DID KANYE WEST RIP OFF THE CONCEPT FOR ALL OF THE LIGHTS VIDEO?

Kanye West released his All Of The Lights music video at the end of last week. Along with potential legal news about this video from the weekend, I’m posting this now rather than overlooking it altogether. It’s being alleged by some, who noticed the similarities, that sections of the above video rip-off the opening sequence of the 2010 film Enter the Void, directed by Gaspar Noe. That intro is below for comparison. All Of The Lights is one song on West’s album I kept skipping initially because its introduction is annoying. Then, once it got going, the vocal from Rihanna grated my nerves. Only recently did I hear it all the way through, and the beat was pretty good, if nothing else. The video features Rihanna and Kid Cudi. There are some interesting visuals in the opening section before we move on to the seconds and seconds of gratuitous cuts and shots of Rihanna’s almost bare breasts. Seriously, as a straight girl I couldn’t look at her face, she was showing that much front/ side/ under-boob. She covered her areola with inches-wide material and called it a day. It’s even less covered than the neckerchief-as-a-shirt I wear to buy groceries.
