Kanye’s New Jawn: “Love Lock Down”
Posted by Bossip Staff
Here’s Yeezy’s video for his new single, “Love Lock Down.” Enough with the vocorder crap already people. It’s played. The video itself is unique, however. Hopefully it’ll encourage other artists to start thinking outside of the box.

1st!
I miss the humble Kanye
Ummm…I really don’t care for the video or the song. This is defiantly ‘NOT’ one of my favorites by Kanye!
We are now beginning to see the limitations of Kanyes’ producing abilities.
Feel the vid should have taken a darker tone.
Bossip writes ‘hope other artists start thinking
out the box’.
? How outside the box was this vid when scenes and images were swiped from Busta Rhymes ‘Put Ya Hands Where My Eyes Can See’ vid?
Song sucks, video is subpar.
I think that I am the only person on the planet that actually likes this song. My problem is the video. It’s nice and visually stimulating, but I just don’t get the concept.
I feel that this video was very unique and inspirational indeed. I really liked the whole theme of the video along with the song itself. Kayne is a very creative artist and people fail to realize that its more than music than just shaking your behind, making money and drinking. For once, there is someone who is thinking with culture,diversity, art, and inspirational things that they find inspiring. Only great minds can appreciate this man’s work.:)
getting ready to watch kanye on ellen to see what he has to say its been awhile i watched video i dig it its not my fav of his but appreciate the mans drive
I love this song, merely because it’s so DIFFERENT from every single solitary song that is out right now. Now the video??? umm i dun get it
but the song, yeah this is it
Bossip you’re on crack. Outside the box? Really? This is Kanye leaving the box somewhere never to be seen again. I love Ye, but this shit is wack! It was a wack performance on the VMAs and the video just amplifies the lameness. I understand wanting to be different and tap into the artistry of video production, but come on! NEXT!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! I love kanye, but this song and video suck- HARD!!
Kanye, please stop stick to rapping. You do not have singing on lock down. Once again stick to what you know and leave the other shit to the professionals.
The wack ass people who arent creative enough to understand Kanyeezy’s work need to stay on other posts…stay away haters….
I love this song. I didnt quite understand until I read the lyrics while listening to the track. Its hot. Period. Point. Blank. Kanye is really tryin hard to show his talents but some people just arent ready for it yet. The concept is something I think most of us can relate to, I know I CAN! Its just so creative and I think Kanye really brings shit to the table..
So let me ask the people who are dissing this song or kanye, Please tell me what is good music??
kanye that was weird seriously. looked like a very low budget and weird video. Song might sound good in a club or something so i’ll not judge it yet but not a great vid
Rofl kanye hilarious on ellen
@ Seek the light beyond the shadows..
so who are the professionals??? Who would you rather hear rapping and what should they be rapping about? Bitches, hoes, clothes, and bank rolls??? Yeah I think the professionals have got those things down pat!!
I think that I am the only person on the planet that actually likes this song.
It’s nice and visually stimulating, but I just don’t get the concept.

Naw you ain’t the only one that likes the song… I like the song a lot too… Too many people want there favorite artist to rap/sing about the same stuff (*showing no growth or change) and when the artist decides to experiment or do something different they complain…
The video, I don’t understand it but considering Kanye’s latest moves as it relates to art he wants you to go huh? in order to provoke discussion…
Well I actually really like this song, found myself humming it several times a day, and I kinda grasp the concept of the video….Its Love LOCKDOWN and if you notice that the entire room is sterile and its I guess supposed to be like hes some kind of crazy person in the padded white room whre they makes you hug yourself. However even tho the walls it self isnt padded, you cant mistake the likeness of that too the padded room in the asylum….so basically what i got is that he’s crazy and on lockdown……..hence the reason for all the images we see……..HES CRAZY! lol so he is seeing things.
As for the love part, I havent figured out that one yet, I guess I gotta read the lyrics of the songs I try to figure that out, but in all I loved the video, very interesting and it had me thinking.
The song is butt and the video don’t make no sense. Just because it’s unique I’m supposed to appreciate it? Are you kiddin me??
Next
KANYE BEING KANYE……….
A BLACK MAN DOING IT ALL FOR THE BLACK WOMAN!!!!!
i think the idea is that he has an animalistic, errotic wild love (seen in the tribal dancing), that he is having to control (white walls) out of fear of where his uncontrolled passions have led him before.
No one said just b.c its unique you’re suppose to like it. It’s actually a very good song (concept wise) Im just glad its about somethin we can all relate to instead of showing off your money stacks and bitches.
kanye said on ellen he was thinking of American physco rofl when thinking of one of concepts for the video lol he is so funny
Not my fave kanye song but overall i like the song and video…
I feel that this video was very unique and inspirational indeed. I really liked the whole theme of the video along with the song itself. Kayne is a very creative artist and people fail to realize that its more than music than just shaking your behind, making money and drinking.

i cosign 100 %…. im lovin the video and song
who the hell wants to see another video hoe shake her ass for the same men that are degrading her ?? seems asinine to me .. some people just dont get talent.
FYI : poppin ur ass while gettin champange poured over ur head is not Talent / nor singin/rappin about how much money n whores u have … booo
Its just like when the video for Flashing Lights debut….no one understood it and alot of ppl whats saying that the song is wack and the video is wack………and yet still the song turned out to be a banger cuz it grew on ppl. And even though the video was strange he STILL kept it as it was and didnt change it despite getting alot of flack for it.
Thats one of the many reasons why I like this dude, temper tantrums over sized ego aside dude has talent, he believes in himself and does not back down when faced with oppositon,criticism and so forth when it comes to something he believes in no matter HOW unpopular that belief maybe.
Both Him and Lupe are my two favourite rappers…Lupe being number on followed by Kanye.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Im glad to see there are a few people who are smart enough to recognize this. Kanye keep the good work up!!! I am sooo happy that there is something else to hear about. Real Recognize Real. thats all I got to say.
What is so cultural about black people running around a white room with spears? What exactly does this inspire you to do??

I agree 100%….I like him a lot. I use to not understand, but I do now. I see why he throws fits and stuff, he really does do well at what he does. The man is filled with talent ever since he first came out. If someone critisized your work that YOU believe you do so well, you’d seem egotistical too.
he is weird I don’t like him

jeeeze Encyclopedia Brown. No one said this is what defines and demonstrates the beauty of culture. It’s just an entertaining video. Stop being so hard headed and let’s hear your music and watch your video!!! I am just glad we’re not watching another video filled with video hoes
I’m diggin that song the beat is sick!
Wutduhfuk????
I love this song!!!
If I was a lemming, I’d give a thumbs up to everything he puts out, but I’m not and I just don’t feel this. This $hit is esoteric.
Love Lockdown = Fail
Please stop with ” your not ready for this creativity” first of who is kanye to me? second of all,can we not agree to disagree.This is not a creative video,it looks like a low as budget video. Stop with that nonsense.yall ride this nigga’s dick so hard, it knocked the “cum”-on see out of you. (walks out) creative my ass.
KANYE!!!! BABY!!!! YOU DID IT AGAIN WITH THE SONG!!!
I ACTUALLY LIKE THE VIDEO AS WELL. KANYE WEST DOES VERY LITTLE WRONG IN MY EYES!!
I LOVE YOU KANYE!!!! I REALLY DO…KEEP DOING YOU AND F*CK ALL THE HATERS…JEALOUS AZZ MOTHER F*CKERS!!
But between me and you Kanye….you gonna let me give you that rim job
Not sure about the concept of the video. I imagined that he would be somewhere dark riding down the road or somewhere lost in the jungle
absolute crap, just like all the rest of his shit. he’s nothing more than diddy with rapping skills.

THEN WHAT IS CREATIVE YOU DUMMY??? PLEASE TELL ME WHO ELSE IS TRYING TO PUT OUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT?? IT SEEMS YOU PREFER THINGS THAT ARE THE SAME-GIRLS SHOWING THEIR ASS? LOL WHAT IS CREATIVE, SINCE YOU’RE SUCH A GENIUS
Different strokes for different folks! I still say he could have done better!
song is sick hands down, to many clowns want cliche’s. go listen to lil bussy
who?
kanye always do things outta the box, he’s a great artist. luv the video
exactly creole….”who?”
BOSSIP. It’s not “vocorder” or “vocoder”. All these artists use AUTOTUNE. Vocoder is more something like Beastie Boys “intergalatic”, or DAFT PUNK.
LMAO at the rim job comment
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHhahahahahHAHAAHHhahahaHAHAHAHA
I want my 4 minutes back ’cause that was crap
I like the song. It’s different and the lyrics are hot. Maybe this was meant for Alexis.. and states his feelings while he was going through the loss of his mother and their break up. Idk, but I like it.
And making it an exclusive on Ellen’s show was pure genius. Her show has outdone Oprah numerous times,in ratings,recently. This song will get crazy spins on hiphop, alternative, and pop stations across the nation.
Love The Song, Hot Video..Kanye West Is The Truth…U Asswipes Dont Have Taste In Anything..
do anything…call it “artistic” and people will fall for it. I call that trash…not creative @ all! Yes, he better spin it on Ellen cause that whitebread audience will ingest every sour note…LOL
Not digging the Roger from Zapp voice-box, but at the end of the video it reminds me of Requiem for a Dream
The song? ehhhh Its something that has to grow on you!!
This is the direction that music needs to take1 I so sick of (Not to offend Atlanta) the Atlanta sound, it is either a dumb as crunk beat, or somebody saying yeahhhhhhhh all the damn time! Kanye is making a legendary path for himself by allowing his creativity speak for it’s self! To me the video represents, love as a tribe that start’s from floor and burst into in emotion of Energetic explosion of how one feels! Big ups to you Kanye!
this shit is terrible.
this is an abomination
I like this song and video. Kanye does it again.
This Kanye’s single is just so-so….. But the point I have to make out is that someone said he is searching someone on one interracial passion site — i n t e r r a c i a l c h a t s.c o m, there are some of his hot pictures.. joke or not?
close minded
this ni99a is singing.
aint shit unique about being whack.
thinking out of the box how? he aint doin
nothin the average white boy aint doin.
you cant tell me this garbage he tryna come out with is “thinkin outside of the box.
everybody wanna be fuccin different.
nobody is fuccin different, he just on some fucc sh3it.
I don’t get you people. I agree, if he had Lola Luv back in there shaking what some refer to as butt implants, you’d be mad about that shyt too. He can’t please half of you crab-in-a-barrel azz nuccas anyway so he might as well do what you like. You only like Kanye when he is doing his workout plan or having someone’s azz shake, but when he is talking about Jesus or people who put material items in front of their individual value, he is whack and boring and you don’t like him. People need to elevate their minds instead of criticizing what they don’t understand.
^^^^^^^^^
He can’t please half of you crab-in-a-barrel azz nuccas anyway so he might as well do what you like.
Typo
Should read: He can’t please half of you crab-in-a-barrel azz nuccas anyway so he migh as well do what HE likes.
Erotic vid..
The white is supposed to symbolize calmness..everything outside appers calm, while on the inside he has this war going on(which is why they showed the Afrikan Warriors)for this beautiful black woman who he invisions in his mind as an Afrikan Queen who’s beauty is above all. When he see her all he can do is look and stare…
Been there before..lol..
I like the vid. I love the way Kanye thinks outside the box.
You people have squid brains
^^^^
Must be talking about yourself.
love the orignality, nothing like this has been done since the early 90’s.
Well I love this song. I seems to me it is about his ex, Alexis. I admit, I would have like the video to go more with the song but, no video really makes sense these days…..For you people who dont like the song, you should try reading the lyric while you listen to it. It really is a good song.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I wish he could have done without the synthesizer, but other than that I love the lyrics… real emotion, the track. It reminds me of a Phil Collins/Miami Vice type track. It’s different.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!…THE VIDEO? NOT SO MUCH…
Love the song Kanye is so creative and for the people that aint feelin it you entitled to your own opinion but i think it is fire true creativity good job Kanye
IT IS NOT WHACK. PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING IT’S WAHACK ARE THE WHACK ONES.
YOU KNOW WHAT ITS ABOUT TIMES KANYE COINS A NAME FOR HIS LOYAL FANS. CAUSE YE I GOT YOUR BACK TILL THE END. THE SONG IS GOOD(DIDN’T LIKE THE PERFORMANCE AT THE VMA’ TOO MUCH BUT THE VIDEO IS FANTASTIC
this is a very creative video too bad some ppl are too closed mind to appreciate it…
its like all yall know is ass shaking, cloths,cars and bling all of which non of yall have…
then black ppl get mad when folks stereotype rap but will criticize a man that is trying to get other races and his race to see rap/hiphop in a different light..losers
^^^^
you call this hip hop…?
stfu.
That model Baje was in Kayne’s video ‘Love Lock Down’. She’s painted in glow in the dark colors on the left hand side towards the end of the video…sexy as hell!
oh.. and she just wrote a book called A Gold Digger’s Guide AGoldDiggersGuide.com
her myspace.com/ModelBaje
This video is about him in love with his culture , his history and about his life being out of this world and full of women and bright lights and they come together…. the women are compating with his culture. He is going back and forth between them both. more and more people come in his culture but they cant compare with the Fam. He doesnt know what to do…..
