Video stills and previews of Kanye West’s “Monster” have been floating around on the Internet for weeks, with rumors that the all-star posse cut would debut around New Year’s Day. The clearly unfinished version, which leaked today, features zombie cannibals, waifish females lynched with chains and Kanye with a few corpses and a severed head.
The nearly six minute long clip was directed by Jake Nava, who has been behind the camera for Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” Usher’s “Burn” and “Milkshake” by Kelis.
The corpses will likely provide more Internet comment fodder for conspiracy theorists that have been trying to link West and Jay-Z with the Illuminati since the “Run This Town” video premiered. Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z are featured in more subdued scenes, with Nicki being tortured and seduced by her Barbie twin. Jay opts for a less dramatic performance in front of a lifeless body on a couch. And true to form, Ross’ brief intro is more of a cameo than an actual performance.
Does “Monster” follow West pattern of performance art videos such as “Power” and “Runaway?” Or has he “crossed the line?” Does the visual representation match up to DX’s “Collaboration of the Year?” Watch the video before it gets removed from YouTube and decide for yourselves in the “Comments” section
I JUST SEE A BEAUTIFUL VID BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WILL COMPARE THEM 2 ILLUMINATI!!!!!
JST TAKE A MOMENT AND THNK OUTSIDE THE BOX 4 MINUTE COS MOST VIDS THESE DAYS ARE BOUT BITCHES SHAKIN THEIR ASSES IN THE CLUB!!!!
THIS IS DEFINATELY SMETHIN DIFFERENT PLUS THA SONG IS CALLED MONSTER, SO FITS THE VISUAL DESCRIPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imma say this right now…. a lot of people are hating on Kanye West and not calling it a hip hop album….. WTF??? Ghostface Killah’s album was critically acclaimed and you assholes still think that’s not good enough? Did you even listen to the album? I loved them both. God, some people really become really extremist when it comes to deciding what is hip hop and what is not. So what if it went over girls… the lyrics are outstanding.
agreed…just because it may have attracted the mainstream audience doesn’t mean it’s bad…hip hop fans are too critical sometimes
classic video — Ye is ruling hip hop right now
that shit was weird as fuck.
reminded me of Eminem’s 3AM
Its going to be special effect enhancements on the artists, I believe Ye’s eyes go white or silver in the initial preview, Jay’s eyes will probably go red behind the glasses… Don’t know what they doing with Nicki…
power video….
reminded me of MJ’s thriller…..
LUPE FIASCO IS THE GOAT….
Cue the illuminati rumours lol
in terms of jigga man, if you read decoded he talks about the process that he goes through when recording his album. He clearly states that he does 2 things when recording his album from beginning till the end: wear his jesus piece and he doesnt cut his hair. Why the fuck would a devil worshiper need to wear his jesus piece, or even mention that he wears it?
jesus piece is another term of sayin that its no value its a piece of jewelry… when “hova” did that jesus piece trend it was an insult cause its not suppose to be a trend nor wear a jesus piece and make it fashionable
Wow… um… lets see. If your mom died from being hit with a bat. You wouldnt wear a bat on your neck to symbolize your moms death.
THAT GIRLS WHO PLAYING WITH ROPES ARE CREEPIN’
it was a great song nd vid until nicki’s ugly wack ass jumped on….. she fuckin sucks nd shes so weird her voice is annoying like lil wayne
ok im going to post a serious comment for once.
kanye waas the shit when he 1st came on the scene, he still the shit now, but i cant believe how much he’s changed!
i swear i would never have gotten into his music if he was originally this weird and freaky.
no disrespect or nothing, but his hole game has changed since his mom died, i dont know how it affected him or if his mom used to prevent him from making weird shit like this when she was alive.
i understand hes ‘doing something different’, but that doesn’t necessarily mean what he does is good.
i know it will never happen, but i wish he would either stop making wacko shit like this, or the music channels choose not to show it……he has now officially turned tooo weird
(also it was interesting how now dead people were shown around any of the artists except kanye, i wonder if they chose not to be shown alongside ‘dead’ people)
they killed his mom to crush him down then they control him easy.same with proof and em
when people close to you die, you change. this shit it weird it’s visually amazing
MEET THE HOLY TRINITY
IN THE NAME…
OF THE FATHER…
THE SON…
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

GET YALL BLESSINGS WHILE IT LASTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kanye album was great i definately will say its tied for the best album along with eminem’s recovery. I’m a kanye fan and no i don’t believe in the illuminati but if u say this video don’t look suspect meaning evil and super demonic, either your an idiot or you are delusional as hell and in denial
DONT BELIEVE IN ILLUMINATI HAHA THEN WHO PUTS FLOURIDE IN YOUR WATER.GOD?
the song’s fuckin called “monster”, MONSTER. there’s probably gunna be some fuckin spooky shit and if you can’t take it put on your clean version of any soulja boy song and skip to sunday school
@Albert
nobody said that was ‘spooky’ or scary you dumb ass nigga. people said it was weird and freaky.
illiterate ass coon
@WTF He means the same fking thing you dumb piece of shit. Anyways its called MONSTER you idiots, what did you expect the video to be like?
@ Albert i never said i was scared and yeah i did expect it to be somewhat creepy but not look demonic as hell like that. for example MJ’s Thriller was cold and creepy but his video wasn’t so damn suspect and looked so evil. Kanye’s video looks so suspect and evil as hell like he worship satan or some shit. If you don’t think so either you on kanye’s dick to hard or in denial point blank. And i’m big kanye fan at that so hop off with that soulja boy shit i don’t fuck with him if it ain’t 50 cent,ludacris,lloyd banks, raekwon,wu-tang,max-b,webbie and boosie,common,kanye,clipse,jay-z,eminem,q-tip,rick ross,t.i.,cam’ron, the old wayne 99-2007 wayne, and old school shit like kool g rap rakim eazy-e ice cube snoop and dre i ain’t fuckin with it so lose the bullshit thinkin i’m a typical teenager who listen to dat soulja boy and young money shit
@ ASGAZE Naw bro like ok it may be a super wealthy society lurking. Old people done told me they think its an powerful crew that influence the government and everything. But i don’t believe they are called the illuminati like c’mon!!! in e lovers voice if its so secret how the fuck regular people like you and me know the name explain that. I do believe to an extent that it is an secret powerful group but some shit people be going overboard.
make sure soon that u go to vigilantcitizen.com for breakdown of this video
that video should stay as is. it’s hot.
that was fuckin sick, the fianl product will be dope. kanye’s a beast, nicki’s sex, jay’s incredible, ross is fat
hahahahaha
LMAO
SOB. They already removed it -_-
The visuals for this are sick! The official video will be better. I seen this Kanye “Monster” inspired artwork collection all over tumblr (http://vimeo.com/17785734)Jay-z would’ve been dope if he resembled the artwork.

Your welcome.
youtube – watch?v=gWMERflYYoo

Thank me later….lol

People the above link is not kanye monster video
MTV should leave this alone and not edit it the same way they play those hardrock videos with blood,gore and satanic images. This is a work of art.
why the fuck would i want to watch a unfinished music video. who cares about this
um.. cause there version of “unfinished” is ten times better than your finished product. No that I liked the video at all. Felt it was too Evil-ish
Video is gonna be hard when the full version drops
Be apart of something greater
Have you heard of Rockstar Muzik

what about the girl on the couch behind jay-z
i don’t think that Kanye is getting weird, i just think that he is actually taking the time to improve his art and evolve. It only seems like its weird because that is something that people put in the air, i mean if no one ever said that Kanye was apart of Illuminati would people even say half the shit they do? I think people just don’t know how to take the progression of Kayne because they have wack ass people in hip hop who do bother to take their shit to the next level, and we become side blinded by those who do, and we don’t know how to respond to it because we are so used to just seeing people that are just famous…not necessarily people that are actually great like Kayne.
….so did you even watch the whole video? rick ross had three people hanging and jay-z had a dead body on the couch behind him….
nevertheless this video was okay i just expected something greater but with that said it was leaked so i guess its a work in progress.
shit is garbage
KANYE WEST IS EVIL!!! HES GONNA BURN BABY BURN

********** What’s wrong with you? A post like this REALLY shows a sign of DIAGNOSED psychotic behavior. Your post suggests that there is ONLY TWO options… Kanye or Young Money…like there’s not a whole WORLD of rap talent? If you like this video, thats got NOTHING to do with Young Money though… Thats means that YOU PERSONALLY hate Young Money THAT MUCH, huh? You gonna be in the super market like, “WOOW. Thats a really low price. Thats better than YOUNG MONEY”? Or at the restaurant like, “Yo this food is GOOD! This food >>>>>> Young Money” ? HUH? LMBO C’Mon Son! ***********
at fake talk, cum money iz wack az shit man. bunch of cornballz singin gay anthemz in autotune. and diz iz bout muzik, bitch! of course i’m not gon say dat food iz betta than cum money. wut a stupid azz thing 2 say. diz iz bout hip hop and u just mad dat kanye’z unfinished monster video iz full of win and all cum money/fag money videoz r epic failz. shut da fuck up and watch dat shit again faggot. u don’t c kanye carryin pink pursez like lil gayne did in 1 of hiz videoz.

I took nicki’s verse and made a butt cheeks version of the song
