SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Did Kanye not have time to shoot this more than once, or did he just love the pauses?
How did this video exist for 9 months before I saw it?
Why is he wearing gloves?
Why did the red shoes cause him to change his nickname? And why is his nickname now an amalgamation of MLK and Louis Vuitton? Is he the preeminent activist for loud fashion civil rights?
How do you write out numerically his swagger level of “a hundred…thousand…trillion?”
(Also, 808s and Heartbreak is great and I didn’t realize how great until the last two months. It’s an incredible thesis on the vapidity of fame and money. I will definitely write about it in my year-end music recap even though it didn’t come out this year.)
