After more delays than the 'Do What You Want' video, the time has finally come to rate the iconic videography of modern legend/ paparrazzi assailant Kanye West. Since my photoshop skills are n̶o̶n̶-̶e̶x̶i̶s̶t̶e̶n̶t̶ minimal, I'll keep it short and sweet so here's the list of videos:

"Through the Wire"
"Jesus Walks" (version 1)
"Jesus Walks" (version 2)
"Jesus Walks" (version 3)
"All Falls Down" (featuring Syleena Johnson)
"The New Workout Plan"
"Diamonds from Sierra Leone"
"Gold Digger" (featuring Jamie Foxx)
"Heard 'Em Say" (featuring Adam Levine)
"Heard 'Em Say" (version 2)
"Touch the Sky"
"Drive Slow"
"Can't Tell Me Nothing" (version 1)
"Can't Tell Me Nothing" (version 2)
"Stronger"
"Good Life" (featuring T-Pain)
"Flashing Lights" (featuring Dwele)
"Flashing Lights" (version 2)
"Flashing Lights" (version 3)
"Homecoming"
"Champion"
"Good Morning"
"Love Lockdown"
"Heartless"
"Welcome to Heartbreak" (featuring Kid Cudi)
"Amazing" (featuring Young Jeezy)
"Paranoid" (featuring Mr Hudson)
"Spaceship" (featuring GLC and Consequence)
"Two Words" (featuring Mos Def, Freeway and the Harlem Boys Choir)
"Street Lights"
"Coldest Winter"
"Power"(featuring Dwele)
"Runaway" (featuring Pusha T)
"All of the Lights" (featuring Rihanna)
"Monster" (featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver)
"Otis" (with Jay-Z, featuring Otis Redding)
"Niggas in Paris" (with Jay-Z)
"Lost in the World" (featuring Bon Iver)
"No Church in the Wild" (with Jay-Z, featuring Frank Ocean)
"Mercy" (with Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz)
"Cold" (featuring DJ Khaled)
"Black Skinhead"
"Bound 2"

Whilst I cry over the struggle to find 3 videos for the same song, you have until 3rd February to send in your scores (if you need a bit more time that mayyy be fine but still). Also, if the videos have got you feeling some type of way, feel free to add comments with your scores - shade and praise are welcome (the former is encouraged). Happy rating!

I absolutely love Kanye and will definitely find the time to do this but SOOOOOOOO many videos. I haven't even seen the videos for 'Cold', 'Spaceship' and 'Drive Slow' and there's songs I genuinely had no idea had 2nd or 3rd versions.

Same here - I'll keep the deadline a little bit flexible if the response it gets a bit much for you guys. I was pleasantly surprised at there being a video for 'Spaceship' since it's one of my faves from the debut.

I enjoy Kanye's music a lot but never bothered getting into his videography. I'm not sure if I would have enough time to watch each videos enough times to rate them fairly; I really want to avoid scoring based on first impressions. I'll try, though!

I want to do this, but I care about myself too much to listen to Flashing Lights three times.

This rate is bound 2 be great. Wow, that's an awful visual pun, just like Kim.

I hopr "No Church In The Wild"/the other dark-later-'difficult' ones put up a good fight against (the amazing) "Runaway". Excited to do this!

I want to take part in this, hopefully I'll find the time. "Runaway" is also my no-brainer favorite, I think.

I had no idea half of these songs had videos. Count me in, though I'm not sure I see anything other than a win for Runaway.

Oh, FYC: "All Of The Lights", which is an incredible video. So accomplished.

I'm stanning for some early videos as well. Workout Plan is amazing and has Anna Nicole Smith doing a skit

I'm still undecided if I want to participate, but I want to make my hatred of the 3rd Version of Flashing Lights known--the original video is exceptional and the one with the model/socialite/whatever dumbs it down so much. The only thing it has going for it is that the entire song is played.

'Power' is flawless (apart from its length).

The more the merrier! I know there's a load to watch but it's not like the videos are shite as a whole.

And Dylan, the All of the Lights video is SO disappointing!

Also Ocean, you better be taking part! Your comments are required.

Oh that looks good. I want to participate but I haven't watched almost half of them.
I will try to find some time to watch everything, as I love his music (but I'm kinda bored to watch videos).

There was a bit of a mistake with the Jesus Walks links but they've been sorted now. I'm hoping to get at least 15 voters so we can get a decent rate.

I love Kanye's music, however I've never enjoyed his videos much. I only like a few and even then they're nothing special.

I think I'd be happy with either "Touch The Sky" or "Runaway" winning.
