the original video leaked back in december before all of the lights officially dropped. randomly, in the beginning of june, we have the official release and the first new breaths in kanye’s reportoire since h.a.m. or that shitty ass E.T. remix. regardless, the video’s completely different from the original. ye’s got the exclusive stream of his own video…so yeah.

god bless yeezy for celebrating the sideboob. today must be our day. not only will you have plenty of seizures amidst colors, swirls, karoake words and cop cars, but you get to see plenty of ri-ri.

unsure of whether or not yeezy has plans to shoot a video for this song (he probably doesn’t), ross went ahead and made a video for his flawless contribution to MBDTF. however, i do wish the guy got a stretch limo and wore a black tux with lavender shoes. i mean he’s rapping about it, so why is there a maybach and a track suit? just nitpickin’.
BAWSE.

well, for the 550 lucky folks in nyc, the bowery ballroom show was one for the ages. smallest venue ever to house the names from his entire label, justin vernon, diddy, swizz beatz, nicki minaj, rawse, donald glover, questlove, aziz ansari, and probably A SHIT TON of other people on twitter who i didn’t happen to catch cool bragging about this shit.
anyway, rest of the videos after the cut. i know he performed the whole record, but i’d like footage of that as well. the best video is a 9 minute rant, which’ll be the first clip, followed by the rest of the performances.

it’s exactly what you’re expecting, put into 800 words. hit the jump for the review.

well, the itunes version’s here, now with a brand new big sean verse to fill that entire space where they had uncle charlie go crazy on that shit. still not huge on this song’s wack ass beat, but the entire bit sounds much better.

here’s the audio from the “power” remix that ye performed on his mpc 2000 on his runaway short film. it’s all samples and strings and pretty damn dramatic.
this will be the official album artwork for the deluxe version of my beautiful dark twisted fantasy if purchased via itunes. it comes updated with the bonus track “see me now,” as well as the runaway film.

if you’re reading this website than i assume you did your civic duty and tuned in to the kanye’s directorial, writing, and starring vehicle runaway last night on one of the three major music channel outlets that aired it. filled with 9 songs from the upcoming album, a theme of discrimination, model/feathered sex goddess selita ebanks, and kanye’s usual eye for the avant garde, runaway was, as the album title implies: a beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy.
also for those of you living under a rock, the man of the hour surprised all last night at the brooklyn bowl by making an appearance at the fool’s gold 3 year anniversary party. being introduced by his former dj and owner/founder of fool’s gold, a-trak, kanye came out to perform a mini set consisting of songs from my beautiful dark twisted fantasy to the hysterical masses. hit the jump for videos of “so appalled,” “monster,” “power,” “devil in a new dress,” and “runaway.”
