Kanye West Secretly Dropped Another BOMB Video

in , ,

The Internet's going wild over Ye's latest video, but we discovered an alternate version.

Kanye West doesn’t do comebacks. He’s always in the spotlight, but this time, he's piped down his emo antics, allowing his talent to speak through his work. Judging by both Vultures’ tracklists, people don't realize that Ye is still the same homie, just a more expensive version. This is evident in his latest video, BOMB.

Ye got dem kids in the mix; shout out to North West Chicago (though Ye's from the South Side). Chicago's mean muggin' (1:52) reveals that Ye's immersed the music video in generative AI, which we didn't catch the first time. What's most intriguing is how YouTuber Yuno Miles (no, we didn’t “know” Miles until Kanye West), a SoundCloud rapper named Miles Wahlberg, merges his identity with Ye's. For real, though, Miles dons an all-black leather ensemble despite being recognized for goofy hoodies. That's a Ye move.

We noticed a more animated version of the BOMB video via Yuno Miles' YouTube channel, amidst the hype surrounding Ye's drop. It's better, come to think of it. No, Miles isn't a rapper we're adding to our playlist, but the visual storytelling for his version is stronger. Ye’s rendition heavily draws inspiration from Mad Max, while Miles’ version resembles a fever dream, an outlandish video game conceived in Ye’s multilayered brain. Of course, Miles' version isn't going to gain the same traction, but if Ye had swapped the visuals, it probably would've blown up our feed.

Kanye is in his create-and-deploy era. The rapper-producer's been steadily dropping bombs (pun!) with Vultures 1 and 2, respectively—as part of the rap supergroup ¥$—with Vultures 3 expected to land at any moment. The reports are crazy: He is a clone (yawn), his teeth are platinum grills, and he’s currently in Saudi Arabia finalizing his eleventh studio album, Bully. Nah, we don't think so. However, according to Arab News, he is in Tokyo, "residing in a hotel while producing the album."

Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, well into his 80s, shot the Bully album cover, which Ye teased on IG. You dun know, the art world is all over that, drawing references to custom Japanese traditions; bruh, when looking at the image, we see Chi-town realness (but maybe its interpretation is heterogeneous).

As of this posting, the only confirmed track is Beauty and the Beast; everything else is speculation.

More to come.

Kanye West Releases Mad Max-themed Music Video for BOMB

in ,

The rapper goes hard with the latest music video featuring his daughters, North and Chicago West. 

Posting random music videos isn't about to become a thing on this blog. It's late; you're on your way to bed but can't help yourself. Sometimes, a piece of art is worth mentioning. In this instance, Ye, short for Kanye, one of hip-hop's most controversial figures, unveils a music video that ignites the blogosphere. The song is from his album, Vultures.

We all know North has game. Looking’ all scared and ish. But she’s come through as the coolest member of the West family. Cooler than Ye himself. Now, we’ve got a feisty Chicago gunnin’ for the top spot, like she runs the show.

They didn’t get all this swag and black girl attitude from their mom. I mean, that’s not a question. But the juice they have spilt over from the former Louis Vuitton Don turned megastar. Kim was kinda annoying, actually.

Back to business.

Over the past few months, the rapper has steadily focused on releasing tracks from Vultures. I’m not up to speed yet, but I haven’t seen anything from his new album, Bully. When I’m awake,, I’ll take a closer look.

Knowing, Ye, though, you never know. He is an unconventional thinker, after all.

More to come.
