Kanye West the most relevant rapper of the 21st century

[IVIcIVIuffin]

Thats such a sick jacker!! Cashmere

[thisis18plus]

hard song to sing .... hard even with the autotune.... well done.... great performance

beautiful music

[omnicronvegas]

and thumbs up for the taiko drums!

[omnicronvegas]

it's strange how people think less of "digital music" as if it is somehow less, and by disliking it, it makes their "tastes" more refined. (snobs), shame, they are missing out on the musical experiences us more musically liberal are enjoying:)

[FCPAB]

mama ce fals canta



[LyricalGMusic]

He is such a great entertainer.. he is worth every penny in concert.. Only downside to it when I went to go see him was he kept everybody waiting an hour after all the support bands and all the fans were furious they were waiting so long in cramped heated conditions..

[aidanmckay4]

He doesn't deserve all them Grammys.... auto tune and sampling songs.... yeah right

[lukeee89]

@aidanmckay4 you clearly don't know anything about making music.

[nubbynig]

@aidanmckay4 this was his first time autotuning an album, he does deserve his grammys, and every producer does sampling

[lckoth32]

why does everyone hate auto-tune so much when it can help make music as good as this? who cares if hes not a professional singer, the auto-tune helped the feel of the song and makes it easier to listen to the singing

[davvidd19]

@sam156nz ...this guy must be a retard. If this song doesn't have passion then the dolphing could fly to the moon....

[bizzywizzy321123]

The only album he connected with the most(In my opinion).

[RobinErikssonz]

now kanye got 14 grammys =)

[1Reasonabledoubt2]

Performance was wild, I like it... Letterman is hilarious lol

[sam156nz]

its a shame the song doesnt have that much passion in it.. simpsons comic store guy- best live performance ever!

[BMGgiantsfan]

by far his best performance live. ever. the verses were so good and the chorus was aewsome. he sounds lke he needs to clear his throught during the chorus, but it actually works really well.

[davvidd19]

@BMGgiantsfan i still think that the performance from vh1 storytellers was better, but not by far. I like so much that almost every performance of love lockdown is different than the one before.

[e36mmm]

@BMGgiantsfan i went to this concert for heartbreak album in 09 at melbourne australia and it was better than this :) hes an amazing performer

[ohilikeyou]

He takes quick rapid breath before every line you can hear it. I dont know if it adds or takes from the song. Whatever. Your mom.

[BigPapiKay]

lol. wtf is up with Letterman talking about "whoa buddy whoa buddy whoa buddy"

[WaveLayy]

that was incredible. especially the drum precession more than Kanye's performance..thats hard to do. Outbeat Ye.

[goeagles86]

its pretty amazing if u thing about it. kanye (an average singer at best) could pull this kind of style off and sell millions, one day its gonna hit eveyone, probably when hes dead, that this man is a genius an innovator and a great entertainer. WOOAAAA BUDDY!

[kkkalalkksasf]

@goeagles86 agreed

[BFXhaos]

@goeagles86 he didnt come up for singing, his rap brought him in the industry and when he started singing people just rolled with it

[zsicherman]

theres flat notes that even the pitch correction can't save. its like he's wearing vocal training wheels

[ebedell23]

Kanye is WD-infinity and was the foundation for what was the golden couple, Bradica wouldnt of happened with out you mr. west thank you and keep bumpin it up while u do ur thing and be safe cause we love you. for real

[BigPapiKay]

letterman is hilarious

[hitguy7878]

Kanye is the greatest of all time. Fuck all you haters. G.O.O.D music is in the building. best record label in the world. The Rock is still alive.

[countvoncount123]

he is using pitch correction

[r0udy]

who cares

[longdick]

actually he isnt half bad.

[andante24]

You can't really because you are not hearing just his voice

[kharisma26]

mr west should stick to rapping

[SplatterFreak]

He does what he feels like, he said he didn't make a name as a rapper, he made himself a name as a musician and so he has the freedom to do any kind of music he wants to do, and I really like that about him

[Spanish1014]

just be cause he said he made his name as a musician doesnt mean he did what has he made that has any kind of good real music in it...nothing

[sam156nz]

this is a great performance. great energy at the end. and without the help of studio his voice has great variation .not many singers can say that

[Mutilate1002]

Oh wow everyone who thinks this singing is bad needs to stop listening to all the dumbass cursing music that every rapper makes. THEY ALL CURSE AT LEAST 20 TIMES EVERY LINE!!! God damn. none of you rap lovers would know music even if it bit you on all your nuts and all your nipples.

[JAYCZero]

shit I atleast give him credibility for doing what he does, other people have to depend on other people's shit to make music and doing the same shit over and over again.Kanye is doing something different, yeah his voice is not near perfection but he got heart for doing it ,instead other people trying waste there breath rejecting him and not doing a damn thing

[SpartanSupra]

damn ngguh cant sing in this concert

[bongoboy45]

it's pronounced "Kanye West"

[JillyBeanO]

KENYA West?

[Frederikamusic]

kinda ridiculous... don't take yourself that seriously man... you lose all credibility. the music is shit.

[virtualinvasion]

holy autotune, batman

[hmoogle]

Lawl, Kenya West.

[darksnow07]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I was laughing my head off! xD

[nowonder07]

One of the most overated wannabe singers. Listen to this garbage. This idiot compares himself to Elvis, now that is an insult not only to Elvis but to the entire music industry. What a freaking joke!

[halmi3000]

well i liek kanye and also this song ... but honestly he got nooo voice, he should lipsynch next time ... this must be a joke

[thehyecircus]

The album version of this song sounds like a childish effort compared to this. This one has so much more depth and sound and emotion than the rather repetitive and boring album version.

[blurry444]

Yea I completely agree, although I think something was wrong with him on Letterman... his voice kept cracking and when he was breathing in it sounds like hes wheezing.

[thehyecircus]

I think it adds a nice rhythm to the song.

[Slugger0016]

<3 Kanye

i hope he releases a live version like this of the song. i think i like it better than the album version.

what's going on with his hair though?

[bigjokk]

i love kanye, but he needs to lighten up. he should be out there doing his thing having a good time

he takes himself way too seriously. his speech at the amas is case in point.
