NE Recap: Runaway - Kanye West [Short Film]



Now....this week's NE Recap is for the short film that changed the game; "Runaway" by Kanye West. With "Runaway", Kanye did something no Hip Hop artist had done before. Kanye was playing when he said "The rapper compared to Michael (Jackson)...", being that it's inspired by Michael Jackson's Thriller and Prince's Purple Rain Runaway is a love story between a man and half women-half phoenix. Also, it was a way Ye could preview songs from his 4th album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The film starts model Selita Ebanks as the half women-half phoenix and Kanye as Griffin. It's definitely good to look back on this film and appreciate what I did for Hip Hop. If you haven't seen this, something has to be done. All you have to do is play right above.
