Kanye Is Hurt By Rihanna Video Leak

Yesterday, a first cut of Kanye West’s video for his new single “Paranoid” leaked onto the interwebs, much to his apparent dismay.

The video features Rihanna in full-corseted form, writhing around before some flashing lights, tossing her retro Michael Jackson hair to and fro, and it’s ALL WRONG. Kanye posted on his blog:

IT HURTS ME TO SEE THE OLD AND VERY WRONG VERSION OF THE PARANOID VIDEO GET LEAKED ALL OVER THE NET WHILE I WAS ON AN 11 HR FLIGHT AND COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT’S JUST FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS BECAUSE I REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SINCE VIDEOS NEVER GET PLAYED ANY WAY YOU MIGHT AS WELL TWEAK THEM AND MAKE THEM AS SPECIAL AS POSSIBLE. THE VERSION THAT GOT LEAKED FROM THE CAMERA PHONE LAST WEEK IS AT LEAST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FINAL PRODUCT. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT BUT THAT VIDEO WAS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS.

While we know it’s going to be hard to tell much of a difference between the two cuts and kanye needs to get upset with his peeps for the leaks and not the interwebies, the video does look fairly awesome though.
