Only a week after Kanye West streamed his new single “Love Lockdown” on his website, the rapper returned to his blog to report that he has already re-recorded the track. “Your prayers have been answered!! There’s a new version of love Love Lockdown coming. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s being Mastered now….,” West says in a post. The artwork for the single has also been modified with “perfected type 4″ font to appease all the “design snobs, lol…” West adds, “Sidebar… if you don’t like autotune… too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!!!” Despite all the exclamation points and ellipses, ‘Ye refrains from actually posting the song, but we expect it’ll drop sooner than later [UPDATE: The answer was "sooner"]. West’s next album, possibly titled 808’s & Heartbreak, may or may not be released on December 16th.

didn’t he make like 35 versions of stronger? I’m pretty sure he’s gonna release just as many of this song, he just likes the general sheep to salivate over his every move, so he’s putting out a crappy version first then making it progressively better.

Brent, you’re probably right. This version is a major improvement on the last one though. He mumbled his way through the first round.

After seeing this horrible song on the VMAs I am surprised to see there is a buzz around it. kanye is mediocre at best but because of the disgusting state of mainstream rap, he somehow is interpreted as a ‘genius’. He can’t sing, so he autotunes the hell out of his voice. He’s no ray charles but you KNOW he thinks he is better than than ray charles. i’m so sick of hearing this narcissist babble on about how great he is.

this song was a good hit but making 1000 cds of it will make people hate it i’m on of those people i don’t think its a great idea to lose all of your fans by selling he same songs
