"Stronger"
Kanye West
dir., Hype Williams
2007

The indulgence and eager-to-please excess is back from Mr. West. This video looks ridiculously expensive and everything you'd expect from a Diddy music video circa 1998. In a way that's a compliment, but animated mushroom clouds, a Daft Punk cameo, nightmarish hospital scenes, and Jeremy Scott sunglasses is all a bit much. I have a feeling if he doesn't win video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards he's going to throw a fit.

p.s., Cassie as a black Kate Moss? I think this video would have been stunning if Chanel Iman were in it.
And yes, that was a sorry excuse to post a photo of Miss Iman, but you know you love her.
