Kanye’s video for “Paranoid” is already complete and awaiting an official release, but I’ve actually already seen it, thanks to a bootleg video taken at an industry event. LA Reid even introduced the clip. If I have to pick a word to describe it, that would be memorable, for no other reason than the occasionally disturbing inclusion of Rihanna as the main character. Don’t get me wrong…from a production standpoint, it pushes Kanye’s visual aesthetic on nicely. But given Rihanna’s recent history, it’s just a bit unsettling. Check it out for yourselves…any thoughts? (No guarantees on how long this clip will be up for)

Pop Music Notes 
it’s ok. everyone knows the best song about being Paranoid was released by Garbage (G’Barge as i liked to call them) in the 90s 🙂
Ah, Garbage. What are the chances that they’ll ever have another hit?
Isn’t it too late for a video? The song’s already been and gone at radio. Pity too, for it should have been a hit.
Well, it hasn’t been released officially in other territories, so maybe it stands a chance. Having Mr Hudson attached may help it in the UK, as his profile is starting to rise again.
Not really my thang but glad you like it. 🙂
Someone’s gotta like it, eh?
The song does nothing for me but I love B&W photography, so the video looks classy. I personally wish Rihanna would just take a break. She hasn’t been away from the game for 5 seconds since her debut and I think she’s reaching saturation point – particularly after Chris Brown and her nudie pics leaking. Take a holiday!
Mike, you are a pop music visionary. Girl needs to go away, but sometimes, when your fame is tied to your visibility rather than pure talent, going away is the hardest thing to do. They DO forget about you, you know…
