Kanye West “Heartless” Video

by Staff, November 7, 2008

With the Hype Williams at the directorial helm once again, Kanye West’s latest music video for his hit Heartless once again pushes the envelope for music videos. The video demonstrates an eerie life-like animated sequence over a number of visually stunning backdrops.

    He’s getting worse! The music sounds so cheap, just in the middle of the mainstream, that’s not worthy of such a producer. The videoclip looks like a mix of the Apple advertise and the So-Me graphics. Definitly not that FRESh!

    Wicked video! I’m not hating, but this auto-tune shit has got to go.

    Man I have so much respect for Ye, but I getting so sick of these stupid auto-tune songs.

    Kayne’s talent is rapping not singing, he should stick to it.

    I’m not really into this whole auto-tune sound, but this is the only song i have been able to put up with. The video is amazing nonetheless…

    The smoking seems a little superficial, but I understand that this song is about stress and heartbrokenness. Awesome video, nonetheless.

    awesome video! i really feel like watching the videos makes understand the music he is putting out now… i also like the KAWS paintings that are in the video (of th e jetsons) that kanye really has at his house!…a painting within a ‘painting’

    The video is great, but I don’t like the fact that his cartoon self is smoking in the vid…. That is my only hangup on this vid other then that it’s great!

    This video is dope, it reminds me of the animation of Cool World, that movie with the cartoonist that got pulled into his comic.

    This guy is incredible. I mean he has completely transcended hip hop while still being a rapper. Nice work Kanye.
