Many emcees grow tired of the same ol’ same ol’. Kanye West is no exception to that rule. And with the video for his lead single off of his highly anticipated sophomore album “Diamonds”, Kanye chose a brand new location to shoot.
“I’m on my way to ‘Pray-Goo,’ the capital of the ‘Shizeck’ Republic,” West joked to MTV, showcasing his diamond-studded bottom teeth before joining Hype Williams to shoot the video.
“I’m really into architecture and art, period,” he continued. “You get the sculptures, the cathedrals, the stone floors. It gives you a timeless feel, and we’re gonna shoot it in black and white. That look represented the music in ‘Diamonds.’ “
Kanye’s Late Registration is due out July 12th and features guest appearances from Jaime Foxx and Miri Ben-Ari among others.
