cELLO 53,482 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 This was one of my least favourite Kanye albums for the longest time but I recently revisited it and wow. I admit I was sleeping on this, it's genius. The dark, almost sparse instrumentals and the desperation in some of the lyrics. I'm totally in love with the percussion styles, mixed usually only with either piano or synth, so simple but gorgeous. Favourite tracks: Welcome to Heartbreak, Love Lockdown, Paranoid, Street Lights and Coldest Winter Anyone else a fan of this album? do i need to understand a pineapple to eat a banana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanxjensen 134 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I remember there were 2 videos for 'Paranoid', it was hyped up as the very first thing Rihanna did after her incident with Chris Brown, the first video leaked; it was AMAZING, then it was taken down, revamped, watered down and re-released, only recently the first video made its way back online, if I can find a way to link it..

Rihanna is serving in that video, I wonder whether he ever made another version of Paranoid with Rih featured? do i need to understand a pineapple to eat a banana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanxjensen 134 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 this is what was released as the 'official' video! they re-arranged the original footage & added a bunch of visual f/x. This one took away the charm and mystery of the original in my opinion.. they also removed the footage of her dancing solo in the white dress which killed it for me lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
