Video of the Day #7: Kanye West – Welcome to Heartbreak

By Phil Singer on Wednesday, 18th February 2009 at 2:30 pm

So many good videos out there that we’re doubling up today and tomorrow so we can feature everything we want too.

Not normally a huge fan of rappers. Kanye West has long been a critics favourite, however I’ve never been a big fan. Then he released 808′s and Heartbreak, which I downloaded in the hope I’d like it. I fell in love with it.

Love Lockdown? Amazing. Now he’s got a new video for forthcoming single, Welcome to Heartbreak. Slightly bizarre to watch, it’s a feast of video editing techniques, and quite great to put it lightly. It’s directed by Nabil Elderkin – watch and enjoy below.
