Kanye - Runaway.mp4

In 7th grade I was attending the most ghetto school in Virginia. The principle named my class the worst class in the school. After a day of getting in trouble as always, my English teacher sat down and showed my classmates this film. He talked about being yourself and the importance of staying true to yourself no matter what. In the runaway scene, the black people are getting served by the white, and yet still they are judging Kanye’s new gf. After overcoming the past of being judged themselves. My teacher would pause and tell us to have an open mind. I wish it was recorded, that day changed my life forever. He rewired my thinking and I always sought to stay different from then on, and be proud. The Phoenix represents being reborn, a new beginning, and people will judge you no matter what. She offers the family bread, being nice and wanting to give, but they reject and continue to judge. The guy says “do you know she’s a bird” as if Kanye doesn’t know she’s different. It could represent how Kanye gets judged and looked at negatively even tho he is really trying to do good, it’s just that he’s different and people don’t understand him. They clap for him after he performs runaway, as if to say “good job that’s what ur supposed to be”, after they were just judging. When they bring out the turkey that makes her yell, that’s Kanye reacting to how they (media and public) still choose to eat him up. And this is why he reacts crazy sometimes , and when he reacts, people leave his side(they all leave the table). And Kanye is there palms in his face again. I think the film could have many interpretations. I believe this film/album is not just about Kanye himself, but can be a metaphor for the world. The fame is an aspect of the album, but not every detail related to his fame per se. I think u were trying to associate ever detail with his fame and missed some more overarching themes

Also, “lost in the world” isn’t really about sex and fame. It’s deeper. Kanye feels lost, his brain is wired different and people don’t understand him. He feels like an outcast, people judging and media bashing. He means well but comes off too passionate and people take it negatively.

I loved the reaction with you and your wife. How fun. I think you should do this more often. Are we getting additionagl thoughts?

Happy to hear you watched the Mallory Bros breakdown of the album. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and how the album has grown on you for the past week

And I’m not sure if you’ve heard this on Power but after the line “So Exciting” the reverb echo on the line cuts of slightly which makes it sounds like he’s saying “suicide”. This links to the outro of him singing “Jumping out the window”. You have to have a certain amount of power to choose when to end your life

That part is really trippy. And apparently he sampled something from a Japense artist that did suicide via jumping from a window? Wild

Yeah, I was trying to consider the game aspect on that view since so many people mentioned it after my reaction. I agree though, there are broader themes in display as well

Love that you watched this man! If you're into Artist making extra content for their albums I would recommend Childish Gambino's Because The Internet, his music videos all tell a story and he wrote a screenplay to read before you listen to it!

It'd be great if you could listen in your own time or react to this throwaway track from MBDTF called Mama's Boyfriend. Kanye actually performed this on a table at Facebook's HQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR1c8Qw3wEA

I think you guys are on to something with the colors of kanye's suit meaning something. I noticed at the end when he's running he's just wearing the white top.

Seen someone link you to his SNL performance. Have you watched his VMA performance of runaway ? I find that one so iconic since it was his first appearance a year later after the swift incident. Ye coming back after everyone hating him and then bam just like that they love him again. Here’s the link to that https://www.reddit.com/r/Kanye/comments/azf6q0/kanye_performing_runaway_at_the_2010_vma_awards/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

hey im new! been watching on the tubes for a while now. but idk if knew this but theirs an unreleased track leaked in between 808’s and mbdtf called “never see me again” it’s basically a suicide note in song form that would hv been released after his “death”. the song samples a (i think korean) artist that killed herself by jumping of a building. and in the song POWER at the end he says “make your life so exciting” but the sound slowly fades from “so exciting” to “suicide”. and this is said right after the line “this will be a beautiful death, jumping out the window”. their was also a bonus track on the album called “see me now” which was supposed to be the happy ending to the unreleased track called “never see me again”. this point in time is considered the nexus point in the kanye fandom that changed the course of music history. if ye would hv killed himself we wouldn’t hv had one of the most influential artist in music.

Sorry for the bad English. This s how i understand the video. The lady falling from the sky is Kanye's artistry, his gift that he receives from above (God). and first thing he tells it is never listen to what they say on the news. He then natures it, trains it, shows it the fame and fortune they can achieve together, how they can be like mike (which has evil (KKK) surrounding him him and when he finally introduces his gift / art, the media / critics are shocked, / don't accept it as it is not what they are used to. The media eats on art / they feast on peoples talent ( depicted by the chicken) and even eat young talent (quail eggs). when he decides to show them what he can do and perform. the critics have their back on the performance and don't even watch, they only focus when he asks to cheers for the douchebags. The criticism even kills his own mother and when that devastates him they all run and leave him on his own. he then decides to go back to the beginning and start over. He rises again like a phoenix, now even stronger.
