Kanye West - Runaway (30 min video)

[Jammin]

 

Kanye is a genius. This video makes no sense but it still blows my mind. I'm so excited for the album.

 

I just checked this subforum, sorry if it's been posted..

[Nitro]

So...is this all one song? Or a few songs connected and made into a video?

 

If they are separate, I like the first song, and the one around 18min or so.

 

Video is weird as [expletive], just like Kanye is. Wish he's get back to his CD/LR music.

This was amazing. Kanye really is a artistic genius.

I think all of the songs in the video are 5 or 6 different songs/snippets from his new album.

Oh ok, so it's kind of like a rap opera.

 

It's kind of cool I guess, but just wayyyyy out there.

Has a lot of symbolism regarding his life in the past year. Specifically the Phoenix.

[kadillak]

It's a bunch of different songs in there.

 

All Of The Lights

Runaway

Gorgeous

Blame Game

Dark Fantasy

Lost In The World

 

plus he chopped up the Power beat in it

 

really good stuff...a lot of symbolism and a lot of creativity coming from a hip hop artist

All Of The Lights

 

Awesome song. Rihanna is amazing on that hook.

 

Gorgeous

 

IIRC that's the one with Cudi. Sounds like its gonna be really good.

 

/Can't wait for this album!

I took a quick listen to all those songs (either full/snippet) and the only one I'm really feeling is Dark Fantasy. Still very excited to hear his new album, though, as I'm sure some of his stuff hasn't been fully edited and whatnot. Kanye usually doesn't dissapoint, so I'll definitely take a close listen to it.

Haven't seen the movie yet. I'll probably watch it tomorrow...heard it was pretty cool

[Flash]

is Rihanna in all of the lights?

 

Yeah. She's on the chorus and Drake drops a short verse in the beginning.

[OSUBucksfan09]

Yea, i just had the rly old mix that was dropped on this mixtape site i use lol.

Video is really good as is rihanna's verse.

Just another reason I like what Kanye makes.

Saw this last night, Kanye is a beast.

[fish7718]

So if you don't want to waste 30 minutes watching I'll recap

 

When the video starts Kanye is just running down a road

Then Kanye is in a car driving and sees something fire beam/thing falling to earth

He drives his cap up and finds out it was a bird lady/angel?

He picks up the thing and brings it to his house

Then the thing wakes up and starts watching the news

Kanye turns off the TV and tells it not to listen to the news

Then the thing goes out into back yards and hangs out with a lamb and a deer

Then Kanye plays the power beat while it dances

Then they go watch a fireworks show, with a huge Michael Jackson head?

Then the sit down and the thing plays with/learns to use a teacup? as Kanye watches

Then they go big a dinner with all black people and the white people (females) serve food

Then the dude next to Kanye at dinner says his GF is beatufiul then he asks if Kanye knows she a bird and Kanye say "no i never noticed that" and the other dude say "leave the monkey in the zoo"???idk

Then Kanye goes and plays runaway on a piano and a bunch of balerinas come dance (this goes on forever)

Then the people hold their cups at the table like they are toasting to what Kanye says

Then they all go back to eating birds (chicken, turkey)

Then when bird lady sees a turkey she grows wings and starts freaking out

Then she startings making weird noises and everyone runs away, cept Kanye, who stays at the table holding his head

The the bird lady plays with the lamb and deer again

Then the bird lady finally talks

BL "Can I ask you question

Kanye "ofcourse baby"

BL "all of the statues that we see, where do you think they came from?

Kanye "I think artist carved them years and year a-"

BL "No, they are phoenix turned to stone"

Kanye Laughs "baby th-"

BL "They are Phoenix turned to stone, you know what I hate most about your world anything that is different you try change/tear it down, you rip the wings of a phoenix and they turn to stone, and if I don't burn I will turn to stone"

Kanye "what do you mean burn"

BL "If I don't burn I won't go back to my world"

Kanye "I don't want you to go back to your world, I want to you stay here with me"

BL "I have to burn"

Kanye "No I will never let you burn"

then they kiss and have freak deaky sex

Then Kanye wakes up in the middle of nowhere

Then Kanye runs through the forrst after realizing bird chick is gone

Then we see bird chick in fire

Then we see the opening scene again of Kanye booking it through the streets

Then we see a fire beam leaving the earth

Then credits

He's a genius. I liked how he took most of the songs off of his album and included them in the video. The only part that bothered me was the 3 minuts that he just used auto-tune in the runaway section. It really threw me off. I'm pumped to hear the album version of the song Blame Game.
