← Back | Musician | 2 Music Videos
Kanye West, a musical maestro, catalyzed change in the industry with his innovative alignment of sounds, lyrics, and visuals. Known for challenging the status quo, West brought an artistic edge and depth to the way music videos were created. His audacious spirit and risk-taking inclination, for instance, were at the forefront in the video "Touch The Sky", wherein he humorously portrayed himself as Evel Kanyevel, a play on the famous stuntman. A look through his portfolio reveals his perpetual eagerness to blend various art forms into cohesive masterpieces.
In "Runaway," West crafted a 35-minute short film that bared his soul and pushed the envelope of what a music video could be, moving away from the typical 3-minute format. Similarly, his highly provocative "Famous" video garnered attention worldwide for its use of lifelike wax replicas of celebrities. Yet, in contrast, his "Good Morning" video depicted a cartoon bear traversing around a simple animated universe. The simplicity of the concept didn't lessen the magnitude of the message. However, my absolute favorite has to be the video of "Bound 2". Riding a motorcycle with Kim Kardashian, the genius 'Ye creates a visually stunning piece rich with symbolic metaphor, America's cliched landscapes and ironically funny rhythm - even if unintentional. With each new video, Kanye West forever shifted boundaries and broke molds, which is a testament to his dynamic mastery and finely tuned artistry.
