Directed, written, and starring Chicago MC, the 35-minute film also features model Selita Ebanks as the Phoenix, Nicki Minaj’s British accent, a theme of discrimination, and a soundtrack with nine songs off My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, all done an avant-garde style that’s, well, totally Kanye.
View for yourself above, then pick up My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy — which maybe features 12 13-14 tracks — on November 22nd via Def Jam. Also, in case you missed it, check out this week’s G.O.O.D. Friday offering, the Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, and Big Sean-featuring “Don’t Look Back“.
