Kanye West: Runaway

This is the reason I hate and like Kanye West. His ego is so big that he is willing try doing new things that are completely out of the realm or the Hip-Hop world. “Runaway” pretty much is an outgrowth of his ego but in a good way.

This video is basically a sampler of all of his new tracks.

Kanye does fairly good job in the directing chair. The transitions from each song and scene is fairly seamless.

~Some of the quiet moments between songs might turn some people off.

~Half Naked Bird Woman? I have no problem with. She has an amazing body. Selita Ebanks plays the strange bird woman (The Phoenix). She was a Victoria's Secret Angel. Now, I under why she looks good in the outfit.

~I kind of like seeing Kanye West playing around with a drum machine.

~There is a tribute to Michael Jackson at the 8 min mark.

~Somehow he’s made ballerinas sexy. This is probably one of my favorite sections from the video. It is just a nice little set piece. I love the tribute to the “Douche Bags” because the song is related to his problems after the MTV incident last year. (He's had a few MTV incidents.)
