Enjoy the latest visuals from Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak. Directed by Nabil Elderkin (Paranoid / Welcome to Heartbreak), who had the following to say:
This is definitely more of a haunting one,” he said of the number. ” ‘Cause this is sort of a remix. I don’t think anyone has heard this version of the song. He did some really amazing sound work to this one. This one he got into his production a little bit more.
Liar. I think the album version is 10x better. iTunes.
new kanye is always dope
heaving breasteses
I knew everybody is going to hit me up with this “you just don’t understand art” thing, but this was incredibly wack. Being artistic isn’t just automatically being random and weird.
I’m one of the biggest Kanye fans in world, but what did a “B(r)est I Ever Had” chick and extras from Harry Potter have to do with the song. It was an awesome and interesting clip, yes, but why for a Kanye West music video?
#KanyeShrug
extra dope
this is weird
The Vid Is Dope It Captures The Essence Of The Record To Me…
Dementor swag-> check!
this is dope. I’ve missed These Kanye visuals. the track sounds better too, barely even heard any auto-tune.
word to M.hannah
this did not fir the song at all… im like bleh
WTF is this? it seems like he’s done a video for every song from this album though..
Alot Of People Don’t Realize He Only Used Auto-Tune On The Hook Because Of The High Notes, The Verses Are Just Him Singing In His Normal Voice
dope
Shit was garbage honestly…besides…wazn’t coldest winter about his moms…i’m mad i cant get that 3.53mins added back to my life span
“Shit was garbage honestly…besides…wazn’t coldest winter about his moms…i’m mad i cant get that 3.53mins added back to my life span”
thats what im saying. the video seems like its trying to hard to be “artsy” and strays from the actual meaning of the record. dah well.
I was thinking it was about death chasing and taking his mom away..but..now I don’t know.
New Kanye album anytime soon lol?
…c’mon son.
i commented before watching…a little disappointing. didnt quite catch the correlation. think something more personal with him and his mom would have been WAY better and meaningful than this girls titties all up on the screen.
It was decent, jacked those dudes from Lord of the Rings, and I can kinda see where he was going with it, the whole idea you can’t escape death, and thats essentially what the song is about, although he dedicated it to his mom
Is it that serious to hate on Kanye? If you don’t like him, get off his dick and don’t listen. How hard is that??
Video was worth watching tho…
Video Wack & This “Remix” Version Is Wack. Only Video I Liked That Dude Made Was ‘Welcome To Heartbreak’
Cosign Meez
all in all I didn’t think it was bad, not that I was hype to see a video anyway. Visuals didn’t seem to be overly artsy, just distracting cuss they reminded me of a Harry Potter trailer. Wasn’t a waste, didn’t mind the remix but overall it was meh.
But regardless of the video, Kanye is still that dude! and yes cannonsmcfly, welcome to heartbreak was dope
I always thought those hobbits would look better with big ass tittays!
i agree. tryin 2 hard 2 be “artsy” wen he actually killed the song
why do you let n3wschool beat you to everything..i use to come to 2dopeboyz first
Good Ass Job Coming Soon!
I Doubt Kanye Gonna Use That Title Now. ^^^^^
It was just in the news LAST WEEK that IS the title he’s using.
the 808′s in the debut…the new effects on the beat..DOPE..visuals .=stunninG..
kanye shows us why they call him the GayFish.
this really looks like SHIT, yall are some fucking easily entertained clowns seriously.
for anyone saying they dont get it looks too me like he’s playing a dementor off of harry potter what is that?
Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them… Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself…soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life
therefore this makes perfect sense
^ What the fuck?
Not for me. Missed me completely.
This thread has me laughing quite a bit. Diamora & Hetallica responses = laughter.
Anyways, Ye’s done redid several of the songs for videos. They’ve all sounded better than the album versions. He needs to go and release a deluxe edition with both cuts and a demo disc.
I definitely see his original version of the album with the static application here. Y’all remember how the first version of Love Lockdown had a similar feature?
this video ha nothing to do with the song. i wonder how much time he took to make this, because obviously, it wasn’t enough. all this will do is continue to further persuade people that he is in that freemason/illuminati shit. my 2cents
Dope vid!
Shoulda just left the beat as is, though.
This nigga tried to make it creepy and put in fuckin’ Christmas/Jiggle bells sounding ass bells?!
What a loss!
The track isn’t just about the loss of his mom’s but the loss of his then girl. The one he was supposed to marry. He pushed her away and fucked up by his actions. Hence he’s sucking the soul from her that resulted in the end of their relationship.
and the song was waayyyy better with the reg. version not with all these trinkets and bells and extra horns and drums… My opinion
bad¿¿¿¿¿ that video is amazing ,i think is the essence of kanyes heart when all problems happens before 808
so this is the trash kanye been doin in the studio again thought he was recording good ass job
Leave the goth shit to the goth kids.
Seeing visuals to Kanye’s songs always helps me understand the artistic direction he was trying to go in. Great video. Even better song.
EPIC VIDEO!
Eh… *Kanye shrug*
I dont think some people know what art is… or is just to blinded by the bs to really understand “Art” . this vid is all about death and i couldve sworn the song was mainly about his mother… haha like the guy above me said… Eh, to each its own
getthefuckouttaherewiththatbullshit!
Y’all niggas ain’t got enough brain matter to understand SHIT.. all of y’all got the song concept and what the video is supposed to be about all wrong! SMFH.
no the concept is what he desires it to be, many niggas can portray things in a certain way and some in another way its basically what you see feel and believe…
1 word………… BOOBIES !!
doooooope!!
lol @ all the kanye hate. i would have thought that nigas would have stopped this far into his career but i guess not. smh…
I like this “remix” and this video. Both are dope. I don’t understand why people are mad about the video because you don’t see him moaning over his mom. Maybe he doesn’t want to. Maybe the girl represents his mom? This is hip-hop, people. Metaphors are key.
dope !
OMG THE ART GETS IN TO MY SOUL AND THE DEPTHS OF ONES MIND – Nigga, shut the fuck up.
is this video basically a scene from Lord of the Rings with a girl instead of 4 hobbits?
seems like it @ KJ
he don’t have to be moaning over his momma to get the point of the video… where you see the metaphors in this video? this dark ass vid yeah, it represents a cold state of mind but whats up with the reaper… look we all know that this won’t be accepted by nearly a 20th of his fans but damn. I guess if they make a AMT (artistic music television) this and all the new rocafella videos will be all up in there haha.
Dang where are the 808 bass drums!? & Idk I pictured some Japanese art type ish for the video. Lol.
It was okay. Original was more heart felt to me.
this thread is to funny LMFAO
i dont think kanye had anything to do with this?
but it was wack. i like the original. but the video was dope.
damn, ya’ll niggas hatin like ya’ll can make a better video and grammy awards and noms. at the end of the day kanye got more money than all of us, and the director of this shit prolly got a shit load of cash for making it. hatin is a waste of time yo, i’m bout to watch them titties bounce again.
Eh like most of you, I felt the original a lot more.. A- Titties tho
This is 10x better than the album version, its amazing.
Click on the name, because this and The Wolfman are the same…
And that, my friends, is lame…
YC The Cynic– enters the game…
BOOBIES!!!!!!
Video is different.
Ehhh. Wack. Like dude said before just cuz the shit is weird and dark it gets an art pass. Alot like to confuse different with dope. They not the same thing.
This was one of my favorite tracks on 808s, but I’m definitely not feeling the video much. Could of been a lot better if they went in a different direction instead of the a woman running from “Death”.
this is not a hate comment. this is an actual critique on the video. the song is great, i haven’t heard the original in a while, but i’m going to listen to it so i can hear what the difference is.
but all in all, the video was wack. i actually expected more. after heartless, welcome to heartbreak, love lockdown…hell even his old school videos like jesus, or through the wire, this video didn’t hold up to what we have come to expect from him.
i thought the song was about his mom and his ex, and i get the “concept” of the video. but the execution of the video, the graphics did not impress me. we’ve all seen better in movies and other videos, and if he was going to go this route than the game needed to be stepped up. and yes, i am a female so to me, the boobies were kind of unnecessary, but to each his own.
i think some more time and thought should’ve been put into this.
I like how Kanye doesn’t spoon feed his video concepts. He’s way more metaphoric with his sh*t , and i respect him even more for being original. SMH. I guess you’d prefer a video where he’s jacking scenes from training-day/ se7en/ or some other good movie… looking into a fisheye lens rapping the words to the song, standing on some random street corner… the usual trash hiphop video.
For those that need to be spoon fed, this video was more about death’s unescapable grasp. The Director is also playing with the juxposition of beauty within the ugliness of death.
PS: Dementors fly… these guys are like the Ring Wraiths from LOTR
meh
The audio was great. So was the video. I just don’t think they work well together.
i like boobs.
—a dying metaphor—
this shit is wack
One of the best visuals I actually seen in a video.
aye. the video is raw. but if u ain’t know before u definitely know now… kanye is obsessed with titties – “on top, ah, two bee stings” – not in this video doh. she might have had some wasp hives in those.
this was dope new kanye is always good
I just want REAL Hip-Hop!!!!!!!!
not dope at all. straight up weird.
i fuck with almost every other version EXCEPT this one
its alright. original is better. more raw.
Everyone that thought the concept of this video was irrelevant to the actual song is an idiot.I understood it clearly as everyone should have, but most of you were to focus on the women breast to see the bigger picture.
Seems like it’s been so long, I forgot how dope this track was.
ignorant ass niggas that dont understand art smh
how in the fuck is he trying to hard to be artsy smh
and the video does go with the song you niggas just too ignorant to understand cause its over your nigglet heads, do niggas not understand metaphors
and @Braniak 808 AINT hip hop, why do you people keep talking about hip hop when the album is not hip hop and its not supposed to be, like i said ignorant ass niggas.
anyway…original song>>>>>>this one
Is Kanye and his directors on their big titties slow motion phase like an artist or somethin? But I thought the visual was great…but nothin was better than welcome to heartbreak in my opinion
College dropout Kanye>>>>>
Art is not always predetermined, Art is meant to be deciphered by the viewer of the art. So the video does not have a clear meaning that’s all the better, this video is meant to provoke your own personal feelings!!!!!!!
I have no explanation for B(r)e(a)st i ever had!!!though if you are a guy i hope you enjoyed that video,lmao
And i am a ridiculously huge kanye fan i can even justify that Taylor Swift bullshxt. MTV let him in the awards even though he was drunk and was still drinking,they should have not let him in but since they did they saw what they wanted to see!!!!
Thats some devils shit. The End!
kanye is lost, and confused whoever did this video is clearly trying to set him up to FAIL. It’s Dark. They take her soul and she turns into a skeleton. now tell me thats not some devils shit.
LONGLIVEKANYE.
let the man breath
anyone else think yezzy has an obsession with slow mo bouncing boobs????
^^^^
thats a fact.
This song could probably be in the sound track for harry potter
whose the chick?!
All yall who said somthin bad need to stop hatin on my big sister
lol @ some very low class closeminded ignorant m’fckers. a lot of you dont understand the meaning of this video. and those of you that keep saying devil work are really pathetic
ill
wow obviously most of you all dont read up or into music so why bother to leave a comment. Leona Lewis is doin the dam thing in this video. Kanye should stick to producing because the audio sounds so much better on all of his videos. And yes this is his 6th single off the album because his plan is to make a video for every song on the cd. To try to sell more copies and break some sort of record. I like the video the audio plus visual productions go hand in hand and it deserves more play!
this just has to do with all that “sold my soul to the devil” stuff. Really though. The video has absolutely no correlation to the song. Just like Jay-Z’s the “on to the next one” video. Pity these fools. But nonetheless, Kanye is my man, just hope he gets his life back in order, better sooner than later.
You all realize that this has nothing to do with his album and actual “music” and that it has to do with the cult or secret society he is apart of. It supposedly symbolizes him trying to get away from the lifestyle that he’s apart of but he knows that no matter what he does they will always get him in the end. Thus the female trying to escape and then getting away and still being grabbed by the hands at the end.
Lets think about these things guys.
