Let’s be honest here for a minute. Who doesn’t love Kanye West? Ok, other than photogs, camera operators at LAX, TMZ, and other rappers who try to release albums on the same day as Kanye; who doesn’t love Kanye West? Even though we’d all love to hate this aggressive, megalomaniacal trendsetter, there’s something about his smooth rhymes and his blatantly obvious arrogance that draws the world back to him each and every time.
Recently Kanye has been lighting up blogs, the general interwebs, and most every airwave with his new single Love Lockdown. He’s also gotten some love from some quick on the draw remix kids the world over. Because today is Monday, and we’re all hating that fact that yet another weekend has drawn to a close, I thought I would throw up the best remixes I’ve heard yet of Love Lockdown. Granted, many of the heavy hitters in the remix world have yet to weigh in on this track {and we all know they will}, but these are the best of what’s come first.
All the remixes in one zip file : here {zshare = left click}
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Aerotronic Remix)
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Cenzo Remix)
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Chew Fu Small Room Remix)
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Flufftronix Remix)
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Jake Troth Remix)
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Jin Remix)
mp3 : Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Prince William Remix)
The first five tracks are pretty much your stereotypical remixes. They’re each slightly differnt from each other, yet the all maintain just enough of the original track to be recognizeable {and ultimately dance beat laden}. I’m not entire sure but the Flufftronix Remix might be my favorite right now. The last two tracks are a bit differnt than the standard issue remix as they feature some talented MC’s rhyming over the intstrumental portions of the track. Both the Jin Remix and Prince William Remix are of the must hear it now variety.

this post made my day. thank you!
I’m leaning toward the Aerotronic remix, but none of those even remotely sound like decent remixes. I’m looking more toward someone like Mr. Gaspar who is known for remixing bigger hits, or hoping for a group like the Plimsouls, Disco Villians, Nite Cells or the Bloody Beetroots to pick it up. We’ll see who bites in the next few weeks.
Dude thanks for the remix, thats an awsome post.
I’d like to here a Bloody Beetroots remix.
I agree w/ DrollSteVan. The Fluffy joint is dece though.
