As most of you may already know, Heartless is #1 on iTunes, and Love Lockdown is #9 (or somethin like that). However, Kanye has just released more updated versions of Heartless & Love Lockdown on his blog to download.......FOR FREE!! Here are the links:

Love Lockdown: http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blo...m3281=&em3161=

Heartless: http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blo...m3281=&em3161=

So does anyone else think this move is at least a little idiotic?

EDIT: Nevermind, this could also be seen as him being kind to his fans.

is that even his real Blog?


Its not idiotic, since as you can see its still nuimber one.

^ yeah, its his blog. And I know it is still #1 right now, but if people find out about this, they might just go and download it off of his blog for free in stead of buying it on iTunes.

not so many people knows how to d/l from file sharing sites..

iTunes is still more known that free download sites.

10K free downloads wont hurt Heartless' sales.

He probably made them free because people who already bought the songs off iTunes would not re-buy them.

It's not like he sees any of that money...

I have so much respect for Kanye. I love how he handles his career and I agree that he would never re-release the songs on iTunes so it makes sense to release directly to his fans for free. If it wasnt rhough his blog it would have been some idiot posting it on YouTube.

Only Kanye could make a song like "Robocop" and still be amazing. Not to mention he is the only rapper who could make a album where he doesnt even rap.

CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!

And also I'm not saying this as someone who doesn't like Kanye. I think his music is great and I also can't wait for 808's!

yeah he has a song @ #1 and #8 i dont think this will hurt!!! lmao

It's not idiotic at all.

If anything, that means when he releases the album w/the updated versions, it'll sell even more.

^ I'm not so sure it would sell more just because of updated versions..

It's an interesting promotional tactic.

LMAO. The title of this thread sums up his entire life. ;p
