Also, I had no idea "hip hop is unoriginal because it samples other artists" was still an interesting criticism of the genre!

As for the video, it seems, how do they say, misogynistic? (Which I believe is still a valid criticism, and not just against hip hop.)

Unless the still he put up on his website has been edited out, there was a shot of a woman in a ball gown in the middle of an empty street a month ago.

Considering that this fucking video has been hyped for weeks with stills, I wouldn't be surprised if there's still more to reveal.

The video cuts off a good minute before the song is actually over. *disclaimer, I maybe listen to this song too much, but I loooove it*

I actually was taken aback when she starts hitting him. He may have the ego from hell, but I can appreciate him for actually trying to do something different with his videos.

I had no idea DP were on "Through the Wire"! Damn, the things you learn from all-knowing posters on this site!

I'd never even heard of this guy before that "Stronger" song a few months ago.

Does Kanye have an original bone in his body? He already had to lean on the creative genius of Daft Punk to fuel his breakout single "Stronger" and now he wants to steal the video thunder from bad '90s has beens. Next thing you know Mr. West will have an infomercial like George Foreman or Suzanne Somers. Kayne would look good selling Thighmaster 2.0. Word.

Check. Our hero ends up in the trunk of a car? Check.
