Runaway. A short film by Kanye West. Finally had a chance to sit down and watch this. This video is very oxymoron-ish. How can something be soooo “deep”…yet go “over” so many heads. First off let me credit Ms. Selita Ebanks who played the roll of “The Phoenix.” New number one on my list of “Hottest Women in the Game.” But thats for another post. One thing I respect about Kanye West is that his music goes beyond the average “club/hoe” pattern that hip-hop tends to follow. From a visionary stand point, to a creative mindset…there isnt anyone out that is on his level. When I think about the College Dropout…then to fast forward all the way through his discography, he constantly reinvents himself time and time again. Then to have the spirit and the boldness to release “808’s and Heartbreaks” (one of my personal favs) and be sensitive in a genre of music when “every man is supposed to be hard and on his player s***” just speaks volumes. Say what you want about him but all his records are the truth pertaining to him. What he is going through at the time is what your gonna hear and after watching this video…Kanye…you’ve done it again bro. And to those who didn’t get it…open your mind…your missing out on the makings of a masterpiece.
