......and So did I Kanye, so did I. So finally we get to talk about what Kanye likes to call his debut as a "Movie Director" ehh em. I once had soo much to say on this short film but now I cannot fathom wasting my breathe on someone who doesn't appreciate others as much as he appreciates and is in love with himself. Don't get me wrong at all, I do think a lot of Kanye's work is absolute genius. Especially this track "Runaway". But when you can't say anything good about others because you are too worried about you always being on top, is something that I can not put up with. So here it is........I watched the whole hour long "Movie" and 45 minutes worth of the interview afterwards. In the beginning of the interview i was actually starting to believe that maybe his time off did him some good and his "I am God" level had calmed down but at one point he said a few things that turned it all back around and there he was, this insecure man with very low self esteem. When asked who he thought was at a very high point in their hip hop career and was growing as an artist, he did not point anyone out but himself. "No one can touch me. I'm making movies now." And that's when I got off the live viewing on MTV.com.
As for the small film in which he said and compared it to "some Michael Jackson shit"......well it was far from and please not to all artists: MJ was a legend, the King of Pop, the main reason why Music Videos are what they are today(Thriller anyone?). No one can touch him and do not compare yourself to him because you will come off as looking foolish. The short film, which I believe ran 35 minutes, I did not find impressive, creatively extensive, or well cast. This is the only clip where I do believe he speaks truth in what he says in the last minute. I have really begun to feel this way as well and what he says about "selling himself to the devil" and what it means to him. It's something that i will always refer to now because I love the way he developed this saying into something so meaningful to yourself and your dreams. Watch.
