The Sticks & Stones: A Fresh Foundation
 
Via: KanYe's VEVO

As a way to promote My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, KanYe West and Hype Williams link up to create a 35-minute short film based on the album and KanYe's mind thought on today's social issues. The video premiered The video features song samples from Ye's album and has very little dialog. Despite the complex visuals and little dialog, the message that KanYe is trying to depict is very clear. The concept revolves around KanYe and Pheonix, played by Victoria Secret Model Selita Ebanks, who crashes into Earth and KanYe tries to help adapt to life on Earth. KanYe touches on topics like the influence of media, racism, love, and acceptance. For an interesting take on the video, check out Untitled Hype. For the MTV and BET Q&A with KanYe about the video and his album, check out 2dopeboyz.

DREW's Note: I think this video is very dope. It's reminiscent of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker where MJ also touched on social topics though visuals and his music. Kanye and Hype did an amazing job on the video and Selita Ebanks is HOT! Can't believe she went out with Nick Cannon. Ha!
