I especially liked the scene where the mascot dunks the ball and how it was captured. The eye-candy shots are done well and they really &quot;sell&quot; what the video is about.  The entire slow motion feel of the video really pulls the viewer in to hang on each of the visuals also.Job well done Kanye.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@thismayconcernyou,</p><p>I think the cinematography is rather good.

I&#039;ve heard the mixtape and I&#039;ve listened to this song more times than I care to admit, tryna figure out what in his generic ass flow is so compelling.I&#039;m stumped.The only thing I can think of is that for some reason, people are easily marketed to and don&#039;t want to be the odd person out in their immediate circle to admit that dude has zero talent.And by that I mean, there&#039;s a bassline competency that MOST rappers in the industry have.  For me, its can speak English, marginally + biting Jay = good enough to bowl over most listeners with no real understanding or appreciation of hip-hop.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m still trying to figure out how this kid built any buzz at all.
