’s, “Get Up,” video. Check below for video of Kanye speaking about music and his new album.

November 7th, 2008 at 4:11 am
This is very reminiscent of Tom Waits For No One

Cosign# 4.

Between his mom jumping the shark and his girl realizing a ninja that match more than her is prolly DL dude done went batshit.
Melle Mel warned yall fools bout them white lines…..Kanye told us on GOLDDIGGER when he get on he gonna leave your ass for that WHITE GIRL
November 7th, 2008 at 6:06 am

November 7th, 2008 at 6:47 am

November 7th, 2008 at 6:52 am
well it’s no longuer talent when you you a machine to alter your voice
November 7th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I would rather buy his words being that he is a genius then to buy his Gay0Gays & HeartBreak album.
November 7th, 2008 at 10:07 am
not buying
November 7th, 2008 at 10:08 am
yall not tired of the same ol bull. the man is creative. he knows what he is doing isnt rap/hiphop, he is just being creative. he’s not doing it just for the black community. thats our problem now we selfish. if you dont like it then just dont listen this time. im sure he already knows he can lose some fans on this. the so called real rappers have things on there album that aint always good and there so called “keeping it real”. its just all in what you like
November 7th, 2008 at 10:46 am
co-sign #16
November 7th, 2008 at 10:50 am
I like Kanye but if he is creative because that auto-tune and love songs than you are some stupid motherfuckers,how the fuck can you say he is creative,all auto-tune and all love songs,get the fuck out of here
November 7th, 2008 at 10:50 am
#16 at the same ol bull ?
im not sure what you mean by that, every other kanye album to me has been creative and he didnt have to auto tune his voice and sing love songs… kayne is with out question one of hip hops best in the game right now just look at how he held his own on swagga like us !!!! but the theres a difference between being creative and just changing your whole format…. i think thats why alot of heads are like wtf is this…. to be honest heartless is a banger to me but all the other tracks i cant listen to and trust me i try to… anyways this album still gonna sell crazy .. 1
November 7th, 2008 at 10:54 am
i jus don’t like the whole ‘pharell” move these niggaz maken… come out wheren baggy shit and hood… and a couple years later everything is based off “nerds”… needless to say this shit is hot… can’t doubt the music… will not cop the album b4 the bootleg… need to chek it out 1st
November 7th, 2008 at 11:00 am
tight jeans, mohawks, high water pants, auto-tone…..now this…please put this man in the Pop category and not Hip Hop. oh and please before you using words that you have no idea what the definitions are, look them up in the dictionary…for example….GENIUS….CLASSIC.
November 7th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Hot Song, Hot Video…
November 7th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I love this shit and most especially because insecure faggots from NY hate it.
His melodies ARE classic. Go ‘Ye. You and Wayne are the future.
November 7th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Interesting that it drops right after 50’s, “Get Up,” video”. LOLOLOL, kayne album dropping first, should he wait til after his album drop. so this means hes trying to compete wit 50, thats why he dropped it right after 50 video…???lol
November 7th, 2008 at 11:30 am
OMG best thing i ever seen.
November 7th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
THIS NIGGA DOES NOT HAVE A WACK VIDEO YET…. THO LOVE LOCKDOWN WAS PUSHEN IT… MAYB CAUSE I STILL CAN’T QUITE GRASP THE CONCEPT .. WHICH IS UNUSUAL 4 ME.. KANYE HOLLATME
November 7th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
ANOTHER DOSE OF BULLSHIT!!
November 7th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Intersting vid hmmmm lol, ma nigga Ye doin suttin different and he prolly expected the haters to show their true colors so Keep HATin pplz lol, and go cop BISD dec. 16, fif needs as much promotion as he needs dat fuckin clown,
November 7th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Kanye is one of the Best Performers that I’ve ever seen!
He’s Crazy yo.
And I like his 2 songs.
Def. gettiN’ the CD.
November 7th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
ja-rule got ran out of the game for singing… 50 catches slack about it… but kanye does it and its revolutiionizing hip hop??? ya’ll niggas must be homo or sumthin… for real.. if thats the case than ja-rule is a legend.. and his next album should sell 2 mill….ja was doin that shit in 99 and 2000…ya’ll lame and so is autotune and kanye
November 7th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
# 19 Jay-Reckless… what i meant by it was the other artist that are out. kanye keeps it different. he brings something else other all the time and thats why i can appreiciate this cause its different.
What i mean by creative is that he is not afraid to make a video like the one he has, something that others probably want to do but are afraid. if this man wants to make a album like this one why cant he. im not a fan of the autotune all the time but once again he’s not afraid to step out of the box that rap/hiphop is in.
November 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Different
November 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
SEE THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN NEW RAPPERS COME OUT AND THEY SOUND LIKE WAYNE, 50, HOV, GAME, NAS, JIM JONES WE QUICK TO SAY THAT THEY SWAGGER JACKIN. BUT THEN WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN WE COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM BEING SOFT, OR CRAZY OR THEY LOSING THERE MINDS. WHAT DO WE WANT PEOPLE TO DO BE LIKE OTHERS OR DO THERE OWN THING.
November 7th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I can tell that #28 “NYC KING” is intimidated by 50 don’t be scared being that he just had to bring up 50 lol. And that shit be killin me like why all the time when there a kanye post. A bloggers alway has to say something about 50 his name is alway in a kanye post said by a blogger. All i got to say is put 808 & HeartBreak out on the same day with BISD this time around and watch 50 T.O.S that album. And i don’t care if T.O.S was a flop i would still choice it over GAY0GAY & HeartBreak…lol Sorry kanye i ain’t dissin yo shit i just ain’t gonna buy yo shit.
November 7th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
@ JAY-RECKLESS…
ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM CHANGING HIS WHOLE FORMAT. THIS IS THE YEAR FOR CHANGE SON!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA 08…LOL
BUT ON THE REAL @ JAY-RECKLESS I RESPECT WHAT YOU SAYING. I JUST THINK THAT HE WANTS TO BE DIFFERENT THEN USUAL ON THIS ALBUM. IM SURE HE WONT PUT MUSIC OUT LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER. IM STILL COPPIN THOUGH
November 7th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
the greatest performer of my generation is MJ…kanye is not really a performer if u think about real performers lik MJ he dnt dance so u cnt b a great performer if u cnt dance and his cd gonna b trash 2 me cuz i hate autotunes
November 7th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
@Erf
I feel u but in the end as much as change is needed and artist need to evole, it doesn’t mean evole right out of ur genre. If he’d like to reach a new audience fine but i’m getting sick of people sayin if u aint feelin this, ur close minded. We as fans show support for the music. The music, not The person. So if an artist wants to stop making the music ur accustomed to, don’t i have the right to jump ship. I aint tryin to hate on dawg but I have no allegiance to Kanye to follow him no matter where he wants to take his musical talents. And this aint a black or white thing cause I see a lot of peeps sayin like,”niggas is ignorant n shit” but if u take a group like let’s say Green Day n they decide to put out a country album, I’m sure most of their fqans would react the same way. Again May allegiance is with good music, not the artist.
November 7th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
WTF?! Ye takes thinkin outside of the box to another level. I’ll buy his LP when he starts rapping again. This is some bullshit!
I love me some Yeezy, but he goin overboard with the shenanigans. Dude can have a straight black screen as a video for an entire song and some of you would still call it the most fascinating video ever and how you really gotta think to understand it. smh…
November 7th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
some of yall r some haters.this video is nice. his cd is going to good.
November 7th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
N by the way, singing hiphop lyrics over rap/r’b beats with the autotone ish is not crative or original. It’s following a trend.

November 7th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
You niggas are too brainwashed by tha radio… its sad.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
what da fuk is dis shit?
November 7th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
@ Clipz
True but just let that nigga charlmange said you listen to the radio enough then you start sing’n along to songs thats sooooo fucking wack LOL treat raido like crack or VERY STRONG haze … 1
November 7th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
@ danga1181…
respect, respect, but like i said if you dont like what he is putting out at this time then dont listen to this album. wait for the next one. you and all of his fans dont like all of the same music. alot of his fans like what he is doing right now, some dont. AT THE END OF THE DAY AND WHAT THE BOTTOM LINE IS PRETTY MUCH, YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYBODY, YOU HAVE TO GO IN THE DIRECTION THAT YOUR HEART IS TAKING YOU AND THATS WHAT HE IS DOING.
also i never said auto tune is creative, i said that by him not being scared to step out of the box and make videos like he has mad, with the bear and the new one he just made is creative. IN MY OPINION.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
AND ALSO I STATED THAT THE FANS THAT LIKE THE DIRECTION HE IS GOING IN WILL STILL SUPPORT AND THE OTHERS WILL FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO SUPPORT. AND I THINK THAT KANYE UNDERSTANDS THAT. I THINK THAT HE KNOWS HE WILL LOSE SOME FANS ON THIS AS I STATED BEFORE.
November 7th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
The video’s hot…the song is nice…the greatest performer he cannot be. You can’t stand there and sing and call yourself the greatest performer no matter how elaborate your set or effects are. Beyonce, Usher, JT, Chris Brown…those are performers buddy.
November 8th, 2008 at 3:25 am
kanye allday ! oh and fuck haters! really the haters !
November 8th, 2008 at 5:27 am
word@ #47
i think B already got the best performer title. ye needs to stop gassing himself
November 8th, 2008 at 8:34 am
this shit is fuckin gay and if u say it aint u are on kanye dick… GLC… i aint even onnnn yetttttt
November 8th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Whether you like the song or not, It has to be said this is a pretty hot video. I’m going to his concert on Wednesday… ima let you know if he is the greatest performer. Going to see Nas tomorrow. check my blog for review and pics.
November 8th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I Like Dis, but Love Lockdown was pure bullshit. This shit snappin tho. It’s more Ye’ than Love Lockdown. He was too indulged in his Coldplay mode when he made that shit.
Kanye thinkin out the box, it’s only two niggas who are considered rappers who can jus up and sing on songs and still sound A-1.
Ye’ and 3000.
Nuff said.
November 8th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I agree wit #5, this should have been the 1st single. I guess he has to ease into the singing
November 8th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
YES U IDIOTS IT IS POP HE’S TRYING TO WIN POP ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!! THE RAP ALBUM COMES OUT IN JUNE.
November 8th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Kanye’s 1 honest dude… this song is fire. wonder who the chik is he talken bout… she aint in the industry i know that

^ Word then Love LockDown as the second single….damn we could be in the Ye camp lol!!
November 8th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
2 hiphop&depression
umm it took me a while to grasp the concept of love lockdown too but what i think (along with the input of others lol) is that when hes in the room hes showing how he looks calm on the outside… keeping his cool.. but inside he is really struggling to keep his love trapped or “locked down” the warrior dudes are fighting to keep the women “his love” trapped… just my view
oh and i think this video is very creative… i think ppl just dont understand it or its not what they r used to so they hate… if u dont like it u dont like it but dont hate on someone who is trying to express something… maybe you just need to broaden your musical taste
