Consequence feat. John Legend & Kanye West – Whatever You Want (Video)

by Staff, September 29, 2009

Consequence drops his new video for the track “Whatever You Want”. Featured are both R&B crooner John Legend and Kanye West. The video also features directing by the legendary Hype Williams, although it remains quite tame in style. Definitely a nice piece, and we’ll let it finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.

    wow, it’s like the video’s of the 90’s with no narrative and scantily clad birds draping themselves over the artist never happened. Song was mediocre to say the least.

    hahaha at the comments. The quality is shit and the frame rate looks bad as well. I like Consequence’s music but this looks like he’s trying too hard and the production is whack. They should have not put this out.

    Video is poop. Lyrics are poop. Since when did this material pass for hip-hop? Oh wait, it doesn’t. What happened to hip-hop artists being the modern day poets; locking them selves in a “lab” or finding inspiration from their environment to produce meaningful music? In the words of Bob Dylan, “And the times they are a changin.”

    @Nickfreakhommie

    Lol Hypebeast doesn’t just post street wear. Kanye West doesn’t only wear streetwear. The dude is more of a luxury/designer brands kind of guy. Dude does advertisements for companies because the owners Nigo, KAWS, and others are his homies or he is just collaborating with them because they want to. Although he did what he did to Taylor and judging by all the bad press and loss of fans I highly doubt Kanye will do it again. Yeah he has always been a jackass but like most other top rappers (yes he is a critically acclaimed artist) thats just how they are.

    You can’t say he is untalented when it comes to music. His style is his style but yeah many other people can agree that Kanye when it comes to style and fashion he is up to date and one of the people who push, start, or bring back trends. Plus many kids tend to follow him when it comes to clothes. There are many others who have better style than him but he is one of the people with a good idea on how to dress today. Your opinion is yours but you need to back it up more better if you wanna have a good point.

    Everybody fucks up. If people see this dude as a role model than thats them. He apologized and its better to just move on and just get rid of the hate. Just forget and move on. Don’t get all butt hurt because 1. It happened on MTV 2. Mostly teenage girls vote at those type of awards 3. It wasn’t a big deal. It just happened to Taylor Swift.

    consequence is a good rapper but he needs to learn how to hold a song by himself and stop putting his label mates on every hot track

    This is seriously one of the worst music videos i have ever seen. So many awkward poorly timed shots.

    The styling of the girls is horrible, their make-up is done VERY poorly.

    The editing is horrid, so many shots are in between shots that you can see the talent was not in character or was dropping character at the last half second of the clip.

    This is an embarrassment, I cant believe any of these peoples managers let this video see the light of day

    that was really terrible to watch, consequence has great lyriscm than that crap he’s rapping.

    When Taylor Swift was interrupted at VMA, It is a time for us to know who Kanye West is. I should ask people who like street wear. Is he real talented for us to follow his fashion fads?
    Actually. he is free ads celebrity for company like OF, Clot to get some kinda propaganda. Kanye is just a commerical toy for Asian street wear industry. He is not talented for us to follow whatever his music or fashion especially when you watch the video, you can see what a jackass he was is and will be.

    This is a hit. The beat sounds like something Ryan Leslie would make and Consequence looks like Donald duck though lol.
