An explanation of kanye west "power" video


Like me i guess manny of you dint really get the kanye west "power" video, but while visiting necolebitchie.com i saw this artical "An Interpretation of Kanye West’s “Power” Video Painting", this will be one of the manny interpretation that you will see, but this made me understand the video or should i say the painting a little bit more.
read the interpretation below :

“One man shouldn’t have all that power…”

He’s surrounded by…
…sword wielding men, trying to cut off his head, sexy women engaging in lesbian acts, spilling water (water = life), food, bowing at his feet… …while ONE woman sits gingerly at his left, not moving. Eventually, she sprouts angel wings.

There are two women with devilish horns who hold a staff, a sign of power and leadership standing before him… …before the video cuts, the consuming images of the women disappear and ALL that is left are the two men trying to cut his head off.

To me, that is a POWERful video. Pun intended.

Cut off the head, kill the body. The creativity. The man. The purpose. The destiny. It wasn’t the p*ssy that “killed” him…

It was two men, with swords…

But can I go even further? Follow me.


The two women with the staffs, serve as Kanye’s mother. She was his leader, protector, guided him when she was alive… She stood guard, and while all the women, and distractions flew in around him, she was there, standing guard.

When ALL those things disappeared..

Kanye’s head, his most important asset, was taken off…

Kanye is no dumb dude. Not in the least…

Power personified.
