CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: World renowned as an ambitious paragon of artistry whose thirst for innovation is only rivaled by his innate ability to grind the gears of mainstream America as only a proud caked up Black douche bag can, Kanye West is the consummate provocateur. And, be clear, he loves every minute of it ... today, 34 minutes and 31 seconds to be exact ... lol.
Unusually long (NOTE: By A.ttention D.eficit D.isorder Hip Hop standards) Kanye West's Hype Williams's written visual for "Runaway" represents the convergence of indie film spectacle and marketing with all points leading towards global domination for the Illuminati Don ... lol. Rife with symbolism that shatters the hackneyed metaphors that punchliney battle rappers and fans alike sadly mistake for "smart", Mr. West, Mr. West delivers a short film (READ: Album promo) that will hopefully challenge the thoroughly dulled senses of this generation of viewers.
My girl was right to point out that the premise of this video is nothing new - "star-crossed" lovers whose relationship is doomed to fail by virtue of their differences ala Disney's "The Little Mermaid" or Shakespeare's "Romeo And Juliet". Yeah, I see that too (NOTE: Although, some people interpret Disney's "The Little Mermaid" as a cautionary tale against race-mixing. How fun, right? Lol). In any event, cliche or not, I fux with this video and, more importantly, I fux with Kanye's mission to drag Hip Hop culture - even kicking and screaming - into a new age of rich creative awareness. Bravo!
*Spoiler Alert (Do NOT Read This Supplemental Section Before Viewing The Video)* Some quick observations: 1) Kanye West runs pretty fast for a guy sprinting sockless in a pair of loafers. 2) Selita Ebanks is 1 fallen phoenix who would most definitely get her pretty little plumage plucked! And, thirdly, I have a pressing query that requires your immediate and thoughtful attention: If the only way that a fallen phoenix can return home is to burn to ash and she did, indeed, return to her rightful world AFTER having a night of surely unprotected sex with Kanye West, does that mean that Yeezy has gonorrhea? Hey, I can't call it homie ... lol. What say Y.O.U. loyal Livestyle community? Holla @ ya boy in BK!
