    Released yesterday, this is Kanye West's new music video, featuring songs from his new album.

    Yes, it's a half-hour long, but it's definitely worth it.

    If you'll look in the comments of the video, there are basically two different critiques posted. Some people praise the music video for it's imagery, metaphors, and depth, while others say the video had no substance and was all just pictures and nonsense.

    To me, this video had substance. It compared anyone who is different to a phoenix, which some people didn't get. It complained that the world did not accept difference, and tried to change anything that wasn't the same as everything else. It told how, actually, we're all runaways, from our problems, pain, heartbreak, etc. And it showed that America isn't all it's cracked up to be, something I thoroughly agree with. A lot of these concepts may have gone right over people's heads, or maybe they aren't their at all and I'm just reading into it too much. I know from being a fan of Kanye for a while that he can be deep as crap when he wants to be, and I personally think now is one of those times.

    What do you all think?
