Heartless from kwest on Vimeo.
Here's the cool looking video for Kanye West's "Heartless," directed by Hype Williams.The rotoscope animation technique borrows from Ralph Baskshi's 1981 American Pop , with a nod to The Jetsons and Andy Warhol. The autotuned vocal borrows from T-Pain, whose "rapper ternt sanga" model Mr. West seems intent on appropriating on 808s & Heartbreak. Still, it's an improvement on "Love Lockdown," the first single from the album that's West's first post-Graduation trilogy effort, which has a release date, Monday November 24, that's the same due-out day as new albums by the Killers and Ludacris, and comes one day after Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy, in what seems to be a joint effort at doing away with the industry's long new release Tuesday tradition.
