This was the second single from his album, "808s & Heartbreak." It peaked at #2 on the Hot 100, #10 in the UK, #3 at CHR/Pop, #1 at rhythmic and #4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. Rock band, The Fray, and American Idol winner, Kris Allen, both recorded versions of the song for their self-titled albums. It's one of my favorite singles of his. Great song.

This should've hit #1 on the Hot 100.

This was my favorite single from the album. Couldn't get enough of it at the time. I like The Fray's cover as well.

The song itself is great, but Kanye's is a processed, auto-tuned mess and I can't listen to it. Luckily, Taylor John Williams and Kris Allen have covered this and I love their renditions.

I used to strongly dislike it, but now I love it.

One of Kanye's best. I really liked "Love Lockdown" too. I'd kind of like to see him revisit this sound, though I have no idea what he would do with it now.

Considering his last couple of albums, I'll take a return to this form of Kanye.
I think his autotune works in this case, as does the calliope.
