Parties You Will Never Get Into

One of the biggest hip-hop stars of the day recently made headlines when he premiered his latest music video at a Hollywood event.

Kanye West, who has been in the news for both his music and shenanigans in recent years, hosted an event in Los Angeles to show his new 30-minute-long video entitled “Runaway.” The video follows Griffin, played by West, as he races in a futuristic sports car down the road – only to find a heaping pile of debris. As he approaches the wreckage, Griffin discovers a woman named Phoenix and pulls her out of the smoldering rubble.

The epic music video comes ahead of West’s new album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” and features many songs within the cinematic endeavour. During the L.A. screening, West told the audience of friends, fans and media that he had “contemplated suicide” in the past, but that he had recovered.
Kanye made news recently when he was named one of the top 5 influential men in the country. According to AskMen.com, West is the fifth most influential man in the United States.
