Kanye West’s Lost Spaceship Video (Still Shots)

A little side story:

A few years ago when I worked at a commercial production company, I found out that the job had produced this Chris Milk-directed video for the song, which was set to be the final single off The College Dropout (I even had the treatment for the thing, until I threw it out while i was moving). When the label decided to just move on from the album and start promoting Late Registration, this video was set to be on a DVD compilation of Kanye West videos. I don’t know what happened, but essentially the entire thing got shelved and i forgot about the damn thing until GLC sent this over. Check out more shots – including Esther Baxter’s ridiculously thick self in one such shot – under the cut.

  6. “Lost my momma/ Lost my mind!”

    That was a cold song.
    I wish this video was completed and released… much better than the “Workout Plan” but that had a large amount of eye candy, so I can’t complain…

  25. MAN! THIS BETTER DROP! My idea for Kanye was to release a 10th Anniversary Edition of College Dropout in 2014 and drop that as a single video for it. BUT I CAN’T WAIT THAT LONG. I need this vid!

  28. I’ll never know why this didn’t drop and “Workout Plan” did, it’s not a bad song but people needed this…and in a lot of ways still do.

  39. “Esther Baxter’s ridiculously thick self”

    I would beat that cat so bad, it would be coughing up hair balls.

    & As for the song, just thinking about it makes me nostalgic for when I first listened to the album. It banged then; It still bangs now.
