Kanye West – “Love Lockdown”

The wait is over, boys and girls. Here’s a hi-res mp3 of “Love Lockdown,” as promised. It failed to do what Kanye’s leadoff singles have done in the past — blow my mind away at first listen. I’ve never heard a hook with this much distortion on it. If you must use Auto-Tune, do so in moderation. That said, the beat is flawless.

According to BGDB, the album is titled 808s & Heartbreak. The tentative release date is December 16th. I’ll let you know when I find out more. Hip-hop lives.

Update: Eskizzle has the mastered version of “Love Lockdown”

    The cover is crazy creative. But if this mp3 is the final version i’ll be bumpin the mtv live one thank you.

    Sounds like the master vocal track is missing or some shit.

    Yeah, this isn’t mix and mastered properly yet. If this is the final version, it was mastered very shitty—but ‘Ye has never had that problem with any of this tracks before so the single version on iTunes will probably be the finished track.

    the live version was way better. the vocal effects is what ruin it.
