Stump, who rocks alongside bassist Pete Wentz in the band, admits it was West's recent track Love Lockdown of his new album 808s & Heartbreak that made him the ultimate fan - because the rapper isn't afraid to stir up his emotions. He tells People magazine, "It's a breakup song, but it's talking about how unfair he was being to his ex. He probably is the voice of this decade, the voice of a generation".
