The mind of Kanye West and how it works should be the 8th Wonder of the World. It must be HARD being Kanye because the things that this dude comes up with are crazy!
Does anyone remember watching “Ghostbusters II”, when the dude in the painting came to life? This is exactly what I felt like when I watched this video. Kanye and vid director Marco Brambilla used technology, vision, and their collective crazy artistic minds to come up with this concept of a “portrait” instead of your traditional music video. There are sexual overtones, classic mythological structure and realism, and all sorts of themes and imagery that I’m sure us normal folks will never fully understand.
That being said, it’s still dope because it’s nothing like we’ve seen lately, though it is terribly short. Leave it to Kanye to break all molds! I’ve watched it a couple of times and my favorite part is where it is just him and his eyes are whitened…that’s crazy to me.
What are your thoughts? Are you let down by the “Power” video? Do you feel sucker-punched? Do you think Kanye is a wunderkind? Let me and your fellow readers know!
