I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘Ye’s one of the few emcees left that still get $100,000 video budgets. The man just doesn’t know how to make a wack video.

    ur right sir. making bad videos is not in his genes. this is just another one to add to the long list of Great Kanye videos.

    p.s. i would have been nice to see a lupe cameo to go along with the chi-town theme.

    I like the vid but I can’t get into the song. I liked the original version MUCH better.

    Definitely a dope video. I’m a bit surprised it took so long , the song’s been hitting radio for weeks now over here.

    The song is here on the radio for months. Reached number 21 or something and is now slippin to 38. Well that’s in Holland…I hope this video will make it rise again.

    The video is dope, I really like the style!

    Er… what about ‘Flashing Lights’?? That was kind of a major miss. This on the other hand is pretty good.

    I hope he goes into video production and directing. He seems to have a natural talent for it…

    I’m a fan. I appreciate the time that he puts into his music and videos. To me, this video establishes the fact that he is a good artist, not those awards that he insist on throwing tantrums over.

    the songs obviously a monster but this video isn’t such hot shit. the overlay effect is cool but really this is just a video that could have taken the man an hour to film and put together. I’m not asking for something crazy but this shit is very plain to me.

    I must say “Flashing Lights” was not only his worst video but the worst video of the year maybe of the decade- but the song is still one of his best (all his songs are great) that video I really gotta hear the concept behind it cuz nothin was flashy or show off about it except the first 10 secs..oh and this video is SICK!
