scarf


"can't tell me nothing"
kanye west
dir. hype williams
2007

this song is extremely underwhelming and the video is limp on style and execution, but i will say i love that scarf he's wearing in the video. the summer scarf and t-shirt look on men can be a tricky combo but mr. west once again proves he is hip-hop's true dandy. i bet it's either louis vuitton or gucci.

don't worry kids, this isn't the lead single from the much anticipated "graduation" album, but a single from a mixtape to promote the album that doesn't come out until early fall. thank you wikipedia.

i'm not wild about this video, but i appreciate it. it's still very hype williams but his style has calmed down a lot; i like how many of the shots linger on the same image even though the song itself shifts from verse to chorus, or vice versa. it makes the whole thing look like a dream of a hype video instead of an actual hype product.

and yeah, dig the fashion. i've been doing that quite a bit myself lately.
