Crazy Dope! Rihanna steals the show and Cudi has the meanest red leather on. Hype Williams!!!!

I’ve just about lost my taste for Cudi… he just seems more and more like a jackass. if you’re gonna be a douche, at least have some talent like Ye.

don’t watch if you have epilepsy. good video, not his best, but who cares. the songs on this album is too good for any video to be bad.
Rubee

this video seems like a huge nod to enter the void. watch the opening credits on youtube and you’ll see.

I like the track and the album. Video is aiight, especially from one it’s true groundbreaking artists, Hype Williams. I expected more visually. The Justice “DVNO” & (as Rubee said) “Enter the Void” graphics were cool not spectacular. Won’t hurt the song or album.

Yea this video is pretty hot, but I didn’t really expect anything less. I think it wouldve been crazy if all the artists couldlve been in it though. http://bit.ly/hvLxvE

Lame video. Too much going on, doesn’t make sense.

Seems as though Kanye is using this scenario to describe the stresses he went through in the industry these past 2 years. Maybe the kid represents his career and the man not dealing with his anger and depression constructively is Kanye. The mother and “the system” keeping him from his “kid” both symbolize the media and the mob (angry fans). If you look at it this way the lyrics make much sense….but then again only Kanye knows what the lyrics really mean.

wow, that was some serious crap – not that I’m too surprised. i thought we’ve learned that hype williams causes one to loose their direction – thank you common. starting with an art house opening then running into generic ego tripping – I guess is par for the course, say you’re an artist, but really just about the hype!

The Video was Dope!!! Not too crazy about the record though. Rihanna look good in it but she just stands there and doesn’t do anything. Not saying she should Shakira it out lolol but be a lil more entertaining!!! Hype still got it!!!!

As a filmmaker, I have never understood Hype William’s obsession with crediting himself in his videos. Its reals egotistical not even the greatest music video director, france’s Michel Gondry ever puts his anme on the videos. The moment belongs to the musicians not Hype Williams. this video is average and does not live up to the wonderful track. It certainly does not warrant MR HYPE placating his name all over it. What a Dousche Bag.
