Coldest Winter is one of the best tracks off Kanye´s 808s and Heartbreak and the accompanying music video is equally great.
The video is directed by Nabil Elderkin.
Watch the video for Coldest Winter by Kanye West below:

KANYE WEST “Coldest Winter”

This is Kanye´s favorite track off Jay-Z´s Blueprint 3 album.
Love to listen to Alicia Keys sing about New York! Great track.

Great execution, but I´m not so sure if turning this song into preteen love angst is such a good idea.

Watch the video for Heartless by The Fray below:

It seems this is the Kanye West approved version of Paranoid.

Update from Kanye West:
IT HURTS ME TO SEE THE OLD AND VERY WRONG VERSION OF THE PARANOID VIDEO GET LEAKED ALL OVER THE NET WHILE I WAS ON AN 11 HR FLIGHT AND COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT’S JUST FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS BECAUSE I REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SINCE VIDEOS NEVER GET PLAYED ANY WAY YOU MIGHT AS WELL TWEAK THEM AND MAKE THEM AS SPECIAL AS POSSIBLE. THE VERSION THAT GOT LEAKED FROM THE CAMERA PHONE LAST WEEK IS AT LEAST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FINAL PRODUCT. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT BUT THAT VIDEO WAS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS. HERE’S SOME SCREEN SHOTS FROM THE REAL VIDEO
———

Rihanna has no singing part in this video. She´s simply an object.
And the video is plain eye candy.

But hey, Kanye doesn´t read books, so that explains the certain level of intellectual unsophistication.

Watch the video for Paranoid by Kanye West below:

The track samples George Michael´s Careless Whisper.
It´s produced by DemJointz.
I hate they don´t even mention the name of the female singer.

Listen to Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T.I., Jay-Z – U Ain’t Neva Gottz Ask below:

So here´s the artist Kanye West compares to Frank Sinatra and says he´s to become the biggest artist in the world. Kanye is talking about British musician Mr Hudson who´s signed onto Kanye’s G.O.O.D. music label. Here´s his first single Supernova featuring (of course) auto-tuned Kanye West.

Steve Aoki totally reworks N.A.S.A.´s Gifted. The remix starts heavy with Kanye´s part and takes a breath with Lykke Li and Santigold. Listen to N.A.S.A. – Gifted (Steve Aoki Remix) below:

Here´s the new Kanye West video Amazing, directed by Hype Williams. The video was shot in Hawaii. For a second I thought Kanye West was making an environmental statement, reminding us that we have only 12 years to stop climate change. But no, it´s just that he likes Hawaii.

Anyway, watch the video for Amazing below, the locations are beautiful:

Indie band The Fray covers Kanye West´s Heartless wonderfully with lot of emotion and good singing. This one was all over the blogs about a month ago and now Kanye himself found it and posted the cover on his blog.
