heartless

A new, cool, animated Kanye video to make your Friday morning. The animation is well done and it is directed by Hype Williams so the plot is pretty cool although nothing new. “Heartless” is slowly growing on me but I just can’t see myself being excited enough to buy this album and listen to it a million times until I almost know every word like every other Kanye album to date. We will see what other tracks Mr. West has planned before I’m sold on it, but there will be plenty of time for debating, the album hasn’t even dropped yet!

Ahh Kanye did it again and put out an unmastered and then mastered version of his single. I tried to stay out of it as much this time and only posted 2 versions. This is the final version, supposedly, and it sounds like it is quality. Also I am assuming and hoping that is the cover of the album, I like that graphic way better than the “Love Lockdown” deflated balloon one.

Haha check that pic out! Here is the new track off of 808’s & Heartbreak coming out in late Nov. Kanye uses  the trusty Vocoder …again. “Heartless” is a solid track and is similar to “Love Lockdown” with the Vocoder sung chorus, heavy bass beat and the raw piano. Thankfully, the verses are rapped. It looks like Kanye is trying to turn himself into the biggest pop star possible, which I’m not mad at because he is really pushing rap in new and interesting directions. I definitely expect some off the wall shit for his next single.

At T.I.’s MySpace show in L.A. Kanye comes out on stage to perform his verse on “Swagga Like Us”. T.I. then gives him the stage and Kanye talks about his new album 808’s & Heartbreak dropping Nov. 25th and then does “Love Lockdown”. Finally he performs a new song off the album called “Heartless”. Consequence gives us the exclusive footage and it is definitely dope. The only problem I have with it is Kanye raps/sings with the lyrics playing in the background, something that is definitely my biggest frustration with rap shows these days. Anyways check it out and expect that “Heartless” track to be on here in the near future. P.S. lol at the chat going on in the video embed haha.
