chorus lacks the energy the live version had.same could probably be said about most of the momentsin the song.and the live version sounds more finished than this, although this version has percussion nearing the end

to put it simply, delivery wise the live version is better.When it comes to the actual version (if the one above is the one that's gonna be released to the public), than you could give me just the instrumental any day

rant over

I actually like the verses better than on the live version, they sound less auto tune-ish. But the chours sound way weaker compared to the live one, no emotions. We'll see if this grows on me, it's definetly more enjoyable than Stronger, that was one annoying track.

I guess Rappers are the new singers. I like the track, but a rap verse wouldn't be bad.

well i cant call Kanye a wack rapper based off this song...cuz this isn't rap! >:(

fuck autotune...the industries new toy. :grumpy:

as far for whatever this is...its just bad, Kanye should stick to a "Graduation sound" for the rest of the album. i'll allow this cut for sales purposes only lol.

the beauty of kanye is he actually is an innovator, while artists like 50 talk about it kanye really does bring out fresh sounding shit.

goto admit though, he might need timbaland to input again, its missing something!!!! could be a bit better, but i like the concept of the song and how its been made.

as a matter of face, this forum is packed full of people that will say its wack because its kanye, and its not hardcore rap... when they like the song but dont want to fall out of the accepted dubcc groove... which is "all commercial music sucks, only underground shit is good"

song is pretty nice. I duno if hes gonna keep that radio mixed voice effect or not. He needs to just clear it up and make it crisp, thats why you guys think its lacking emotion. just sounds dull at the moment. good concept, but needs to be mixed right.

my guess is the album will have a similar feel to it as this track... kanye is good at sticking to a theme in his music... i hope he raps over a few songs, but i guess we'll see how it goes!

anyway, i'm not one to endorse autotune but this is actually fucking sick! kind of has a old school Sade or Grace Jones kind of feel to it minus the autotune

Title: Re: Kanye West - Love Lockdown *Not Live*
Post by: T-Dogg on September 11, 2008, 11:15:46 AM
I'm not sure if I like it or hate it.

The live performance sure had more energy to it, the song sounded better then.

The instrumental is pretty cool, I guess, but it could benefit from some drums throughout, not just on the chorus.

Usually I hate autotune as much as the next guy, but I think it helps this song, actually. But only because of the real problem in the song:

Kanye isn't a singer. His voice just can't carry stuff like this. I think without autotune this song would be worse off, simply 'cause Kanye's voice alone can't deliver melodic singing. It's painfully obvious during the chorus. Though I gotta say that somebody else, who can really sing (and doesn't need autotune to have color in his/her singing voice), would've made a hit out of this I think.

So I guess that as it is, I hate it. But change the singer, remove the autotune and leave everything else as it is - I'd really like to hear the results of that, actually.

if it was a new upcoming dude, and you liked it thats one thing...but when Kanye says, im droppin an album, i expect a good/great rap cd. i don't want one of the FEW great mainstream artists to pump out some strange non-Kanye style (we know) music. i wanna hear something better than "Graduation", and him singing might be a classic blues album or WHATEVER this is lol, but it isnt rap...not what Kanye should be doing... :-\
