You think Kayne is still bitter about his video being removed from MTV last year? His outburst at the VMAs prompted that action, but this year he closed the show with the brilliant "Love Lockdon" leading me to believe that the network and the rapper were coo. But then he premieres the new video on Ellen yesterday instead of MTV, or even the VH1? Yeah, still PO'd methinks. Or is just that MTV couldn't find room on the schedule for anything non-Hills related?
Whatever the cause, the video is your typical Kanye video. That is to say, a completely non-traditional rap video. No club scenes, no posses, no Cristal. Just Kanye wearing white (after Labor Day? For shame!) in a white room with African dancers doing their thing to the tribal beat breakdowns. Once again, Kanye joins Gnarls Barkley and OutKast as one of the few hip-hop stars who make interesting and unusual choices for their videos. Watch:
