Am I the only one who thinks Kanye West’s new album 808’s and Heartbreak is going to be amazing? All of the five songs I’ve heard off it thus far are great, especially “Heartless”, his second official leak from the new album. THE VIDEO FOR THE SONG IS ABSOLUTELY SICK!!!!! Check it out…
Hype Williams directed it, and according to Kanye, the animated look of the video was inspired by an old film from the 80’s called AMERICAN POP that Hype put him on to. Watch the trailer below…can you see the similarities? Pretty fresh take on it though, huh?
Kanye West has definitely had his share of innovative videos in his day, and the music to match. I posted my favorite of them all, his first video (that he funded himself) “Thru the Wire”, a couple months ago as part of my post reviewing his Glow in the Dark tour. But here is a serious contender for best Kanye West video of all time, “The Good Life”. When this came out, it blew me away, alot like the “Heartless” video did when I first saw it a few days ago…
I gotta say, Kanye West is #1 right now in all of music. He’s got it all, from the beats to the raps to the sing song melodies to the live shows to the videos to the everything. I can’t wait for his new album to drop. Don’t sleep, he put out a trilogy of classic hip hop albums, and now he is about to conquer the pop world while managing to still keep his sound street and cutting edge. Impressive to say the least. Don’t hate, congratulate.
