Here’s the new video from Kanye West for “Power”, the first single from his upcoming fifth album. In an interview with NY Mag’s Vulture, Marco Brambilla, the video’s creator, calls it a “video portrait”.
“It starts with a very tight shot introducing him that’s kind of a reinvention of a neoclassical painting. It pulls back from the shot, without any cuts, and we reveal the video canvas, populated by all these characters who are depicted in various stages of undress and decadence. The iconography comes from Roman iconography, Renaissance iconography, and it connects to the sexuality of the music as well. As we reveal the setting for it, there’s a feeling of a moment of transition for him. A fall from grace, if you will. It visualizes power, and him as the icon as power, and then at the end of the piece it challenges the power that I set up at the beginning. It’s an elliptical piece of storytelling.
Kanye’s new album is set for release October 12.

Agreed.
Some of these people on this board are sooo asleep it’s sad I suggest that you do some research on the subject, Illuminati is nothing new just new to some who don’t know.
The Video is plain as day
“The one who cannot see that on Earth a big endeavor is taking place,
an important plan, on which realization we are allowed to collaborate
as faithful servants, certainly has to be blind”

The video is gay. Is Kanye the first gay rapper and his servants and worshippers too blind to see it?

The Sistine Chapel was not “holy” you idiot, nor is this video depicting the Sistine Chapel at all lol. The Sistine Chapel was created by a known pedophile, Michelangelo, under the orders of Pope Julius, who was a h*mosexual himself. To those without understanding; the Sistine Chapel shows “God” bringing “Adam” to life, but in actuality the imagery on the Sistine Chapel ceiling depicts the moment that Satan touched Adam with the “divine spark”. This is why Steven Spielberg used that same image in one of the promotional posters for his film, E.T., and that was the point of E.T.’s “glowing finger” but that is another topic. When you study the white man’s Renaissance, all of those “artists” were pedophiles, h*mosexuals, occultic, and were used as pawns to breakdown the esteem that the scriptures were held in. They were the “directors” and “entertainers” of their time. Why do you think they made the statue of David as a naked young boy, and Moses with devil horns? The so-called “Last Supper” painting by Da Vinci, another pedophile, had one of the twelve apostles as a woman. Before you call someone a “fool”, know what the hell you’re talking about….
Some comments are just wow…RD, really? You’d swear that JUDAH was Jesus Christ the way you look to him for knowledge.
JUDAH, really?!…Junk is junk, no matter how you phrase it, and what you’re spewing is junk.
What Power do Kanye really have? and this goes for Beyonce, Jay-Z, lil Wayne, Will Smith and Family, Directors and Actors!
The only so called “Power” that these people have is what their peers simply give them!
The only one I fear is My Heavenly Father, and that’s the beginning of Wisdom!
To me it’s just a Freakin Video, I don’t care who’s worshiping Satan or who’s a part of the Illuminati, hell for all I know the man who makes the pizza down the street could be worshiping Satan or the lady who I take my dry cleaning too, or the owner of the Grocery store that i shop at or the young lady that does my hair, who knows and who the *UCK CARES!
like I said before at the End there shall be Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth! that should be what people are focused on, not Kanye!
Interesting,am very open minded,LOVE THE GAYs. However, i think Kanye need more time in the backseat and EAT MORE HUMBLE PIE,People have not forgoten what you did to Taylor,so POWER my neighbors FAT STICKY DIRTY MONEY 90 year old cow shit balloon.
Wow…where do I start with the symbolism of this video…I must say it is interesting to view. He seem to have deliberately went the “mock the Illuminati lover’s ” route. He know’s what he’s doing. lol
