So for any Kanye West fans out there he just released a short-film called "Runaway" which is mostly based on the song "Runaway" but has other excerpts from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".
This movie shows you the the mind of Kanye West, he directed the whole movie (although guessing he got alot of help). The movie looks amazing in HD and is available on YouTube here:
In short its a story about him and his pheonix.
In short if you're a fan of Kanye's music, or just Good Music in general definitely watch this movie. The cinematography is great, clothing design is great, and music, the most important part is great and has great guests like Kid CuDi, Dwele, etc. and great producers like RZA, Q-Tip, Pete Rock, and DJ Premier.
Also please don't bring in Kanye West is an asshole, a retard, a faggot, etc.
-edit-
Also please do not judge the movie by the youtube snapshot.
The music is excellent. Kanye is often sneered at by musical elitists because of his popularity but he is an absolutely brilliant producer and this album looks like it will be his best.
This was a very very interesting video. I can see how he tried to express to everyone that he is different. The colors and the imagery was just perfect. The COVER, however, disturbs me a great deal
Saw this on VEVO, great video. Kanye West is definitely one of the best right now (cept when he released 808 and heartbreak blah). LOVE college dropout.

The movie was awesome.
Good producer? Absolutely. That is his background after all. I don't think he's that great of an artist though and most people I know that sneer at him do so because he's an obnoxious douchebag above all else.

I think you need to relisten to 808 and Heartbreaks without judgement on the autotune.

sorry bout double posting i have been watching the video, and didnt refresh first. i would have edited above post had i known. heres a link to DL the .mp3 i donno if a mod will delete it, and or if this works, so get it while its up!
there we go, hey anyone know of really long song names just like this, i hate short .mp3's and long stories are best types of music, stories in general are always best, pink floyd has good music for that among hundres of other artists. but yeah please tell me,!
I wish more artists were like Kayne. I also used to think 808 was one that you could pass up on. After listening to it in its entirety without judgement I can honestly say I loved it. It brings out so much emotion, which is what music is all about.
This seems ridiculously pretentious. Any talentless moron with a budget, and somehow passion enough to come up with this many bad ideas could make this. To the dancers and special effects artists, i don't really care. Obviously just people desperate for work or owing someone a favour, not contributing anything to the overall artistic merit of the movie. I did not watch the whole thing.
