Kanye West '25' Video: Rapper Debuts NSFW Visual For Anja Rubik's Magazine: "Snoop Dog and other rappers and some rockers like Motley Crue have used porn in the past as a vehicle to their music. Some have worked effectively in the marriage of the two mediums and in the case of Kanye, it comes off as more pretentiousness than a collaboration of art and music. It seems like the video imagery would been better served as still photography rather than a cacophony of blip second fast edit segments. Style wise, the images are good but where is it going as far as the music is concerned? Not every thing that you do is genius if it's lost in translation and there have been avant garde artist like Warhol and David Bowie who mastered the surreal with music and the point wasn't lost. And nudity for nudity sake doesn't make it cutting edge or shocking or NSFW either. Slapping it with a NSFW may bring in crowds but as Bootsy has said, watcha going to do when the novelty wears off of your style? That aspect of it was boring and the 60's kaleidoscope work reminded me of the Beatles. A C- rating review."
