E ‘past one year since the exit of contemporary album “Graduation” by Kanye West and Curtis “50 Cent had to light a challenge to the sound of copies sold, where, he had even declared that withdraw from the scene where Kanye had sold more discs him in the first week.

Kanye West and the final version of Love Lockdown

Kanye West and the final version of Love Lockdown., New CD, Video, Hip Hop, 808s & heartbreak, kanye west, love lockdown

The first version was that we had seen and heard during the last Video Music Award. Then it was coming out a new version of the study, slightly different you could also hear on youtube and Kanye blog. But, you know, there is not two without three and then here is also the third and final version of Love Lockdown always on kanyeuniversecity.com. It seems that the third version is also born by the comments left by the fans after the first post he was made to hear the song. Or at least you can guess from the one who writes the same artist:

Your prayers have been answered! There’sa new version of Love Lockdown coming. We used new Taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s now being Mastered….

The song will be available on iTunes with its splendid cover you see on his head that post. To all intents and purposes is also the first anticipation of new album of Kanye West. The disc intitolera 808s & Heartbreak (I assume in honour to drum machine Roland TR-808) and will come out next December.
