Kanye West Performs "Power" & "Runway" (SNL) Videos

After the SNL people dissed him not once but twice after the whole Taylor Swift
debacle, Kanye released the song POWER from his yet unnamed new album, which inclues the lyrics:

"Fuck SNL and the whole cast / Tell 'em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass / More specifically they can kiss my asshole.”

And since his last performance on the show was such an auto tune disaster, Kanye knew he needed to do something big and bold to proof all the haters he was back, first off he made a very radical change to the now infamous line, on the live telecast West sang:

"The brown hero, live from Ground Zero/Machine gun flow, made her get a Ross Perot/And this is disestablishmentarianism / With my night goggles on, got military vision And it's still a very Christian way to think about livin'/ When you prayin' for freedom ’cause your mind been in prison/'Cause they tryin' to control every single big decision."

More importantly the whole white staging and the large group of dancers was amazing, welcome back you crazy, egotistical sonofabitch, I was/am on Team Kanye all the way, swear!!

Fiona Apple "Limp" Videos

You wanna make me sick;
You wanna lick my wounds,
Don't you, baby?
You want the badge of honor when you save my hide
But you're the one in the way
Of the day of doom, baby
If you need my shame to reclaim your pride
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; got off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand
You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; get off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand

Limp was the second single from Fiona's second album "When The Pawn..."
the video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

About working with Fiona on her videos PT Anderson said:

"While we like working together and obviously benefit from it, we're aware of the super-couple stigma. We are consciously "trying to keep a slightly low profile because we realize that we would hate us. We want to stick to the work. I wanted to direct Fiona Apple videos before I went out with Fiona, so generally what we do is do cool videos together and keep our mouths shut about them."


The second video is Fiona's performance of the song on Saturday Night Live on
Feb/19/00.

PS: Day 10 out of 13.
