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!

  • azdelish

    I miss the humble Kanye

  • iluvprada

    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.

  • Oshie (“we’re here speaking to the mad rapper today, and, quite frankly, he’s very mad”)

    Song sucks, video is subpar.

  • samira

    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.

  • …kayne..

    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.:)

  • spinner 22

    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

  • Gyrl

    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

  • Stellargirl Swag!!!!!!

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! I love kanye, but this song and video suck- HARD!!

  • white male

    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

  • spinner 22

    Rofl kanye hilarious on ellen

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (Keepin’ It Real – D’Original)

    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.

    @samira

    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…

  • no names were left

    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.

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    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

  • DA TRUFF ??? YOU CAN’T HANDLE DA TRUFF!!!!!!!

    KANYE BEING KANYE……….

    A BLACK MAN DOING IT ALL FOR THE BLACK WOMAN!!!!!

  • interesting

    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.

  • spinner 22

    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

  • it’smesuprise

    Not my fave kanye song but overall i like the song and video…

  • no names were left

    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.

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    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

  • Superwoman (There are no colcks in Las Vegas Gambling casinos)

    I’m diggin that song the beat is sick!

  • Yadadamean?

    Wutduhfuk????

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    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

  • I’m Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!!!

    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’m Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!!!

    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 :D :D

  • iluvprada

    Different strokes for different folks! I still say he could have done better!

  • Creole Baby Says Y’all Haters Betta Get On Ya Job Bebe

    who?

  • kadian

    kanye always do things outta the box, he’s a great artist. luv the video

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    LMAO at the rim job comment

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHhahahahahHAHAAHHhahahaHAHAHAHA

  • The Grundle

    I want my 4 minutes back ’cause that was crap

  • InsertDopeWordsHere

    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.

  • InsertDopeWordsHere

    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.

  • D@ Pop3

    Love The Song, Hot Video..Kanye West Is The Truth…U Asswipes Dont Have Taste In Anything..

  • Mock Rock Star(I thought I was going to be Mrs. Kravitz)

    Not digging the Roger from Zapp voice-box, but at the end of the video it reminds me of Requiem for a Dream

  • http://myspace/chunkstar ChunkStarr

    The song? ehhhh Its something that has to grow on you!!

  • LaSabre84

    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!

  • Anton Slizzardhands

    this is an abomination

  • http://thatblackmagic.blogspot.com Keith

    I like this song and video. Kanye does it again.

  • kevin

    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?

  • I’m Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!!!

    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.

  • I’m Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!!!

    ^^^^^^^^^

    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.

  • LOLLIIIPOP!!!

    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.

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    You people have squid brains

  • I’m Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!!!

    ^^^^

    Must be talking about yourself.

  • CadillacLove

    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.

  • Simply Mei

    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.

  • desiree

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!…THE VIDEO? NOT SO MUCH…

  • sexema73

    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

  • aiil

    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

  • whateva

    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

  • ch3

    ^^^^

    you call this hip hop…?

    stfu.

  • Mr Wes

    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…..
