Runaway The Movie -by Kanye West

There you have it…….
YouTube Preview Image

First things first: I could watch Selita Ebanks in this bird dress FOREVER.
I loved the colouring and all the details like the shape of the dancers and the way tone and emotion were conveyed without being cheesy. I could watch the scene where she drinks out of the cup for the first time over and over again…and the dinner scene is epic. Did you realise that all the people on the table are black and that all the servants are white ? Everything here in the US is so black and white…and I get it, but from a black German’s or maybe from a black not american perspective, all of this feels so weird.

Maybe I am just more a music than a movie person, but all I thought after that thing was: I can’t wait to hear this album. Can’t wait.

Hate it or love it or call him egocentric or wannabe artsy, but I think it’s kinda dope when you can just shoot a 30 min pop culture halleluja with a victorias secret chick in it, when you feel like it. Damn I would do it too, so no matter if the film is good or bad, trash or art….I go for ‘just enjoying the ride’ while watching Captain Caps Lock’s creative journey. And when any of his other outputs one day comes out as good and as real as his music and touches me in the same way, I will be all for it.

As usual Youtube Germany sucks ass, Germany check out the movie HERE.

POWER- Kanye “Video”

I just can’t get over this video, or let’s say painting or moving portrait? It’s just beautiful.I watched it over and over again, discovering new details everytime watching it. It often seems to me that many videos, even when they are nice, are distracting. The listener becomes a viewer. Compared to them, this “video” directs the attention to the music by visualizing it.

To me it is the perfect combination of sound and image, instead of only telling a story (is there any story that hasn’t already been told?), showing titts and ass for the 500…th time, or some ridiciously good party, live performances with laser/light whatever effects, it makes you FEEL THE SONG and take inspiration from it (and it still tells a story). I think that’s what music is about.

Watch the video HERE.
