Love Lockdown has taken over the #1 spot on iTunes already. And he confirmed that hes finished the video and all that remains is his decision as to what final edit he likes the most. So we'll be getting that soon as well...this era seems off to an even more solid start than Cant Tell Me Nothing was for Graduation. Airplay is also a good look for Ye with an audience of 6.265 as of 9/18/2008. Considering adds arent until the 30th, its looking strong!

All I know is that "Love Lockdown" is straight up fire. Loving it.
Can't wait for the new CD.

love this song

I think that Lockdown is great......But Kanye is a rap artist and his vocals aren't suited to such a song.

^Tru hell maybe he'll shock us like Fantasia did when she Debut at number 1 with her single

This album better be the ****! Love Lockdown is the best song I have heard this year!

just woke up from a quick studio nap... I've been workin' on 808s and Heartbreak about 16 hrs a day and Superman passed out for a little bit... I'm in hawaii but I'm still on NY time so I wake up mad early, do some business, blog, jog for an hour, play ball, eat and then hit the stu by noon. While approving the final cut for the Love Lockdown vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago. I'm very excited about the everything... I guarantee this will be 50's favorite album of mine. This will be gangster's album of the year.

I heard 50cents album was coming out the week before.

....

50 is no comp anymore...

Nobody takes fiddy srsly anymore, he just should stop. He needs to realize Kanye & Weezy are the hot rappers now & thet Game is part of their crew.

If ****** cent thinks hes still relevant after the flop G-Unit album he has another thing coming

50 Cent will always get buzz so I guess if he makes good music again, he could get back but never again is he Kanye comp.

He's a sellout like TI but nobody takes him seriously anymore like they do with TI ... if he gets desperate & goes with Justin or Timbaland again he's done.

T.I. will be lucky to sell 500k, I don't think those pop hits will help him at all.

lol they will. Whatever U Like is a urban song & it plays all the time here, i dont see why pop playing it would hurt him. Live Your Life is gonna be huge on both as well ... he cant lose.

I'm saying, his CORE fans he will lose maybe, "Live Your Life" may revive it though, but artist like Young Jeezy can sell 200k+ with a flop single.
