Back in December, portions of Kanye’s “Monster” music video were leaked, much to our delight. We were shown a very dark, macabre kind of music video complete with hanging corpses, beheadings, and S&M.
Now, with the release of the official video for the hit single off of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, we get to see English director Jake Nava’s work as it was meant to be seen (and it’s more twisted than we could have imagined).
Here’s the latest from Mr. Cudi — an official music video for Marijuana, a track off of Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. If you needed any more proof that Kid Cudi loves smoking, look no further. The video, shot and directed by Shia LeBeouf of Transformers fame, gives us a grainy peek into Cudi’s escapades at a party featuring a mariachi band, an Amsterdam coffee shop, the infamous Red Light District, and finally, performing on stage.
The music video for Kanye’s “All of the Lights” has just been released. It’s an amalgamation of words and bright colors that’s wild enough to make your head explode. I love Kid Cudi’s little dance at the end. And as usual, Rihanna looks absolutely amazing.
The first single for Kanye West and Jay-Z’s hotly anticipated album Watch the Throne has finally been released, and it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The song is called “H.A.M.” and it brings a new sound for the two hip-hop superstars. The opening of the song made me double check to make sure that I didn’t accidentally play the Tron soundtrack. You should definitely expect to hear this song blow up over the next few weeks.
