No sooner had we heard that Kanye West had agreed to appear in Kim Kardashian’s music video that we got word ‘Ye himself had a new video to drop, and it’s a doozy. As previewed a few weeks ago, “Monster” is a (beautiful?) dark twisted fantasy of sorts, with Kanye, Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj all confronting a haunted house full of supermodel corpses, zombies and other things that go bump in the night. Watch the full-length (and just possibly, unfinished) video below. But maybe don’t watch it alone?
Oh, that Kanye — always thinking of ways to get a head. Particularly creepy is the early scene in which Yeezy lays in bed (and kind of spurs on a threesome) with two dead models. But we admit we thoroughly enjoyed watching Nicki Minaj take on … Nicki Minaj in her tongue-twisting appearance. (Was that a lap dance?) All told, it’s a memorable clip — credit is due to director Jake Nava — but can anything top “Power”? Perhaps the eventual(?) video for “All Of The Lights”.
And here we thought we’d have to settle for “unofficial” videos to get our Kanye fix this week.
What did you think?
Theres a lot that could be said about this videos overwhelming dark nature but Ill leave that to everyone else. The song, I’m liking and I haven’t particularly liked any of the previous singles from the album however, in the video I must say Jay-z had the weakest performance both visually (I freaking hate his dated mannerisms) and lyrically.
Nicki Minaj stole the whole show I’m waiting for me to get sick of her but its just not happening she brings it every time!
NICKI MINAJ DOES WIN. I AGREE.
Also, for all the people saying this video depicts domestic violence towards women, there’s a scene in the video during Kanye’s rap where a girl steps on a guy with her heel.
It’s not just against women, LOL.
Great information on models. I think this is right on.
