You might remember that way, way back at the beginning of the year, a rough cut of this video was leaked. Everybody was just too excited to see what kind of business Kanye, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, and Bon Iver could get into together. But now, six months later, the official version of the video is finally out. It’s pretty similar – the only differences I can spot are the additional shots of creepiness, the contortionist in Nicki’s part, and the removal of watermarks. Are you guys digging this spiffier version?
Ok, confession time: I’m mildly obsessed with this song. I don’t understand why, it’s not like I’m that into Kanye, and though I do think Nicki is adorable, I don’t jam to her tunes or anything. Is anyone else in my position? It’s just the magical sprinkling of Bon Iver in the song, right? Please help me clear this up.
It’s completely hypnotic. A classic tale of good vs evil, of the perils of fame and power hunger…
yeah Ive got the same thing. i have to admit i prefer the pre jay-z part of the video. all a bit teen wolf from there.
Fucking horrible garbage.
