Boring
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Video of the year hands down
MASTERPIECE!!!
….
SHit was art. It was short because of how long it takes to render that type of animation. Its a paiting literally moving
Didnt care for it.. Feel kinda robbed.. Expectin more.. Its kinda cool cus its different but its real artsy.. A lil too much for my taste..
I WONDER IF PEOPLE ARE STILL SAYING THIS VIDEO IS BETTER THEN LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE…HMMMMMMM……WAIT FOR IT………EXACTLY…….SIT YALL ASSES DOWN!!!!! jk
LMAO
Garbage and boring not seeing a story
I fucks with Kanye but he gets a ‘N!gga Please’ for this one….
Wat Post said…
FUCK The Haters! this shit was sick.
“painting”….? Its called ‘pretentious’ ye . In the words of Obama: “you’re a jackass”.
………………No Comment
It’s not a video…It’s a painting….
I love it..Wished it were longer but this is definitly a masterpiece…Kanye is always ahead of his time….
Okay Okay people will hate because it’s not conventional but is it a representation of his inner demons and angels or whatever at conflict with each other?
KANYEEEEEEEEEEEEE< WTF? I was Exicted to see this ALLL day. Thats IT? it looked good, but I want more!!!!!! I feel robbed
That was…interesting.
Shit was WACK…..
and this had nothing to do with the _________ ether it’s based of a Greek play i think so STFU
Before anyone says this is a ___________ video
& Iam up on that __________ shit to
Kinda boring….the concept is cool, but nobody is going to want to watch that more than once, lol.
I wouldn’t call it corny B. Dot, but I’d call it a dumb/smart move on his part. It’s smart because right now, as I tyoe this, he has 1 gajillion fuckin’ ppl on twitter talking about it. It’s a dumb move because we’ve been anticipating this shit for weeks and then we only get a 90 second video. I understand the premise of the portrait, but c’monnnnn Yeezy! hat shit was shorter than “Flashing Lights”!…expect 35 comments a minute on this post tonite…
Where’s that bitch NickeyBlack at, saying this piece of shit is better than LTWYL.
That shit was fuckin brilliant!
lameeeeee
SATAN
Well that was different………………. I like different.
Brilliant, but why just 90 seconds for such an amzing song? wheres the full shit?
@Ultrakid don’t EVER call anybody an Eminem Stan again. You sound like a 17 year old school girl that just lost their virginity to Kanye “it’s such a masterpiece *sigh* patty mayonnaise” FOH!!
@Acapella
^
For the first time in my life, i understand how a woman feels after a nigga nuts fast. *facepalm*
Welcome to the live mock drafts at Fantasy Football Calculator. Good luck!
90 seconds. I wonder how he sold that concept to L.A. to cut a check for a 90 second video. Crazy.
90 seconds? WTF..
Better be more video, and MTV just could not air the rest..
Really 90 seconds, SMH..
Cool concept tho..
I won’t say it’s wack because it def has a deeper meaning to it. It’s just so damn short
Dope…..
i thought it would be more but the artwork is magnificent and if they were to sell this as a painting boy we talking thousands of dollars. Well that actually makes UNTHINKABLE the video of the year. But YE did say its not a video but a painting and understanding the type of man Kanye is it was a smart idea cuz ” no 1 man should have all this power” plus “In this whiteman world we the 1’s chosen”
NOT CLASSIC BUT INTELLIGENT……….GOODNITE
@Freedom He shot himself hahahhaaha Fail!!! On that nigga
LMAO@ B.DOT you a fuckin fool!
I LIKE THE IDEA AND VISUAL BUT IT WAS TOO SHORT!!!! BUT THAT’S KANYE BEING KANYE!!!! DOIN’ SHIT LIKE THAT TO KEEP PEOPLE TALKIN’!!!! KANYE THE 2011 ARTIST OF THE YEAR!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
THIS FOOL NICKEYBLACK TRING TO MAKE EXCUSES AND SHIT SMH.
I mean… for the concept 90 seconds is about as long as someone would be willing to watch that.
Only kanye west could be so egotistical and make such a pretentious video, and get away with it.
@FREEDOM did you get a chance to analyze my comment my fan……why you cursing me out, oh thats right i HATE EMINEM!
shit looked crazy.
It appeared like some super natural fight happening in the heavens.
some real Constantine stuff
Anyway I don’t even fuck with Kanye like that but the rap game needs artists like him I must admit.
@NickeyBlack didn’t you say goodnite in your last post? LOL. you stayin or going?
An exquisite painting. Kanye West does it again.
@JohnJohn,
Blah Blah Blah….I respect art not generic shit….Even if I didn’t like the video I would respect Ye for doing something different…I get excited for Art and you get excited something we’ve already seen and heard before…I’m always excited about new original ideas…Something fresh…That’s just me…I like artistic things and thats what attracts me to the music Kanye, M.I.A, Outkast, Janelle Monae, and How to Destroy Angels…I’m an aspiring music video with good music taste so I think I know a little thing or two on what a good music video should look like…
HaHa ima use this for my screen saver lol
@Ultrakid okay…… how does that long ass arrogant statement negate the fact that you sounded like a 17 yr old virgin that was just penetrated by Kanye?!
Hey there RapRadar community I’m T.I. the snitch and I would like to snitch on Kanye by saying this video is terrible.
REAL REASON THE VIDEO IS SO SHORT: The Nigga that made it does that shit for a living. If you saw the “Making Of” Video before those niggas took it down you would understand that he put a lot of sweat,blood, and effort into this and If it was any longer then we would have to wait like 3 More Months to even see this shit.
In the words of Obama: “you’re a jackass”.
YO mac Diesel im gaining fans at an alarming rate, i was always jealous cuz you got more love and hate than me but now im getting it and it feels good but NICKEY BLACK SHOULD’NT HAVE ALL THIS POWER. Thank you Em fans and thats from the bottom of my hateful heart.
VISION KILLER IS A FAN
LMAO IS A FAN
INTERNATIONAL PEEZEE IS A FAN
JAY IS A FAN
FREEDOM IS A FAN
FAT BOY IS A FAN
yall probaly the same dudes but maybe not. i gotta apologize to YE fans cuz i made Em fans hate Ye video without logic but just from pure hate…..my bad the painting is dope, Em video sucks
Mannnnnnn!! you gotta be fuckin kidding me!! is this really the video or like the preview to it or somethin??? dude that has got to be the most pretentious, self important piece of crap i have ever seen, and for a rap song that includes “fuck snl and the whole cast, the can kiss my whole ass” MANNNN SERIOUSLY?? did this cat just visit a salvador dali museum 30 minutes before the video shoot?
This is rad like eucalyptus leaves.
Knaye west is an idiot theres a difference between being over the top and being creative.
LMFAO
IF YOU TRY AND PAUSE IT AT ANY MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE A PAINTING
5
@Jay seriously goodnite, we can pick up later, so ill see you on the next ten Eminem post on RR………………………..PEACE
@nickeyblack….dude, eminem video was pretty average, and honestly i was expecting kanye to step up and be more creative with his video since the concept is so vague you can basically take it anywhere you want to take it …but sorry playboi…this video is an EPIC FAIL
@JohnJohn,
My reply wasn’t even long….What I sound like is a passionate guy…a guy who gets happy when he’s sees Art being portayed in Mainstream music….I’m tired of generic music videos…But hey don’t hate me for praising the guy…I’m not going to argue with you…If you want to talk to me about music then grow up…Let’s debate about it…
@ Nickey Black
HA!!!!! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@B. Dot
I think we ALL feel tha same way about this one…I bet Kanye is overseas in Singapore in his plane, on his Mac Book, chuckin’ it up at us all on twitter…
King ye bitches!
at least YN has someone new to put on the “You Played Yourself” column. Art or not. This is RAP! This shit is GARBAGE as a music video. WTF is wrong with YEEZY? what happened to the popped coller pastel polo shirt YE. Two thumbs down
Kanye done did it again. Shit was dope.
This is forced art imo. Seems generic.
So should I get the iphone 4 or switch and get the htc evo?
epic…..mason/conspiracy theorists gonna be pissed!
Its different…its what I expect from kanye…I like it. Even better if its 90secs…it dont take much to get a point across.
People fear what they dont understand and hate what they cant conquer. This why it so much negative feedback on it.
gj ye
Dis gonna go over alotta da ADD hip hop fans heads. Dis da most creative & original hip hop vids of all time. wish they could’ve show’d da whole thing tho’.
Okay the music video was cool but 90 seconds ehhh
whoever calls that wack needs to stop listening to just hip-hop and look at the sky and appreciate some simple beauty like that
This would be a Fucking Incredible commercial for his album. As a Video? *COME ON SON*
Hello again it’s T.I. the snitch, I just wanted to snitch on Kanye one last time, Kanye West told me he did this video to make himself be your Christ and that all of you bums will just absorb it and call it art. You all think this man is something else but I’m just here to snitch on him and do what I am good at.
SNITCH 4 LIFE!!!
If you watch the making of this music video you will notice that there is literally TONS more content. Like naked women frolicking about and such, MTV just couldn’t air the full music video. I suspect that the full video will be apart of a deluxe or bonus set.
Artsy? Yes.. Pretentious? Yes. Too short? Yes.
Innovative and groundbreaking? Yes. Thought provoking? Yes.
Classic? YES! Classic in the way we usually mean it? Not so sure. This video will never be forgotten though.
One thing about Ye is he will make you think. He will make you go look up things like the story of Damocles Sword. Gotta tip my hat to him for that at least. If you follow his work, you will be forced to think. All said, it’s always cool to witness history, for better or for worse.
Also you think THE PROFESSIONALS editing this clip would take out the fucking Jersey Shore footage LMAO
Really awesome. My initial reaction was wtf cause i never seen a 90 second music video, but i admire creativity.
Z
EPOD but needs to be a lil bit longer
.zzzzzzz
90secs of ‘looking at a painting’ is not what i call a music video,no matter how nice the ‘painting’ is.
yea,so innovative staring at a painting for 90 secs,dont think so.
somebody better ask for a refund.
This shit is amazing.
Every time I watch in full view on Vevo it gets better and more detailed. And I know it’s only 90 seconds, but I think he did this for people to go back and see it again…sorta like Inception.
Fuck with the minds.
The song itself is called Power. The video is a visual representation of the fall of an empire (see the woman stabbing him in the back at the top, the obvious beheading at the end, the woman unveiling herself next to him at the top).
I mean, honestly the shit’s not that deep. Niggas is just still in shock that it was 90 seconds, so they don’t get it.
No one man should have all the Power…so he was beheaded.
Kanye’s cover art for Power, his own “story” post-09 VMAs, this painting/video, is all connected.
Not to get too deep, but there’s a reason he’s been posting all of this renaissance shit on twitter and his blog. Renaissance is a rebirth.
Kanye had too much Power, he was beheaded metaphorically through the media, etc. for 09 VMAs, now the new album will be the renaissance back to College Dropout-type social commentary, while introducing a new sound.
This guy’s a genius for real.
WTF…..HELLA WACK!!!!
Kanye I understand you want to be considered ahead of your time and interesting but your trying too hard. John Lennon your not!!!!
If you look at the end when the 2 dudes are jumping at Kanye with the swords… when the swords meet in the middle they join with the sword floating above Kanye and it looks like a pyramid. The illuminati all-seeing eye thing …… .WTF!!!!!!!!
THIS REMINDS ME OF ONE OF THOSE FLIP BOOKS WHEN I WAS 5…A MOVING PAINTING??? DUH? COOL CONCEPT, YEA, BUT WHO CARES IF ITS ORIGINAL, SHIT WAS WEAK AS FUCK. THE WHOLE SONG DONE LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DOPE THOUGH.
THAT REMINDS ME, THAT FLIP BOOK I HAD WAS “SEE DICK RUN”
“SEE DICK RUN” WAS BETTER THAN THIS garbage!!!
fucking brilliant
F*UCK THE HATERS that shit was epic. Kanye gon come hard with this album. I’ve watched this video atleast 10 times already. KANYE WEST IS BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN & HATERS
Screams from the haters, gotta a nice ring to it…
EPIC? u watched it 10 times??? so wait hold on, u just wasted 15 minutes watching a 90 second clip that was really a flip book? pathetic…
let the Illuminati talk begin
95% of music video suck….more like 99% when it comes to hip-hop videos. This was, at the very least, interesting. Saying a video is too short is almost a fucking complement because it means you wanted to see more. Mission accomplished Kanye.
only Ye would have garbage sanitized like this.this is unforgetable,yes but so is vanilla ice.this is just an epic fail.
http://whatuknowaboudat.blogspot.com/2010/08/concept-of-mixtape-gift-curse.html
Editorial
The clip is far from “wack”…its just because its so damn short, it leaves you wanting to see more. ‘Ye know what he’s doing…and if he’s as smart as he alludes to, he’ll have the COMPLETE vid soon.
EPIC FAIL
actually if you speed it up its only like 5 seconds lmao
wtfffff o_O
ITS WAS AMAZING…A STEP BEYOND.
^^^^this: to what @Ty said.
Can we all agree that with this video Kanye officially has the best video/visual catalog in hip-hop history?!
*watches again*
@ BRIX
i agree with you…somewhat. The song is good. really good for that matter. however, it makes me want to see more because there is more of the song, not more just because i am drooling that i loved it so much. so yes, he does know what hes doing, but for the wrong reasons. if he included the whole vid, then i would def want to see more.
thats a dope concept….gotta admit that it seem shot like a a a superbowl commercial.
this is ground breaking tho…he has to get best video for this…hats off ye!!..events like this give me that feeling of wanting to see the video when it premieres…same thing with em i was checking for that.i gotta admit (record companies) the level of these artist plus the way it was presented with the behind the scene clips and all played a huge part.kayne’s the making of,was done in a masterful way.lesson i see hear is that there are different directions you in
People actually said this was better than Em’s video!?
HA!
this shits Garbage just like the song!!
and the video must be Unfinished if it’s only 90 seconds…DUH!
ILLUMINATI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a moving painting cost bread this is creative he said it wasnt a video so why are yall niggas and bitchez mad 4 Salute kanye west for this its sumthin new ya just wanted to go on with ya illumanti bullshit but he fuck ya pussies raw dawg pay back a bitch didnt u usta say that how ya like Ye now taylor swift pussies

Aww man! I expected a club scene with video vixens and Ciroc bottles with one of my niggas making it rain in the back. WTF was this shit? *end of sarcasm*
Kanye’s video: 90 seconds – Average time to post about it: 2-3 minutes. “No one man should have all that power.”
This is fucking awesome.
SIDEBAR: I bet yall $100 that he makes more than one version of this video/song just like he did “Jesus Walks”
wow amazing!
Majority of people don’t even understand what the Illuminati supposedly is. If you believe that you might as well start believing in Vampires and Werewolves. There’s no proven fact that it even exist, just pure speculation. I know Masons who find it entertaining that people assume they equate to “Free Masons”/ a secret society in the Illuminati. GTFOH! you should know that he’s basing this premise off a greek legend regarding the Sword of Damocles. look it up before you start blasting off about Illuminati bs. i never understand how equating someone with being in the illuminati would stop them anyway..cause if there in this ultra secret run the world group, well shit what yall gonna do to them.
and this is amazing visual art. not what i expected but it’s ye. he keeps us guessing.
C’mon son!
On Second Thought 90 FUCKING SECONDS MTV allowed a Music Video to play for a Entire 90 seconds with no Interruptions *Kanye Jab*Damn lol
Shit was amazing…
90 minutes ye 4real??!!
charles barkley “teeeerriiiblllleee” on this one.
go ahead and pretend to be artsy niggas and say its a classic and shit.. bandwagon niggas..
“cuz you don’t understand em’ it don’t mean that he nice.. just mean you don’t understand all the bullshit that he write”..
power
Garbage video for a garbage song. Good ass job kanye (kanye shrug). His fans trying to justify his lame video with “its art” lol lame fucks can’t think for themselves. Lol
He’s crossing over into icon status.
^amazing?? hahaha shit niggas jeans are too tight. If you don’t believe in the illuminati might as well not believe in god. Smh they control banks stocks dumb fucks
Club owner from Purple Rain: “Nobody digs your shit but yourself””.
Fuck you Mr Xclusive Wayne nut hugging but fuckin douche bag Lil Wayne fucking sucks at rapping has elementary raps.. and they mean nothing…fuckin tool
The Relationship Between Kanye’s “Power” & His Twitter friend, Steven http://wp.me/pDpNb-nK
fuckin’ loved it! great video
dope concept. poor execution.
motherfakas all in here saying shit is video of the year. fuck outta here. this is a commercial. if ye had made this into a full video with the entire song, shit would’ve been amazing. but he didn’t.
The dudes other artwork was alot more impressive than this.
Lol @ the dude above me who thinks he has some kind of insight because he spent 2 minutes watching the same making of vid everyone else saw on this site.
Ultrakid says he want to be a music video when he grows up.
wtf!!!! 1:43
Kanye sucks this pub marketing or music video bullshit!!!
This pub marketing budget 1 $
Kanye knows what he’s doing. This is an intro to the new era of Kanye. the video is dope and I think if it was any longer people would of been saying that the video was too slow.
Hip hop needed this, this is hip hop couture.
Kanye has done a masterpiece.
Quote me on that shit.
Moving painting my ass, yer making excuses Mr. West.
Fucking dissapointed,only 90sec…fuck that
disappointment to the rap culture
wow..genius, only kanye could come up with something like that, definately not for the simple minded
I mean he did say it was a painting… I jus know he has to fulfill the fans with whatever he does next. Check out wapproved.com
yo hip hop, what you meant not for the simple minded… what did you get from the video?
SHITS INSANNNNNNNNNNEEE!
Boring for people who dont like art,or dont know what it is real art, a lote of people want more, other stlyed video, WHY? this is real art, and if you dont feel, most go to see some Brazilian series,where is need no thinking, and need no feeling
Kanye imma let you finish in a minute. But this is one of the most disappointing music videos of all time.Of ALL TIME.
fuck this shit!
Good concept but short oh well
not gunna lie that was strange as fuck
Loved it!Wish it was longer……..Originality!!
DONT WORRY MOTHAFUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ye’s been known to make 3 vids for 1 song
this is gonna be in my nightmares!!!!! lol
the bitch with the horns is gonna haunt me.
I love it.Okay It was short . But I’ll watch this video over any other rappers long ass “Look every body I have girls,money,and cars” video any day of the week. .
On To The One After The Next One
KANYE CAN DO NO WRONG IN MY EYE ARTISTICALLY…SO I’LL JUST SMILE ANDSILENCE MYSELF CAUSE I LUVED IT!!! LOL
e porbably spent the whole budget on that big ass chain and there’s was only money left for a 90 sec. stopmotion clip any fucking kid can do with a computer…. well intresting he did something else but “else” isn’ t always good
UBER-COOL!!! Ye’s vision and the way in which he expresses his talents is just magnificent! No matter what you think about his “spoiled kid” antics at times, the man is a GENUINE TALENT! And he”s killing the game! Yo do that shit BOY!
best video ever…it made me wanna have sex in a museum
LTWYL >>>>>>>>> NOT AFRAID >>>>>>>> NO LOVE >>>>>>>>>>>> POWER
I MEAN ITS NICE.. ILLUMINATIC INA WAY… BUT UM BEYONCE DONE THIS WAY BACK IN 04 ON THE GRAMMYS. LIVE ON A STAGE…WHICH WAS EVEN HARDER
This was a MASTERPIECE! Amazing! Kanye West is ahead of his time, thats for damn sure! I mean… i wish this didn’t have to be the official music video… but…
damn… you cant hate it. You just cant.
but as creative as this vid was, eminem’s vid was better imo
“Cause you don’t understand him, it don’t mean that he nice” (c) hovi.
I love Kanye.. but HATED THIS VIDEO/PAINTING! It was a tease… yes it was a painting – not a video..but this was LAME.
Negatives: Kanye is a clown. Kanye is a garbage rapper. This tracks fuckin wack. Video is horrible. 90 seconds of bullshit.
Positives: The Beats Dope…….Ya Thats It.
100000000x time
kanye wack rapper sucks but good producer + this shit 1:43 sucks
Damn man….i’m one of kanye’s BIGGEST fans who also willingly admits that he can be pretentious as hell sometimes.
with that being said………..you know what? if you don’t have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all right? later.
it fell short.
VIDEO OF THE YEAR!! looks like a MichelAngelo Mural!!
not gonna lie. this is an amzing video visually. the time it takes to put something of this calibre into a complete product is what makes this a work of art. with that said, it is quite short and i was expecting a bit more seperate frames besides the frontal views. other than that, it’s definitely well done.
If this is the whole thing, I’m kind of dissapointed…
People who call this a “painting” should really look up what the definition of a painting is. This is definitely a video as the objects move. That aside, this is surely unique and rather well put together, and it only being 90 seconds just adds more to it’s uniqueness. The video was dope, song was solid, but when it comes down to it, this doesn’t really fit the song at all but just plays into Kanye’s douchiness.
Yaaaaawwwwwwwwn
I LOVE THE VIDEO…I MEAN PAINTING. I SAW IT ON A BIGGER SCREEN AND ITS AMAZING BTW THE NEW WITH RHI EM VIDEO IS PRETTY COOL, I DIDNT KNOW MY 5 YEAROLD SON LOVE NOT AFRAID SONG. SO ON THAT NOTE—–IM DONE HATING, MY CHILD IS A EM FAN> IRONIC
I LOVE THE VIDEO…I MEAN PAINTING. I SAW IT ON A BIGGER SCREEN AND ITS AMAZING BTW THE NEW VIDEO WITH RHI & EM IS PRETTY COOL, I DIDNT KNOW MY 5 YEAROLD SON LOVE NOT AFRAID SONG. SO ON THAT NOTE—–IM DONE HATING, MY CHILD IS A EM FAN> IRONIC
Epic!
C’mon YALL…Im not the biggest Kanye fan but that shit was (simply) great. Im not going to go into a philosopichal/asthetic rant about it(now), but that was innovative on sooo many level that you can find something to like/appreciate about it.If you dont like ‘Ye listen to the song.If you dont like the song look at the visuals.If you dont like the visuals and think its too short think about the MONEY AND TECHNOLOGY that went onto making this….And if NONE of that sprarks anything at all then imagine that you never saw Kanye West before and this was his FIRST song….Black American Music People common give props where they are due
ALL you people that think this “amazing” and “epic” and “deep” are hip hop psuedo intellectuals that are desperate to think they are into artists that are smarter than everybody else…take a fuckin art history course or read Dante’s Inferno and then get back to me on how “deep” this sorry excuse for a video was…go stare at a salvador dali painting and so how beautiful and intricate and thought provoking that is before you give Kanye all this credit for standing in one place for 90 seconds while slow mo shyt happens around him….i like the song, and for the most part i like Kanye…but dont overestimate what this is…..i dont think id like this video no matter who put it out, but atleast id give it more metaphorical credibility if ras kass or immortal technique or some other so called “concious” or “5 percenter” rapper released it…Kanye aint that so let it go
this is way better than that wack ass love the way lie no ones even talking about em’s piece of shit video
LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE = 0 SHIT IS SO UNORIGINAL SEEN IT 100 TIMES ALREADY..POWER = 100 BEST
i hate love the way you lie this is way better
alot of creativeness is in this video
Is anybody even paying attention to what the homie is trying to say? Audibly or Visually? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damocles
This one wasn’t for the lame brains. To all yall who CAN appreciate the song and video: I salute you. For those who have the capacity to appreciate it but DON’T appreciate it: I salute you. To those who CANT appreciate it for a lack of knowledge and culture: I pity you. Catch up kid. We’re leaving you behind.
@MARS real talk
kanye tries to hard to be different, man is a bitch i hope he shoots himself.
@mars, stop acting like you appreciate bullshit, we all get it just tied of this lame prick trying way to hard to impress, still got you jokers thinking your smart – hats off to kanye
Simply put one of the best videos ive seen its so creative .
This song is pretty sweet, it was awesome like 2 months ago when it came out. dont like the video tho, i mean it looks sweet, but who does kanye think he is? god? just like the pic up there says, c’mon son lol
@MARS ROFL proving how deep and philispohical this video is by supplementing your knowledge on the subject through a wikapedia link…that is a RESEARCH FAIL
kanye is dope n this song is fuckiiiiiin illllll…..but the video….i aint fillin it
WHITE POWER!!!
Am i the only one who has just grown sick of this guys ego?
He gathered a fanbase as a humble everday guy type of rapper and now the guy is trying to look like a greek god. Fuck outtta here with that bullshit, there is such a thing as trying too hard to be different.
He’s depicting himself as a dark angel. Standing between two pillar’s (prominent symbol in freemasonry), horned women, and orgy scene, insinuated death and gore, the chain of Horus (the egyptian god of all gods)(whose eye is supposed to be the all seeing eye….the whole video is deviltry. It’s a rebellion again God. He is depciting himself a man-god who gets his powers from lucifer. and I know there’s a lot of subliminals I didn’t even pick up.
Don’t be fooled think for yourself.
@dainventah: Is the story of the Sword of Damocles different anywhere else? Your name is a research fail. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS369US369&q=dainventah ….Keep rolling around on the floor.
@Carrisi: So he should stop trying to impress? I’m sure when you go out this weekend (if you go out) your going to try to impress somebody. Except you wont be original or progressive about it. So you’ll prolly go unnoticed. But that’s ok…Because you’re not built for that.
I’m done though…Got me a hot date…Good luck you two…convincing people and all…
@dainventah: Looking for Taylor Swift tickets? Hahahaha…….Boooo…Hahaha..
@Mars did you seriously google my screen name to prove your point? god damn damn get a library card already! ITS MADE UP BRO! and how would you know if the story of the sword of damocles is different anywhere else, you obviously haven’t even checked! you heard that shit on a Kanye blog, you google it and two hours later you are arguing a wikipedia entry like you forgot that shyt can be re- written by any idiot with an internet connection…ima go in there right now and change the story into a scooby doo episode, just so lazy ignorant fuckfaces can start quoting goofy shyt they found online like its gospel…oh wait…you already do that…
btw…you “deep” huh…100 to 1 odds kanye did the same shyt you just did before deciding to shoot this video…ol college dropout ass droid
i have ro agree with sasha on this one lmao
I THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY MISSIN THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS “MOVING PAINTING”. THERE IS SO MUCH SYMBOLISM IN IT. HONESTLY, I LOVE IT.
I DO WISH IT WAS LONGER AND HAD THE WHOLE SONG BUT REGARDLESS, KANYE BLEW MY MIND. HES BACK!
SIDEBAR: IF U COULDNT SEE THE SYMBOLISM IN IT AND WERE ALL CONFUSED AND THATS Y U HATE IT, #bodyyourself
To me the vid don’t match the song, but understand Kanye is into all this artsy shit and from a point of view maybe other than yours this was beautiful. Definitely unique, I mean who the fuck else does this?
where’s wale?
Shortt is brilliant. Who wants to watch long videos anymore? Our attention span is too short. Besides, people will hate either way. So again, KYezzy breaks another barrier. This kid continues to win even when he temporarily loses.
BTW: Speaking of short, what happened at the end of the Em video with Rihanna and Meagan Fox? I turned it off before the ending…..bwahahahha
fuuck uu its awesooomm gon kanye
HA HA FUCK JAY-Z!!!
KANYE IS THE GUY!! MAN IS A MUSICAL GENIUS
dude above me is trippin… how do you put blood into making a music video on a computer… you praise these dudes to much video way to short
@MARS fck a greek story,dude is african,not european,
ppl crack me up,get all excited about a video that looks like a million tv commercials, like oh wow,kanye is a genius,lol, lame brains get excited about nothing.
the song is dope,he could of made something alot more interesting, there is a reason why the movie industry makes more money than museums. 1 word. MOTION
