Animated hip hop video may pave way for future

Published: February 9, 2009

I can’t remember the last time I went on the internet to watch a music video. Most of them are filled with sex, drugs and bad language. But while browsing VH1’s Top 20 videos, I came across Kanye West’s “Heartless,” which came in at #10. His video changed the way I look at music videos – for now.

It is anything but ordinary; the whole video is animated. I think it’s just cool to imagine how they made it; it’s so realistic, yet simple. The way the cartoon version of Kanye dances and moves is realistic to the way the real Kanye does.

As for the song, it has a very mellow, yet catchy beat. Kanye writes all his own songs, which many people don’t know. I hope this song’s video changes future music videos and opens people’s eyes to being more creative in their creations.
