This "painting" is very artistic and I Like it. But Kanye needs to release a new single with an epic MUSIC VIDEO before the album drops

Ok the "painting" is cool as ****, but it's that, it's a painting.

However I'm glad Kanye, as a mainstream artist, is experimenting with other audiovisual forms, hopefully everyone gets creative too.

But I do need a proper video, Mr. West

Out of all the releases today (Em/Rih, Janelle, and Kanye), Janelle wins, and her video was only worth 2 cents.

Bitch shut up, you don't even know what you're talking about.

I don't know what to make of this. He wasn't lying - It is literally a moving painting, original I guess, but not really a music video.

That was original but what happened to the other moving graphics we saw on the "docu-preview"? Honestly, the "making of power" would've been a great replacement than the official.

I liked it, it was creative....but it felt cheap, like I could have done it in my basement with Windows Media Player and Photoshop.

This is one trend, that I hope only Kanye does though....

I actually like it, though. This is definitely a first for music videos and the visuals are simply to die for.

It's also nice to know that the VMA incident hasn't cut away at Kanye's ego lol

I love it...Ive seen it at least ten times now trying to find all the Illuminati stuff..

Hes wearing the sun god "Rah" around his neck thats for sure..

That Vigilant Citizen site is going to eat this alive. :D

I bet he has another single coming.

I'm sure he does..rumor has it that it's "Lost in the World"..."Power" is just his "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" or "Can't Tell Me Nothing" from this album...i'm sure he's fixin' to drop a "Gold Digger" or "Stronger"

Love this "video"...it's different and original. I'm fine with him not making the same tired old music video rapping the song in front of different backgrounds or whatever like everyone else is doing.

8/6/2010, 4:25 AM
Love what i saw. And i'm DEF a Kanye fan to the max...

but it was so depressing seeing it on MTV...for 1:24 (a min and 24 sec)

:(

Hope there's an "extended version" or they just double it, and add vocals from the other verses...

I actually love the idea but Kanye is tryin' too damn hard to to be different, to be special, to be artistic.

He's screwing with Power's chance of success.

Here is the problem with power the song

It's got a great beat and good verses
But it needs a strong chorus like his previous songs (Stronger, Heartless)

I thought the video played on MTV (on TV) was just a preview when I saw it last night.

8/6/2010, 3:58 PM
When I saw it on MTV , I knew everyone would be upset because its short and it just a painting
Well to me you guys expect and whine too much
all of you don't understand and don't appreciate it and just be negative, be obvious about it and kill it.
It a painting So? It a good one. Kanye wants to be more different.
Unappreciate video just like the video for Flashing Lights :shakeno:
Don't worry his next video will not be like this cause he doesn't need to too many of this. One is enough and this one is good. and should not ruin it.

Yahhh!
