I win
number nine monster given the song’s
title and lyrical nature it’s not
surprising that Kanye took a dark
approach for the music Asian mi had more
rage and the definite and about to take
it to another level Center which is
going with the ain’t nobody chosen seeds
even though the monster visuals still
caused a stir amongst critics and the
general public with appearances by jay-z
and Nicki Minaj there’s plenty of
bravado and flair lochness table school
Asami with no consciousness questions
whatever these things will happen
comment yet it’s Kanye’s nonchalant
attitude with the corpses and a detached
head that provides for some genuine
horse crap everybody knows there’s a bit
of Michael Jackson’s Thriller be fast
and easy even references the infamous
painting the hands that resist him and
so it’s all falls in line with the
horror genre and Kanye offers a nod to
the Past while creating one of the
area’s music videos of the 21st century
[Music]

contractions hunger directed by hype
Williams here’s the music video that
inspired a major fashion trend of the
time Kanye and a pair of shutter shades
right now you could be honored by my
lateness as a whole the futuristic Bible
stronger creates a hyper and urgent feel
taking heavy inspiration from Akira and
even featuring the docs pump robot Oh
baby you make it
for some the collective energy may seem
up this much yet the insert shots of
Kanye’s innovative eyewear immediately
struck a chord with pop culture making
the video both timely and certainly
ambitious

just what Kanye needed to expand his
personal brand we push the Jo
we are wisdom MOCA Hall number seven
Jesus walk
version two – don’t go away because the
Telstar a great chance for the second of
three music videos for the song Tonya
relies on the power of fire imagery

existential lyrics exploring religion
and psychological turmoil the
metaphorical Jesus walked video double
down on the human element go to hop the
killers murderers drug dealers even a
cripple of course the hallway flame
surrounding Kanye convey the audio but

light and darkness
Travis’s role models we rap we don’t
face this version of Jesus walked

oh so we’re number six heartless woman
so hard for this collaboration with hype
Williams Kanye followed animated trends
of the time for a colorful journey about
loneliness in 2008 the video and song
itself marked a new phase for youth and
the visual nod to the 1981 film American
pop demonstrates the evolving mind of
the progressive artists advocacy so dr.
Evo you bring an A – a tomato with such
a distinct visual aesthetic one can
easily lose track of the actual lyrics
if the trippy video captures the feeling
of isolation through its colour palette
and wandering central subject how can
talk in talk in town baby list is nasty
ow
heartless conveys a hypnotic vibe and
it’s separated Connie even more from
cliched hip-hop videos how could you
[Music]
all I gotta say you’re welcome
number five good luck presents fresh
production
Connie enlisted the directing team of
Jonas and Pascua along with the
animation artists so me it’s good guys
it feels like antennae it feels like it
feels like Miami while Yeezy often
boasts about his genius this video
allows him to literally pull out the
brilliance of his lyrics
overall it’s a relatively humble music
video emphasizing creativity and a
positive outlook the first time the keys
to come in with the plastic seats feel
clean dress you clowns out of town and
though it won’t go down as one of the
most beloved hip-hop videos of the
decade the good life production features
a happy easy relishing in the artistry
and attitude that fields the graduation
album as a whole
it’s a celebration and one that would
proceed more ambitious work I’m back
today is always had a passion for
flattening

the night I’d not be exact same mine
number four diamonds from Sierra Leone
soda Jamison staff sab directed by hype

enhances the mood of the lyrical
narrative while conveying a cue style
damn if you really have called up and
can you talk about red this is my man
you brought us with SOG is the central
backdrop diamonds from Sierra Leone
highlights the european wealth complete
with some evocative cuts of the origin
of conflict diamond it’s a highly
stylized music video and one that
doesn’t press too hard in order to shock
with Kanye delivering a fat pillow the
troops in monochromatic visuals contrast
the intensity to proof a dreamlike
effect with the majority of the single
frame standing on their own it’s a
visual portrait and yet another easy
video that balance of style with
[Applause]
[Music]
Wes Josh we don’t Stefan party number
three all fall down see snow
self-conscious
he had no idea which is going to college
truck in Ontario California and directed
by Chris milk this music video is seeing
through the eyes of the artist
it’s those brief random moments that add
a little extra spark to a subdued
production such as this along with a
cameo by actress stacey dash the police
that’s not true you know we buy our way
out of jail but we can’t buy freedom
most importantly easy sprayed heavily
from cliches and serves up his personal
point of view and within a contained
environment that most people can relate
to and where the calls man who is on
holiday back in 2004 the music video
shows that Kanye did things a little
differently than most
[Music]
number two flashing light you don’t
believe in shooting dogs but he believed
in shoes and cars for this psychosexual
video
Kanye gets properly worked over by a
vengeful woman featuring the model Rita
G flashing lights immediately stands out
with a slow-motion and cryptic storyline
as a bound and gagged Kanye appears in a
trunk I know it’s been a while
sweetheart we hardly talked I was doing
my bangs and with the violent conclusion
the flashing like video addresses
generals modern pop culture without
being too visually provocative of course
Kanye also take a backseat both
literally and figuratively
flinging the spike jonze directed works
speak for itself first class versus
feedback a field senior so with the
inherent eroticism and femme fatale
heroine it’s more of a short films and a
traditional music video flash fly fly
fly before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable since like last
night
how you doing when you’re saying good
morning good morning
[Music]
number one run away representing a
creative evolution Kanye West steps into
the director’s chair for this music
video offering a visual statement to
support his apologetic lyrics hey I
can’t stand run away fast as you can
inspired by the work of Stanley Kubrick
and the short films of packed music
video icons easy examines the beauty of
high society and the ugliness that tags
always be seen
this way so how the runaway video has a
distinct arthouse vibe with Kanye
positioning himself above the ballerina
setting allowing him to see the forest
through the trees and by directing a
separate 30-minute version of run away
Kanye also established himself as a
genuine music video ohter of his
generation
