Is this really the official video? Even for a viral clip, it seems a bit shoddy for ‘Ye. Either way, I love this song. Mood music…that I can kind of relate to right now. Sigh.
I too, am kinda like a big deal. And now I’m off to this Karriem Riggins concert at the Triple Door…holler @ a hyphey.
Why the hell was this never released? A few things could be tightened up, but the video is cool and the song was an insta-classic as soon as that first College Dropout advance leaked. Ah…those were the days. Senior year of college…the memories!
Ok, so I like the official version of the video more than the bootleg that leaked, but I dunno…still doesn’t do a ton for me. Rihanna’s Aneesa meets Cruella de Vil look just isn’t hot to me and the action poses she strikes throughout are kind of cringe-worthy. I suppose that’s what they were going for.
I do like the nightie lingerie outfit though…I approve of that. The alternate mix of the song is cool too, though it’s only slightly different than the album version (my current ringtone).
Ahahahahahaha, greatness. Though to be fair, range is generally not our problem. It’s every other skill set on the highest level, but we have jumpers for days.

Despite the special effects looking like cut scenes from an early 2000’s computer game (Starcraft FTW), I kinda dig this video. Well, upon further review, I think I just like he song and the clip itself is adequate. Kanye kind of bodies his verse (for a guest 16 on a R&B track) and The-Dream is actally one of the few pop/R&B singers I like these days. Though I don’t like that there’s a hyphen in his name…not one bit. Why does The-Dream have a hyphen and Flo Rida doesn’t? These are the things that keep me up at night.
Sidenote, Seattle folks: The-Dream (and perhaps Ms. Milian?) will be coming to Summer Jam this year, July 25th at White River Amphitheater. For more info and the complete lineup, click here. And since it is a recession, if you want to cop lawn seats for $9.33, we’re having a special promotion this Saturday from 10am – 1pm at White River. Plus, if you find me there and mention The Audacity of Dope, you win a special prize*.
*special prize is dap lasting no longer than 2.3 seconds.
Yeah, Cudi’s on the hook on this too, along with Hudson…not sure why nobody ever credits him…
Anyway, here’s the long awaited video for Kanye’s “Paranoid,” one of my favorite songs from the past year. Unfortunately, this video doesn’t really do a lot for me, mainly cause I don’t think Aneesa from the Road Rules/Real World Challenge Rihanna is that hot. Sue me. Song is still the JAM though.
“…your first good one, in a while…”
This is kind of a big deal. Mykola Dosenko created all original graphics based on classic NES games for this unofficial video to Kanye’s “Robocop.” Wow.
Spotted on Drop Bomb.
I’ve never been a huge fan of this track (the “maven” line always makes me cringe), although the drums are fire. Hype Williams’ visuals look great, but I’m not sure they add much to the record. They really just make me want to go to Hawaii…stat.
Really can’t go wrong with Kanye + basketball. That’s about as good as it gets.
The NBA…where millionaires steal memories from cities and move teams at their whim happens.
