The final version of Kanye West’s video for “Paranoid” is out, as evidenced by the protective MC posting the clip to his blog. Rihanna is still done up in a duct-tape garter in the clip, although the crazy dream she’s having is a bit more fleshed-out in this version. Much of the dancing in the video that leaked last week has been swapped out for lyrics shooting down a darkened ravine’s twisty roads and Kanye-as-werewolf allusions; the mix also sounds more robust, and may just very well put the track in the pole position of the ever-ensuing Summer Jam Contest that music obsessives like to hold until about mid-July or so.
