So bowing out in 3rd place is...

 

03. Kanye West - Love Lockdown (14 votes, 51.85%)

 

Just missing out in taking part in this big final is the lead single from '808's & Heartbreaks', 'Love Lockdown'. The song was a drastic departure from Kanye's previous sounds, with the heavy use of auto-tune to top off the drum based tribal production, creating a powerful and energetic vibe. The song provides us with possibly one of Kanye's most experimental and compelling music videos, also emphasising the song's African influences, with the inclusion of tribe members. The song became a big hit worldwide, including a peak of #8 in the UK and #3 in the US.

So, how do you feel about Love Lockdown failing to win? Is it the right top 2? And most importantly, which track should be crowned as winner? Get voting and discussing!

 

Deadline: Sunday evening

It is a brilliant top 2. Apart from 'Jesus Walks' and 'Niggas In Paris', I think these are my two favourites so I am thrilled.

 

'Power' is just that bit better though and would be a perfect winner.

Power to win pls :cheer:

Wanted love lockdown to win- my favourite Kanye song :(

 

All of the lights to win :cheer:

I meant to vote 'All Of The Lights' as I thought we were voting for favourite. Can someone subtract one from 'Power' and add to that? :P

 

'Heartless' deserved better but did well, however 'No Church In The Wild' out so early? :(

I meant to vote 'All Of The Lights' as I thought we were voting for favourite. Can someone subtract one from 'Power' and add to that? :P

 

Sure, just done that for you.

All of the lights to win, EASILY his best single!!!

Power would be a fantastic winner :cheer:

awful top 2

 

Perfect top 10 for me would be

 

1 Flashing Lights

2 Homecoming

3 No Church In The Wild

4 Love Lockdown

5 Heartless

6 Heard 'Em Say

7 Clique

8 Diamonds From Sierra Leone

9 Niggas In Paris

10 Through The Wire

I think I've only voted for eight songs during the entire course of this poll.

 

BuzzJack shading my Kanye tastes :(

Imma let 'Power' finish, but 'All Of The Lights' is one of the best songs of all time.

 

I did toy with the idea of #PowerToWin, However, 'All of the Lights' is innovative and boundary breaking to another level. I love how he uses a plethora artists like Rihanna, La Roux, John legend, Fergie, Alicia to name a few (The Kid Cudi part being my favourite). The extended version of the song is a winner for me, especially when listened to with the prelude. And the video :heart:

Very tough to call between these two. But 'Power' wins for me but only just.

 

 

Power is just that, so powerful and so much better than All of the Lights. That's good and all, but nowhere near a winner.

POWER TO WIN.

 

Amazed at how close it is tbh :o

NOOOO. Love Lockdown is probably my 2nd favourite Kanye song (behind Niggas In Paris), was hoping it could win. Not sure what to go for here, they're both 7/10-7.5/10 kind of songs, but I voted for Power. I don't think either really make Kanye-defining winners but I do prefer All Of The Lights.

Both excellent tracks & deservedly the final 2 BUT...

 

All Of The Lights is easily my favourite ever track of his, so I'm voting Power.

'Power' is my favourite song of ALL TIME so I'm going for 'All of the Lights'.

'Power' is just so massive. Perfection to these ears.

Why is All of The Lights here and not the awful Bound 2? :drama: the former is quite a good song! :angry:

Why is All of The Lights here and not the awful Bound 2? :drama: the former is quite a good song! :angry:

I think you may have the thread purpose backwards :lol:

Why is All of The Lights here and not the awful Bound 2? :drama: the former is quite a good song! :angry:

 

Bound 2 was first out the door!
