Kanye West's "Monster" Video Leaks

Kanye explores his dark side in new "Monster" video

Kanye West, who I chose as the #1 winner and the #1 comeback of 2010, has decided to celebrate the end of the year with a music video leak.

Ok, maybe it wasn't him, but still, what a great way to get people talking into 2011.

The music video for his single "Monster", featuring Rick Ross, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj, leaked last night on YouTube in its pre-final version.

Continuing his theme of dark and twisted fantasies, the opening of the video has dead models hanging from the ceiling, with Rick Ross sitting with them. There is a bunch of satanic-teasing iconography in this video, including but not limited to Kanye chilling on a wall with a dead woman's head in his grasp and hands coming from the gates (of Hell?) groping a shirtless Kanye.

My favorite part of the video was Nicki Minaj's part. It appears that two of Nicki's alter egos are in the video, Barbie and either Roman or Nicki herself. Barbie is tied up to a chair in a white dress, while Roman/Nicki is in black dominatrix gear, teasing/torturing her other self.

Basically, this video makes Gaga's Alejandro look like a trip to Strawberry Shortcake's villa in Switzerland.

What do you think of Kanye's new video (in its unfinished form, mind you)?
