Kanye’s “Power” and Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie” Videos Premiere Today

Director Marco Brambilla explains how he came up with the concept for Kanye West’s overly ambitious music video “Power” which premieres tonight at 9 PM on MTV.

“Power” merges digitized animation, paranormal visual effects, soft porn and other nonsensical scenes of orgasmic milieu that you would expect to find in the crevices of Kanye’s disturbed mind.

Is there anything that Kanye can conceive that shocks us anymore?

Eminem’s music video for “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna, will also premiere tonight on MTV.

Here’s what Eminem had to say on working with Rihanna and the video director Joseph Khan:

“Joseph and I worked pretty closely together to make sure we got this right. Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge. It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this….they really brought it and made this video super-powerful.”

The video premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT. Will you be watching?

Kanye and Em actually have FANS, that watch and buy they chit.

OTB, what was that website that you gave Flo a few days ago about fashion? My closet and I are in desperate need of a major overhaul.

**********************************

I found over 20 images of straight up porn in Kanye’s video. I couldn’t even post the more racier images. I guess MTV approved it because the couples engaging in acts of porn were all considered safe?
kearalove

@Auntie,
I think Ciara’s lyrics also caused her to be banned. Just hearing the song on the radio, you can catch the innuendo, but to SEE the vid, forces you to know what she’s talking about.

Oh, and Ciara ain’t nearly as relevant as Yeezy, esp. to YT people.

I’m a Kanye fan but lately I feel like he’s trying too hard to be different…you’re different just like everyone else

@keara fashionbombdaily. com and probably shopstyle . com

On shop style we love to look at the Style Books of the regular folk. Fashion bomb is more urban and the commentors are just plain nasty and maybe even a little bit tacky but the blog owner is super cute and cool…and she posts stuff, even if its not her style, without all the negative chit.

@Civil its a lot of “fashion sites” out there! A girl has to be selective!

Hey Laker bay-bay!

@cinderella shame on you for keeping a gem like that secret! In my googling escapades I have often popped up on somebody’s lookbook thing-y but I never knew there was a whole site!

I like Em but I’m not sure if people really listen to the lyrics to that song. I’m starting to think I’m the only one that interprets it the way I do………………………………………….

@Awesome Arsenal….u are not alone :hugs:
Al-Ameera

@ Snooty, Rih 5’10?

We met her in the airport on our way to Jamaica and she is small and petit. Maybe 5’5 at best
pinksghetti

Awesome Arsenal, I kinda see what you mean. I pay attention to lyrics more than anything else. The surprising thing is that Rihanna agreed to be on this song because, unless there is a different meaning to it the song is about physical abuse between a couple.

@otb hey u sexy bish how u doing honey????

@Al-Ameera…I would love to meet Rhianna in person. What was she like?
I have a friend that looks so much like her and she’s also from Barbados.
AWESOME ARSENAL

@pinksghetti
Yeah the song is about mutual domestic abuse but it doesn’t really address the woman other than her volitile temper. He (the man) beats the woman and feels remorse for it, they get over it. He beats her again and again and only feels any remorse when it gets to the point that it seems she will leave. He talks the girl back into coming back and ends the song saying that if she tries to leave again, he’ll kill her. great song right? Am I wrong?

What in the threesome heck is that pic?

Kanye has issues these days. He’s very talented and I love his music but his attitude lately has been a turnoff and it makes me not want to support anything else he comes out with.
