    i think, it was just about his perception on himself.
    he knows how he is when he is acting like abitch, and it looks like he wants to kill that side of him, but all in all it’s apart of him.
    i think it was a work of art.

    The funny thing is, this was filmed way before the whole Taylor Swift incident.

    Also, that’s Mike Carroll not Steve Berra! YEESH, educate yourself.

    this video had to be filmed a long time ago when kanyes hair was longer so i doubt it has anything to do with recent messups

    That was terrible until the little bathroom scene at the end, but making a video about him killing a little gremlin thing that lives inside him isn’t gonna change shit about his ego

    Its true he is killing a part of himself, but it goes much further than just his ego. I went into a deeper analysis here: http://nicolasheller.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/1828/
    hopefully this comment wont be deleted and people will get a chance to see how I saw the film.

    i enjoyed the start and finish. he needs and needed to be ride of his inner demons (drinking addiction) i like it!.. all tho it was hard to relate because i choose not to drink

    i hated how spike shot kanyes close ups. and the sex scene was tasteless imo (maybe im bias because i dont feed into ye’s attention needs hah)

    also, i wonder when this was filmed because it comes at an odd point in kanye’s career what with him canceling his tour with lady gaga and his clothing line.
