New video: Kanye west "power"

Kanye West finally premiered his video to the song "Power". The video was directed by Marco Brambilla. It's Kanye's comment on what we call "good" and "evil", the imagery used is very intense and will certainly please the self-proclaimed video interpretors aka churches and extremist christians (no offense to anyone who believes in those Illuminati videos flooding Youtube). Kanye wanted to express his view on power and being a celebrity, he surely knows what it is to be a man of power. "It’s kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way. It had this very dark, personal conflict within it. Because of his own concept of celebrity and his own notoriety, he’s keenly self-aware of all these things. And it all came out in the music." Marco Brambilla said.
The video is very dark and deals with both sides of power, positive and negative; as usual Kanye is not afraid to shock. Recently, they were rumors on the web that he was going through a "bad" time, rumors that were based on the kind of art he was into (skulls pictures, ghostly women portrait,...) so now I guess the video confirms the rumors, except I wouldn't call it a bad time, it's just another side of this amazing hip hop artist.

So we'll let you all enjoy it and please make an opinion of your own :-)

The Commanders are OUT!
