Kanye's New Rapperpiece "RUNAWAY"

BY VANGARDE GIRL NELLE, OCTOBER 25, 2010

I must say I love Kanye, then again I love anyone who is bringing something different to the table, something that invokes thought.  It's either you love or hate "Runaway".  I have yet to meet anyone with mixed feelings.  The video was directed by Kanye West, written by Hype Williams and fetures music from his upcoming album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".   RUNAWAY was definitely a fantasy.   The Phoenix who accidently falls on earth was played by Selita Ebanks.  Phoenix costume was designed by Phillip Lim.  I definitely saw a lot of symbolism in this piece as I did in the POWER video.  If you are lost and confused you probably know too much about one religion or era in history, broaden your horizons and you will be able to decipher the religious and mythological references in his recent works.  As I am sure there is more to come.
