Critics call Kanye West’s “dead model” video vile

Critics are calling Kanye West’s new music video Monsters “vile” and “misogynistic.” Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center says: “Women in nooses, dismembered body parts, blood everywhere, violent and foul lyrics. In a sane world, this wouldn’t sell one copy. His latest video gives us a peek into his mind and soul and, frankly, it’s a dark, disgusting place where women are victimized and their bodies are treated as props for the ‘monsters’ singing,” Gainor explains. “In this case, Kanye did his best to out-vile the competition. What next? Live human sacrifice?” However, Kanye calls the video “art,” and Los Angeles-based entertainment and pop culture expert Jenn Hoffman agrees, saying “The model corpses represent women who are beautiful, but ‘dead inside.’” This comes on the heels of Rihanna being criticized for her latest video called Man Down, in which she murders her rapist after hunting him down with a gun. Have you seen either video? Art? Or appalling?
