this is a cool track...but i dont know whether 2 call kanye a rapper anymore
rapping was wen kanye did joints like "jesus walks", "2 words", "through the wire"....but now i dont know wat he is doin and he has gone way overboard with the autotone shit (it sounds good but he needs 2 go back 2 the real him)
i think i like the live version better, where he isnt on that vocoder ish. i like kanye because he generally pours his heart and soul into his tracks, and you can really feel that through the emotion in his voice, but you lose all of that emotion when he uses the vocoder and sings in a monotonous robot voice. so if this song was straight rapping and singing, no tpain, i would love it but he loses so much of what makes him who he is when he uses the vocoder that its just ok
i like this song,kanyes lucky becaus hes built a career where he can make these songs and pull them off.look out for a cd called the death of adam made by 88 keys n co produced by kanye thats where that viagra stay up song is off that album will be decent too
Over the years hiphop record sales have dropped off the chart. It is obvoius that the hiphop community is in need for something new/fresh/diffrent. Kanye has been pushing the envolope of what is “cool” since 2words with mos def (another classic I.M.O.) So with this 808 and heartbreaks it will show us (advide hiphop listeners) if we need to step up and mix up the rap game with more edgy useage of music. Not just on point flows and amazing medaphors, use shit out side the box like Charles Hamiltion. Now the reason charles hamiltion is outside the box is because this fool is fucking weird. (.Period) His ideas on life are just fucxking bizare. But do this, Download his first mixtape (Death of the MixTape Rapper) and then listen to L.A.X. (The Game, for you ultra slowmo hoes) and RawFootage (IceCube)… Tell me you dont fucking amazed by this lil ass 20 yearold weirdo… I havent hurd someone with word useage that is so uniqe and (dare i say) easy to follow. Im calling Chariles Hamiltion the greatest rapper alive because HipHop has to change because it is dieing… I belive that artists like Kanye and Chariles are what the game needs…
cosign Eazyy.. kanye is real original and i like how hes been doin it lately but i hope he doesnt turn into t pain and start makin that voice box a regular thing on all his tracks for this album
why is he always on that tpain shit.. why couldn't he be the same since he came in the game screaming out chi town now days hes on japenese/ t-pain shit
if u dont like the tpain shit dont buy his album
kanye west is the one person in the game who takes the most risk. so if u dont like dont buy wen kanye see hes not sellin that much he will change up the style
I def. disagree with the hip hop is changing shit... Hip-Hop is hip-hop all they can really change is the lyrics as in what rappers all rapping about these days but you can change the genre. Rock is rock, RnB is RnB and Hip-Hop is Hip-Hop. You can have a sub-genre but this t-pain singing shit is not hip-hop all it is, is rappers singing and the t-pain voice (for the most part) covering up how bad they sing. Don't get it twisted this is not hip-hop just a rapper singing and lol at you for saying Chariles Hamiltion is the best rapper alive. Yeah he is different but does that make you the best? Those "special" kids in your school were different but does that make them the best students?
why is he always on that tpain shit.. why couldn't he be the same since he came in the game screaming out chi town now days hes on japenese/ t-pain shit
DIS SHIT IGHT THO..I WANT EIN HATE ON DIS ONE...HOPE ITZ DA SECOND SINGLE...SINCE 80 PERCENT OF 808 N HEARTBREAK GON N SINGN..IM GLAD WE FOUND AH COUPLE RAP LYRICZ
LMAO @ chimere! "I dont let woman drive me anywhere anymore." lol, you dumb as hell. Feeling this much more than love lockdown. Sound exactly like a tpain song. But i REALLY hope the whole album aint like this
"this shit hard as hell"??!??!??! this is hard?!??! funny .. kayne is turning the game into a big joke... this shit doesnt go "hard" this is the softest shit thats come out since fucking ricky martin kaynes turning yall into homo thugs...no homo8-)
This bitch go live!
Ya'll trippin! Kanye is definitely the best thing to happen to hip hop EVER!
Fuck that, music, EVER! He isn't trying to take over the rap world, he trying to take of music!!
He's is the most creative nigga with the balls to be different than former into a "thug" because who seriously is born wanting to be a gangster? That ain't shit you want. So what if Kanye is rapping about the lighting side of the world, it takes away from all the bullshit we're put through.
I guess this whole album goin be love songs. I like the song so far. I thought the whole album was goin be different shit like Love Lockdown. At least he rapped this time.
No matter if it is all love songs kanye cant help but to add his ego some how. If you listen to Lovelockdown he is telling some chick he has to leave because she would slow him down... I hurd heartless snippet saying something like "My freind showed my pics of his kids all i could do was show pics of my cribs"
That line is cold, and somewhat sad that the same time. Kanye will forever be putting out fire. And sometimes if might only meen something to some people. I can see why alot of people hatin on Love lockdown but their are alot more people out there feeling the style.
i think ye's concepts are strange yet magnificent. ppl wudnt understand it unless u really think bout it. ppl 1st thought of love lockdown as him goin thru a relationship which was part but not all of it. but long story short ye's doin his thang even wit tha t-pain shit.
hip hop isnt on the radio fools... what do u expect from an album called 808's and heartbreak....if your looking to THAT for YOUR HIP HOP....your as lost as the genre you claim
It's nice, at least he rappin. I hope there'll be a Flashing-Lights type song on the album where Ye actually spits but is able to tell the story of a relationship.
This is better than Love Lockdown, but that's easy to be. Still haven't heard anything great, different, but not great. I also don't believe that he really produced that "Swagger Like Us" beat, b/c it's way more complex than the other beats he's been putting out lately. One of his subordinate producers did it and he took the credit, as usual.
This song is legite... Its different but ill tell you what... its a lot better then most hip hop today for example souljaboy... and another thing kanye is putting all of himself into these songs so they have meanings and not like supermannin some hoe which is plain silly... so i def got kanyes back all the way with this album...
man why everybody hating on the autotune so bad.....blame the artists for not using it right .....but as far as this song goes im fully supporting innovation.
this track sounds better than half the shit thats been on hear in a minute
excluding the ludacris tracks. and this is just a snippet......
ITS A STR8 TRACK BUT I THINK HE SHUD STICK 2 RAPPIN ITS LIKE MA MANS NAS SAY NIGGAS WANT 2KING BUT CANT HANDLE DA PAIN USE 2RAP NOW THEY ALL WANT 2 SING
Yall niggaz need to stop hatin on unique shit...Kanye is a genius...This track is fire and Kanye next album gonna be an instant classic....and if yall don't like it yall dont gotta listen to it...yall could go listen to Uncle Murda or Maino or someshit...stop hating on an ARTIST...bitches!!!
that is some hot shit. Kanye is the only one in the game who mixes it up every time, and I really do not understand all these people who keep hating. Try thinking about it as a song, not a song with the stupid vocoder, cuz at the end of the day, if its hot its hot.
808s & Heartbreak is possibly gonna be a milestone for hiphop
im feelin this shit i like da song but if every song on da cd like this wit da tpain voice ima get really sick of it was but ye one of ma favorite rappers so idk ima have to wait and see when i cop da album but this track nice tho
kanye's creative and yes he can get away with this, I think the albums gonna be fresh, not like anything we've heard before, and I welcome that, the guy can rap, he'll never give that up, but this is good. kanye's been through a bit this year, this is his vent.
i think kanye is the best with the voice effect besides t-pain an im feelin dis track kanye album is gonna be exclusive 1.T-Pain 2.Kanye West 3.50 Cent 4.Lil Wayne
This shit is wack to me. He came out with a buzz on Graduation with "can't tell me nothing and flashing lights" these new songs aren't popping to me. That's just my opinion, you can love it or leave it.
Man All Yu Niggaz Is So Heartless Haha Naw But This Song Straight Guess We Jus Gotta Get Use 2 This Kanye Buz Dnt Seem Like He Khangin His Mind Bout This Shid...
This Joint is gunna rock fo real...The song is gunna be sick, but I'm worried about the album. Idk how thats gunna be. I'm worried it's gunna be a lotta slow/different songs and the general public won't fuck w/ it. But this chorus is a hook freal...go ahead Ye
This song's aight. I mean like it's pretty g00d kompared to tha bullshit artists' put out these days. Yeah I agree with tha people that like kanye's older music. Still ain't bad tho, but artists' should leave tha autotune in 08, if it's used in 09, then idk what tha fuck's wrong with people.
i strongly disagree on what they talked about on the parker report. "you must ask t-pain before you use the vocoder" "or make a shoutout to him" now i am feelin this track but this is soon becoming a wide spread epidemic. i believe that if niggas can't sing to start with they aint gotta use some shit to make em sound robotic. now some tunes with the usage of the vocoder i felt ( sexual eruption, shot down shit like that) but the main reason i felt sexual eruption is cuz snoop also layed down a verse. if you must resort to the use of a vocoder atleast keep the fans in mind and throw in a verse.
I ain't gonna lie, its pretty nice. everyone is complaining bout the vocoder. its what's "IT" now, just like snap was in when i was in high school. idk, i might surpass this purchase, but it will prob be critically-acclaimed regardless, its good music even if its not TRADITIONAL hip-hop.
get use 2 kanye singing bcuz word is he gonna b singing 80% of the time on da next album..dat shit hurts me..i never had 2 second guess buyin a kanye album da day it comes out...he better dont b mad if he dont win best rap album again
COMMENTS
I'm glad Kanye keeps pushing hip hop's limits
alot of people like that t-pain shit. i mean i have no problem with it just dont make EVERY song like that.
this is a cool track...but i dont know whether 2 call kanye a rapper anymore
rapping was wen kanye did joints like "jesus walks", "2 words", "through the wire"....but now i dont know wat he is doin and he has gone way overboard with the autotone shit (it sounds good but he needs 2 go back 2 the real him)
nice track otherwise
i think i like the live version better, where he isnt on that vocoder ish. i like kanye because he generally pours his heart and soul into his tracks, and you can really feel that through the emotion in his voice, but you lose all of that emotion when he uses the vocoder and sings in a monotonous robot voice. so if this song was straight rapping and singing, no tpain, i would love it but he loses so much of what makes him who he is when he uses the vocoder that its just ok
i think hes just doing this cuz its a phase in his life....
i hope its not a permanent phase
i like this song,kanyes lucky becaus hes built a career where he can make these songs and pull them off.look out for a cd called the death of adam made by 88 keys n co produced by kanye thats where that viagra stay up song is off that album will be decent too
I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!
cosign Eazyy.. kanye is real original and i like how hes been doin it lately but i hope he doesnt turn into t pain and start makin that voice box a regular thing on all his tracks for this album
First 5 secs pissed me off!
As soon as I heard the vocoder I was frustrated!
Instantly...
THIS IS NOT PUSHING HIP HOP to it's highest limits!
This shit is yet another rendition of him following the latest trend.
Sick of this shit...
~Be Eazy!
FierceSnake - "I'm glad Kanye keeps pushing hip hop's limits"
this isnt hip hop
its pop
thats not an opinion
kanye said it
i like this better than love lockdown
why is he always on that tpain shit.. why couldn't he be the same since he came in the game screaming out chi town now days hes on japenese/ t-pain shit
Most Of His Album Is Gonna Be With That T-Pain Shit
if u dont like the tpain shit dont buy his album
kanye west is the one person in the game who takes the most risk. so if u dont like dont buy wen kanye see hes not sellin that much he will change up the style
^^^^ i don't plan on it since its like this
this is nice, Mo 'Ye please!

It's nice, at least he rappin. I hope there'll be a Flashing-Lights type song on the album where Ye actually spits but is able to tell the story of a relationship.
your dumb.
agreed with bronco. your truly an idiot.
i have no proof or evidence, so i cant agree or disagree whether or not he actually did produce it......
but if your claiming kanye is INCAPABLE of producing something like swagger like us....then i KNOW...FOR A FACT... you're wrong
This joint is aight, but it is better than Love Lockdown.
This song is legite... Its different but ill tell you what... its a lot better then most hip hop today for example souljaboy... and another thing kanye is putting all of himself into these songs so they have meanings and not like supermannin some hoe which is plain silly... so i def got kanyes back all the way with this album...

kanye's creative and yes he can get away with this, I think the albums gonna be fresh, not like anything we've heard before, and I welcome that, the guy can rap, he'll never give that up, but this is good. kanye's been through a bit this year, this is his vent.
this cold brings more passion everytime
i think kanye is the best with the voice effect besides t-pain an im feelin dis track kanye album is gonna be exclusive 1.T-Pain 2.Kanye West 3.50 Cent 4.Lil Wayne
kanye keeps proving hes more than a rapper
This shit is wack to me. He came out with a buzz on Graduation with "can't tell me nothing and flashing lights" these new songs aren't popping to me. That's just my opinion, you can love it or leave it.
Man All Yu Niggaz Is So Heartless Haha Naw But This Song Straight Guess We Jus Gotta Get Use 2 This Kanye Buz Dnt Seem Like He Khangin His Mind Bout This Shid...

This Joint is gunna rock fo real...The song is gunna be sick, but I'm worried about the album. Idk how thats gunna be. I'm worried it's gunna be a lotta slow/different songs and the general public won't fuck w/ it. But this chorus is a hook freal...go ahead Ye
I can't really listen to it...can't get pass the "T-Pain thingy"
Sounds much better than Love Lockdown though. Still...its Kanye. I expect...more. But maybe I shouldn't...
His beats are...on a decline. He's definately...going into a different music genre.
Step it up 'Ye.
Peace!
This song's aight. I mean like it's pretty g00d kompared to tha bullshit artists' put out these days. Yeah I agree with tha people that like kanye's older music. Still ain't bad tho, but artists' should leave tha autotune in 08, if it's used in 09, then idk what tha fuck's wrong with people.

im feeling this
kanye is one of his best because he sets trends and comes out with stuff differnt everytime. he is one of the best producers in the game.
This is my type of kanye shit when the full track drops it will be going straight into the mp3 no doubt bout that?
Guaduation was 2 good? I was playing wonder the other day and shit is still raw like this joint here!
How could you be so heartless.......
