Kanye West’s video for his new song “Bound 2” aired on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on November 19th. 

Though one could call this a music video, it is hard to focus on the music when the video aspect dominates attention. A light-skinned, blonde woman is shown half-naked on a motorcycle, getting pretty intimate with Kanye.

No, the "creative genius" isn't an adulterer; it's just an unrecognizably edited Kim Kardashian. Kim's profile and blonde hair flash across the screen for only a few seconds before the video skips to Kanye singing. 

The graphics of the video are incredibly random. The scene starts off with different landscapes, i.e. mountains and fields, to a desert, and then to Kim Kardashian topless on a motorcycle.  A natural progression, of course.

Maybe Kanye felt a little jealous over the scandelous tape that Kim released a few years ago. But maybe this video was Kim's idea. The reality star has a record of tapes and photos being leaked to the paparazzi or seen on her show. Surely, this music video will eventually be part of an episode on the upcoming season of “Keeping up with the Kardashians". This could serve as a distraction, taking viewers' minds off of the fact Mr. and Mrs. Jenner are divorcing. All that we know is Kanye's abstract creativity always keeps discussion flowing through both fans and haters alike.
