Sympathy is usually not an emotion that I evoke for pop stars, but that’s exactly what I found myself doing when I saw Kanye perform “Love Lockdown” at the VMA’s.
I’m no fan of his warbling, but you could supremely tell that Mr. West was hurting bad, as was showcased by his LAX meltdown the following morning.
Strangely, that performance was the most interesting thing about the VMA’s, even trumping Ri Ri’s Grace Jones inspired opening. Of course, it took Discobelle no time to find some of the hottest remixes of the joint (they saved me some google searches), and surprisingly… they don’t sound as heart-achy as his live performance, his pain is almost danceable. Below is my favorite of the remixes, you can find the rest here.
My only complaint, I’d wish he’d channel his sadness into beats, and leave the rapper melodies to Andre 3000.
