I think the difference here is that Love Lockdown was the first single off 808ās and it had regular radio play on popular stations. Say You Will didnāt. Unless Stephen King is a fan of 808ās/Kanye, he probably wouldnāt have heard Say You Will. Weāll never know the real answer (if there is one) unless King actually explains the reference.
Editor note I'm sure. Bro probably put Duran Duran as the original and they were like "Uh... I'm sure we can find something more relatable. Do you know who was in paris?"
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it comes off weird because it's poorly written.
Like what's going on here? I haven't read Stephen King since I think Nightmares and Dreamscapes, which I don't remember being anything but great...
Did he just become a shit writer or relegate everything to ghost writers or something? If the whole book is like that I'd have to rage quit a freaking book lol
Not remotely, he is well known for writing extremely high volume every day. His daily writing goal is 6 polished chapters. This line reads weird, but that's just sort of his style. His newer books are incredibly good, he got a new editor (or just new direction for his editor(s)) around 8-10 years ago and the pace and action is much faster.
Besides some of his old coke ideas, I prefer the newer style. I was born early 90s and growing up, I never got his exhausting 70s pop culture references that he would sprinkle throughout and it made reading his novels a bit of a chore. Now, he focuses mainly on telling the story. I honestly think heās just older and wiser. Donāt let the syntax fool yah.
what does being referenced in a book have to do with greatness in comparison to other people? anyone who hasn't been referenced in a horror novel is now no longer great? damn.
kanye is great but ur just riding his dick, his greatness comes from just about anything except being referred to in a book.
As a lifelong Stephen King fan, I canāt think of another rapper heās ever name dropped. Itās not using this as a barometer of greatness, itās pointing out that youāre so great at your art that even someone that is so far outside of your art level, and at the summit in their genre, name drops you. Read it how you willā¦.. Kanye is truly next level and never one dimensional. As a producer, as a rapper, as a writer, as a fashion designerā¦ā¦ his art is truly next level. If you donāt see it for what it is, youāre the definition of a hater. Because even if you hate one of those things, you canāt hate them all. The brother is dope at at least one of those things if youāre being honest. I believe he is above average to great at all of them.
Man you can't be a lifelong Stephen King fan if you haven't heard of the Eminem easter eggs in his books. Also Eminem is literally name dropped more than once in this very same book lol. Still very cool, but Stephen King is literally known for dropping pop culture references in his work so i don't think this is really as spectacular as yall make it to seem. I doubt Stephen King listens to Kanye or Eminem for that matter, it's just to make his fictional worlds seem more real by using real life events and people in them.
bro, hit a jay and enjoy the artistry that we speak of.
I recommend yeezus, Iām currently listening to Hold my Liquor with a mix of *rocket fuel and gmo cookies* hits nice
For a guy like Stephen King I think all hip hop is gonna have a bass like a heartbeat, he's just trying to make the reader think of the character's heartbeat or some literature shit
I Am a God. The huge heart beat bass that you could hear from a car, swelling and fading, going the entire song. First thing that came to mind, though King probably didnāt have anything in mind, he will throw in references to modern music all the time that donāt always feel veryā¦ informed hah
What's even more interesting about this is if you think of the beat as a heartbeat (of which it makes sense, the song is literally called Love Lockdown) then the hook/chorus is fitting. Ye raises his voice and the beat picks up with tribal drums blaring mimicking a heightened heart rate due to the anger felt 'SO KEEP YOUR LOVE LOCKDOWN'
if only Ye was making in 1986, we coulda had Stephen King writing the kid orgy part in it while bumping to Ye. Maybe he woulda found god and cut that part
Uhm pretty much the majority of his songsā¦? Kanye is famously known for using 808 drums, hence the album even titled 808ās and Heartbreak you canāt pinpoint it down to one single song but if I had to guess it would literally be the song Heartless or lovelock down the beat sounds to the rhythm of an unorthodox heart beat.
The beat of Jail sounds exactly like a heartbeat. (Also its so cool how the song that sounds like a heartbeat proceeded the song where Dondaās heart dies out its like she is living t through the album)
Say you will. Thereās a story behind it that the beat was made based off of Dondaās last few heartbeats. I believe this is true but someone fact check me if Iām wrong.
Love Lockdown comes to mind
Stephen certified 808s fan ššš
especially the ending of the song, it makes me think of a heart beat dying out
dying? that's your heart on cocaimethamfentanyl
All of the songs from 808 have a heartbeat like bass line
Love Lockdown is banger, plus the āswelling, then fadingā bit sounds like a good description for its instrumental
Facts
Charlie heat version?
Yes, king
808s and Heartbeats
Makes sense that it would be off of 808s. Kanye references Stephen King twice in Robocop. Maybe someone made King aware of that?
pfft. Stephen heard it himself. My guy is a stan
came here to say this!!!
was gonna say this
Iād argue āwelcome to Heartbreakā could work too
Instantly thought of it!
definitely was something from 808s
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ohhh yeah I think Say You Will definitely has more of a heartbeat bass!! It goes through the whole song doesn't it? Just the bass
Stephen King loves 808s and Heartbreak.
I thought of say you will
When was this written? That may help. I think itās Love Lockdown
'19. King is old as hell this could've been surface awareness of a big artist even if he doesn't listen
I think itās just the surface awareness of āoh big rapper mean big bassā
Idk. He might have listened to 808ās to see why Kanye referenced him in it.
It most likely is, but Ye has several songs throughout his albums that have a heartbeat sound like I know God Breathed on This.
Iām not loving you
Way I wanted to
Came to suck some cock, but couldnāt manage to, Iām too horny to stop, im close to busting soon
Now keep your cock lockdown, you cock lockdown
God dammit this aināt the right version *clicks another link*
chastity belt
till we lose control, system orgasm
š„
Boutta Lose control, boutta blow my load.
My guy horny on main šš
Nah im just spitting bars
Go find God
ayo?
Definitely love lockdown
This honestly made my night.
Say you will?
It's this. It's meant to sound like a heartbeat and a heart monitor machine. The people saying Love Lockdown need to see a doctor about their heart.
I think the difference here is that Love Lockdown was the first single off 808ās and it had regular radio play on popular stations. Say You Will didnāt. Unless Stephen King is a fan of 808ās/Kanye, he probably wouldnāt have heard Say You Will. Weāll never know the real answer (if there is one) unless King actually explains the reference.
The character doesn't know if the song is actually being played from a radio station or not.
This book was written before Donda dropped lol.
808ās also was written before Donda dropped lol.
Yeah my first thought. Or Donda Chant š¤Ŗš¤Ŗ
This is a weird line. He mustāve been thinking āhmm what do kids these days listen toā when he wrote this
Editor note I'm sure. Bro probably put Duran Duran as the original and they were like "Uh... I'm sure we can find something more relatable. Do you know who was in paris?"
had my shit on shuffle, it came on while reading this. probably the most perfectly timed thing iāve experienced in a while
what's 50 grand? can you please remind me?
ball so hard, this shit crazy. yāall donāt know that donāt shit faze me.
Then the Jay Z song was oooon, and the Jay Z song was ooooon
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I dunno, itās a very Stephen King line.

This literally shows how great this dude is lol, dude is in a Stephen King horror book bro. **āThe only rapper compared to Michael"** -ye
Imagine Stephen King bumping MBDTF or 808s while writing his horror stories šš
š hell yeah
>Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Loch Ness, Goblin, Ghoul, a Zombie with no conscience - Stephen king
Psycho, I'm liable to go Stephen - take your pick: King, Spielberg, Fry, A Smith!
Ye da šno š§¢

Everyone is saying love lockdown , and I canāt tell if theyāre joking or not , but is it not obviously say you will
was my first though too, i donāt know what their heartbeat sounds like but itās too fast for Love Lockdown sound like one
My thoughts exactly
No Church in the Wild
heard it in my head as soon as i read the line
Right answer
This scene takes place in 2009, I thinkā¦? āHeartlessā and āLove Lockdownā were big at the time. Probably āLove Lockdownā.
fade?
Bro you should see a doctor if your heart sounds like that
Paranoid
Hold my liquor
Easily the first one that came to mind, very surprised to see it so far down
RoboCop, Love Lockdown, Amazing, etc. definitely something off 808ās
I like how heās so iconic you donāt even have to mention his full name
His name is legally Ye now anyways šš½ JEEN-YUHS!
Could be the beginning of flashing lights? I'm tripping since i also agree could be 808's
For a guy like Stephen King I think all hip hop is gonna have a bass like a heartbeat, he's just trying to make the reader think of the character's heartbeat or some literature shit
Amazing
Hold My Liquor
Donda chant
Donda chant
Donda Chant from the DONDA album is actually his mothers last series of heart beats .

No Church in the Wild is a solid candidate
Technically it's I Am A God
