Power

For his newest album My Dark and Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West released a 35 minute short film (directed by West, script written by Hype Williams) as accompaniment to the album (similar to Pink Floyd's The Wall or Michael Jackson's Thriller). My own skepticism of Kanye aside, I'm obsessed with what he's doing to his song Power. The song itself is goes back and forth between stating that no man (West) should have all that power, and him stroking his ego raw with lyrics about how his "childlike creativity" was "pure and honest."

Anyway, here's the clip from the film (Disregard the half-naked dancing woman. She's supposed to be a phoenix but her costume just seemed to be a bit much for me).



Here's the original song and music video for Power:
