## Caption

Kanye West's iconic performance of "Love Lockdown" at the 2008 MTV VMAs almost never happened 👀 With the MTV VMAs going down this weekend, Complex's Noah Callahan-Bever recounts how an MTV producer tried to talk Kanye into performing "Heartless" in 2008 instead of "Love Lockdown." In typical Kanye fashion, he stuck to his vision. #kanye #kanyewest #808sandheartbreak #mtvvmas #vmas
