Kanye West – Paranoid (Final Version)

by Staff, June 3, 2009

Here’s the final cut for Kanye’s hit single, “Paranoid” The video features Rihanna as the focal point of paranoia with Kanye West appearing as the voice of reason. In a world where music videos lack omnipresence, Kanye made clear he wanted this video to be very special, and video director Nabil Elderkin was able to bring his vision to light. Check it out.

    god, another shitty song. The video is interesting, as well as the beat. He should just hand his beats to artists that aren’t retarded.

    Kanye is everywhere, Walking on the Moon video last week, Spaceship and Paranoid videos this week, and the Kinda Like A Big Deal video coming soon. Can’t wait for Kinda Like A Big Deal.

    I like it. Much better than the other version. HOWEVER, if I was Rhianna, I don’t know if I’d have been in a video called “paranoid” where I had to look crazy so close to the trial. Just my opinion.

    I don’t like Rihanna’s Elvis Presley poses.

    Rihanna looks great. Video’s cool. Reminds me of Sin City a little bit.

    Nice…. very different to anything that I have seen lately, let the hate begin.

    SMH he did it again, this video is art in itself, he gave it that michael jackson in Thriller feel, i miss old school videos like this.

    oh and the video is dope!!

  26. Posted by:DreadBx on June 3, 2009 at 12:10 pm

    Straight trash, video is better muted.

  27. Posted by:bikesnob on June 3, 2009 at 12:10 pm

    That was by far one of the most interesting videos that I have seen in a while. I love the Hitchcock style suspense vibe. Very beautifully made.
