Video Of The Year: "Runaway" (As Fast As You Can)

If there is 1 light still burning bright in the Rap world, it is Kanye, I love how he keeps pushing the medium of the music video.

NO i didn't realize she is a bird, ha....



I do love me some interpretative ballet!

(I am pissed how the cameraman didn't get the shot framed right, so a lot of times you can't see all of the dancer's legs/feet & body in the shot. Almost perfect thou.)

This is my favorite version of this video, since it has the kick ass Ballet in it (yes I called Ballet, KICK ASS)

Baby I got a plan.... runaway as fast as you can!

Hands down, the best video, produced this year, wonder how Lady Gaga will respond?

Full version of Runaway is here.

Also, Kanye brought out the dancers when he performed this song on the MTV Video Music Awards (shout out to my 1st girlfriend who turned me on to modern dance/ballet)




 Which by the way is my favorite version of this song, he ups the Hip Hop sound of the song, and plus he made everyone think that it was about his "imma let you finish moment", but really it was about him and his big ego.

Ohh and just in case you doubt how awesome he is, there will always be this, to cement his place as the man.



There has been NO. COMPETITION. Ironically he will probably win Video of the Year next year, at the VMA's for this song.

Runaway (MTV VMA version, with vocals amped up ;)

I'll always love British Radio

This is why British Radio, and specifically Radio 1 will always be better than American Radio.

NPR cannot hold a torch to performances like this. NPR gets Janelle Monae, Radio 1 gets, Magnetic Man



The girl singing here in the video is Katy B, who is currently blowing up in England.

Oh and don't forget the OFFICIAL start of the WSUM weekend starts Thursday nights @ 10PM on WSUM 91.7FM

Great radio, live and direct here in Good ole Madison.
