A toast to the douchebag(s)

Hey shnookums, let's get right to it.

 


So Idk how you guys feel about Kanye West as an individual, (I know I'm not his biggest fan) but Kanye West as an artist? This dude is pretty boss. His latest, 'Runaway', a mini movie premiered just days and I finally sat down to watch it. People, the man has done it again.

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about 'Runaway' ranging from 'epic' to '30 minutes of WTF?!' I personally loved it. The cinematography, choreography and costuming was just stunning. Here's  a brief summary from MTV just to get everyone acquainted with what's going on.


"The film revolves around West crashing into a phoenix (a mythological bird played by Selita Ebanks), whom he carries away from the flames to nurse back to health and then teach the ways of our world. Songs featured in the film include "Monster," "Power," "Keep Calling," "All of the Lights," "Devil in a New Dress," "Lost in the World" and, of course, "Runaway."  


Got it? Good. For realz, set aside 30 mins, click full screen, and watch this ish. (Btw this is the clean version, it was the only version I could find with such high quality).
