Kanye To Rerelease Love Lockdown, 50 Cent Offers Support

by JOKESTA

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2008

Rapper Kanye West must be keeping his ears to the streets. The "Good Life," hitmaker is planning to rerelease his latest single, "Love Lockdown."

A very rough version of the track, which is the lead single to West's forthcoming LP, "808's & Heartbreak," hit the web after debuting at this years MTV Video Music Awards. 

"There's a new version of love Love Lockdown coming. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it," says Kanye on his blog. 

For the fans who have been expressing their discontent with West's heavy use of Auto-Tune lately, fear not, the rapper addressed your gripes as well. 

"If you don't like autotune... too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!"

In related news, Hip Hop power player 50 cent took some time to express his support for West after mocking him in concert last week.

Fif admits he was shocked when he heard West had been arrested on vandalism charges after attacking a photographer at Los Angeles' LAX airport last week.

"I hope he's all right... He's gonna pay for that. I hope everything works out for him because, away from you having to pay your bail money and then you have to go through your legal fees and you have to go through the civil trial" said 50 during an interview at the Righteous Kill UK premiere. 

"At some points it's uncomfortable... but now you have to accept it. Everyone has a cell phone... and can take pictures. I guess he wasn't in the mood that day. It's not the first time a star has got into it with the paparazzi; I think they actually look for it." Fif continued.

Trashing people for expressing a legitimate opinion on Kanye's song is such a bitch move.
Hatin' ain't pretty.
So stop it.

you know what...Kanye obviously isn't listening to his FANS (not haters) about this Auto-Tune stuff. Kanye is my favorite rapper...BUT if he's going to rap and sing with Auto-Tune...then this isn't Kanye West anymore...o.k i can see a few songs with Auto-Tune just b/c it's cool to play with or whatever...but he needs to come around.

OH! and that comment: "If you don't like autotune... too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!"

come on Kanye...don't lie dawg...we've heard your mixtapes...and CD's...no hits of Auto-Tune in those...

didn't every real Kanye West fan come from his early mixtapes and the College Dropout?...Hip-Hop

...am i wrong?...seriously...i want to know what yall think?

If he wants to use autotune than he will use autotune. Typing that you disagree with it online does nothing.

I think Kanye making a statement like that is a smack in the face of the very fans who he was clamoring for when he 1st came out.

Not saying that all fans are gonna like everything that a musician does. And an artist SHOULD have a creative a license to try whatever they so choose........

But with that being said i think his creative license is running out. He is quickly being exposed as not so much a "Prince" type artist who is blazing his own trail but more of a guy who is running with whats popular in the "rapper" circle.

I think Kanye is drunk on fame more than ever and has forgotten how he got here.

And for the record he has never used the Auto Tune on any record he has ever done previous to now. I checked!

its used on spaceship and hey mama... but he didnt abuse the settings like t-pain duz untill now... and why does everybody get on kanye's case about auto-tune but nobdy said anything about lil wayne... DICK RIDERS... i like lil wayne.. hes NICE but he isnt the best and the c3 wasnt a classic...anywayz kanye is trying to do what popular in the "rapper" circle, his own fans are telling him they dont like the auto-tune... but hes using it anywayz... hes not TRYING to be different hes just being himself... it doesn make since to try to be different by being the same as eveybody else when everybody is trying to be different... point blank if yur trying to be different u dont USE AUTOTUNE (in that way)...so he's obviously trying to be himself... so fuck it let him be and if u dont like it then u dont... i think i will... even tho i dont like love lockdown... and btw he's an artist who CAN rap, why should that be the only thing hes allowed to do... and love lockdown isnt in te hiphop genre it is in POP... he meant to do that
