For the launch of Anja Rubik's new magazine, 25, photographer and director Barnaby Roper teamed up with Kanye West to make a video dedicated to the issue's theme of eroticism. Rubik knew West from bumping into him at various fashion events over the years, and they became close friends when he started working on his clothing line (she's since opened both of his runway shows, and he rapped about her in "Way Too Cold"). "He’s like a machine, not only with music but also with fashion and videos," Rubik told us earlier this week. "He’s a workaholic, and always talking about all these crazy thoughts and images running through his head."
When Rubik was putting together the first issue of 25, she and West discussed how she wanted theact. But we were much more disturbed by the blatant use of illumnati imagery.
The video begins with the number 25 and then in an ominous voice, Kanye announces:
"Through me the way to the suffering in the city. Through me the everlasting pain. Abandon all hope. You enter here," the video then begins with rapidly moving through a succession of images, similar to Ye and Jay's "On To The Next" video and finally at the end Kanye announces. "I am yours eternally."
Eternally though? Just strikes us as remarkably close to "eternal damnation."
