VIDEO: KANYE WEST - “CHAMPION”
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Here is the official video for Kanye West’s “Champion,” off his third studio album, Graduation. Remember that show ‘Crank Yankers’? It kind of reminds me of that. The video directed by Neon.

Kanye you are always out-doing yourself. This video is so cute, innovative, and inspiring. A lot of these rap cats need to follow your lead when it comes to having artistic visions when it comes to videos. Champion is my favorite song on the CD, the timing is perfect with the Olympic theme.

I am loving Kanye more now! What rapper today will allow a director to make a video WITHOUT them ALL UP IN THE VIDEO? Only Kanye, which is why in my book he is the best!
I love it! Very artistic. especially in this day and age.

Kanye is still ugly even as a stuffed animal. I guess the good thing about the stuffed animal doesnt open his mouth and isnt concieted and arrogant.

One of my favourite songs off the album and I’m glad he’s releasing it. He’s a creative genius and all his choons and videos are always killa. No wonder he runs on stage to demand why he didnt win an award. He knows he’s good.

This was done before. The video does not match the song. Who ever edited this didn’t do a good job at all. I couldn’t even watch it. He tried TOO HARD and it went to chicken…

i saw this on another site and i think kanye is so full of himself but….I LOVE HIM!!! lol i think the vid is cute and funny……..to see that puppet being all kanye like was hilarious…..if anybody should do videos for their whole album it shud be him,i would love to see vids to “drunk and hot girls” “i wonder” and “barry bonds”

Tuesday, August 12, 2008 /
@LOLO Yes he did. I knew someone else did it, I just couldn’t remember. It was done after Eminem did it and before Kanye. Videos are made to tell stories, at least that is what they were for in the beginning. But when the scenes are going slower than the song…. Unless my video was on CP time (shrug) He was trying to do too much.

Before I watched this video, I thought the puppets would make the video seem corny. I like the video. I think the puppets allow him to participate in the Olympic events that go around the theme of being a champion. I hope he release” I wonder” has his next single.
