Audio: New Gem From Kanye + Heat From His Big Bro..
Posted on September 10, 2008 by Sleezy Trees
LOVE LOCKDOWN! Straight out the engineer’s hands and into your ears. Not sure this is the final version or not – but Kanye leaked it on his own blog, so uh.. yeah it’s close enough to the final to warrant a posting about it on JTTS. If this is the final version, I must say – I love it. The sound is pure rawness. The non EQ’d / Auto-Tuned Vocals .. FIRE.
DOWNLOAD: Kanye West – Love Lockdown – From the new album tentatively dropping December 16th, (get that christmas money) titled 808’s & Heartbreak. Yep, that’s the title according to Amazon.
Yeezy also appeared @ the Knitting Factory last night for a little impromptu performance. Eskay @ NahRight had the video — which I’m lacing for you here:
And I gotta keep the Roc-A-Fella train rolling… the Jiggaman checks in with 2 features on 2 heaters.
DOWNLOAD: Jadakiss feat. Jay-Z – Who Run This? – Jadakiss’ Roc-A-Fella Debut – I’m excited like it’s 1998 about this track. Dope.
DOWNLOAD: Raphael Saadiq feat. Jay-Z – Oh Girl (Remix) – Jay-Z singing(?) the intro.. This song is incredible.
I’m going to g’head and say this might be the blog post of the month.

your endorsement of that Kanye track confuses me. i am missing something here.
Me too? I think he is being sarcastic
Well here’s why I like it -
not only does it sound like nothing Kanye has ever produced, it also sounds raw as fuck.
I mean – the dude has access to the greatest studio equipment in the world, and it sounds like it was recorded on Garage Band.
It’s just something different and I feel the rawness kinda adds to the message of the song.
Of course, this could just be an early version of the track –
