KANYE WEST MONSTER


This is the recent video released for Kanye West's 'Monster', taken from his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. In true Kanye style, this freaky video has met with a lot of controversy due to the amount of dead models everywhere (Kate Moss is in the video, not dead), zombies eating people, a lot of blood and gore - here's something from the Daily Mail: "With foul language and graphic scenes it is too offensive to post on this websitee [sic]."

It's not too offensive for this websitee though. Here you go.



This song also features a lot of people. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Bon Iver, and the wonderfully MPD-affected Nicki Minaj. Best lines in the song for sheer absurdity and extremism come from Kanye himself - "Have you ever had sex with a pharaoohh uhh? Put the pussy in a sarcophagus, now she claiming that I bruised her oesophagus" - and Nicki's first line for her part: "Ok, first things first I eat your brains, then I'ma start rockin gold teeth and fangs." Ok, Nicki...


The originality here may be questionable for some, but for me, it's a great way for each of these stars to write some seriously dark, over the top lyrics. It's fun for everyone.

  2. Isn't it just? Was it you who said the video had a totally Gaga vibe about it? If so, spot on!
