| spirited (run)away |

After making its premier at select private events, Kanye's short film is finally available for public consumption. Runaway is about 30 minutes long, and features a few cuts (some of which we've already heard) from his upcoming album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."

I'll be the first to admit I know nothing about film and cinematography, so I won't comment on the artsy side of thie short. I will, however, say that there isn't much talking going on here. This could've ended up bothering me, but the few spoken lines afforded to West and co-star Selita Ebanks reminded us why neither should take up acting. There are a few previously-unheard snippets of new material, and there are some beautiful scenes to accompany Ebanks' astonishing hotness. Overall, it wasn't as epic as I thought it would be, but it's entertaining. After watching through it, I'm left with a feeling that something about this ambitious project was lost on me. Or maybe it's crazy epic, but I'm just not cultured enough to appreciate it... ;)

See for yourself below!

// Willow Smith - Whip My Hair //

I still don't know how I feel about this one. The track hits so hard, but she's only 9 years old! If you didn't know (and couldn't tell from the freakish similiarity), Willow is the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. While it might be a little early to call her the next big thing in pop music, there's no doubt she'll definitely have her chances. Something about "Whip My Hair" reminds me of Lil' Mama, which isn't bad for your first single. Where she goes after the initial splash will determine if she'll be a star, or... Lil' Mama. Also a point of interest (for me, anyway) is if Willow will keep things clean, just like dad. ;)

But seriously though, it weirds me out that Jaden and Willow look so much like their dad. I feel like I just watched a juvenile, cross-dressing Will Smith music video..
