After a really poor looking version dropped about a week ago (which some people still found hot), Kanye has now released the official video for Paranoid off of 808s and Heartbreak.
Starring Rihanna, the video seems to draw from old horror movies like Alfred Hitchcock's from the 50s and 60s. Really well done if you ask me.

Really? I felt like it was trying to re-create the trailer of Sin City. But it def had some tones of the 50's style flicks now that I think about it. The ending also reminded me of Foo Fighter's 'Everlong' video. All and all I'm not that impressed with the video. Now as for Rihana... I stay impressed.
ReplyDeleteTrue, I do see the Sin City influence now that you mention it, but it just looked way more old school to me wit the transparent Kanye coming in and out of the screen. You know the "special effects" from back in the day.
