Kanye West "Power" Video

If you never heard of Mr. West then you must be living under a rock! Kanye started his career as a humble man with a great sense of morals and values, but now he is merely the man that many love to hate! Either way, you can't say that he is absent from your mind.

Kanye West is finally back from his self dismissal from the public eye and he didn't come back empty handed! Releasing a new hit single entitled "Power" upon his return; he also made his first major public appearance at the BET Awards Show in late June.

After regaining his buzz with his song he decided to put out a video, but it leaves many confused! Has the man who was at one time known to be a church boy from the Chi blatantly promoting his connections with the Illuminati.....I don't know, but you can judge for yourself!





I can't say that the video was bad nor good, but I can tell you how I feel about it! First off, the Illuminati symbolism is evident from the decapitation at the end of the video to the image of duality by the video's symmetry! Yet, I am choosing to not give a detailed analysis based off of it's symbolism because this is about the video--NOT THE ILLUMINATI OR FREE MASONRY!

I feel the video had more of a "creepy" vibe rather than an image of power, but then again it depends on what you perceive power to be prior to seeing the video or trying to understand the message of the song's lyrics itself. I believe that the video leaves many confused due to lack of knowledge on the listeners part!

Aside from all of that, I must say the video is artistic and unique! Do I like the video? No! But that is just my opinion! What is yours?
