Kanye West: Paranoid video featuring Rihanna



Overall, I think Kanye's videos are amazing. Given the generally boring state of music videos these days, Kanye's are refreshing, different and truly interesting to watch. I just love this latest video, Paranoid, directed by Nabil Elderkin. There is a ton of press for this video that centers around the use of Rihanna as the main character. Though all of the things written are true, she's stunning and it's a timely use of her given her personal life, I'm surprised that no one has written about the amazing aesthetic style of the video, the cultural quotes and the haunting qualities of the narrative. If I'm mistaken, please pass along a link to the article!
