That's the funny thing about music videos. Because they are shafted under the "entertainment" box, that means they cannot be critiqued. I like the way West's lyrics tend to only apply to himself. For anyone who doesn't know, this man has a MASSIVE ego, and can be quoted more than once boasting about how he is the greatest artist in the world. There is a trend, reguardless, in rap and hiphop, where male rappers will carry on about freedom of speech and, well, freedom in general, yet they strip away the power of others (women) whilst doing so. It was on this site too, I think, that revealed a great contrast in lyrics and video clips, and generally mixed messages within lyrics, eg Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend and Rihanna's Umbrella.
