I still don't get the "Bound 2" video hate.

[Mesousa287793]

Seriously, the dislikes are way too damn high for a video (in my opinion) that seems rather harmless other than basic nudity. Not to mention I like the song.

I don't get the hate. Someone explain.

I don't speak for the mob, but from what I'm guessing:

-It features two very polarizing celebrities
-It is the essence of cockiness
-It's cheesy as hell

Out of all of the footage shot for her slew of shows on E!, the various tv and movie appearances, and and all of the photos that end up on magazine stands and blog sites, there is only one piece of film that matters of Kim Kardashian.

This. I wouldn't even need to hear the actual song (which I find terrible) to know I'd hate these two human beings. They're the personification of all that is detestable in celebrity culture.

I turned it off when that "Uh-Huh Honey" crap started.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I wanna f*** you hard in the sink.

The music behind all of it is really good, but man the lyrics suck.

[Kayfabe FAN don't want none]

I downloaded the instrumental version. The beat is sick.

[Jazzman]

I had a friend in college who put this video out where he constructed the beat.

The video is corny as hell, but I love the song.

[Welfare Willis]

I hate it because I really wanted to watch Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly suck face again. Instead I got Kayne speaking about his love of fishsticks or something.

So this is a duet video with Kanye and Kim Khardashian, I take it? Because this is the first time I've heard about this Bound 2 thing.

[Mesousa287793]

So, they hate it because it's corny. So is every single K-Pop video. And alternative rock videos, too.

Then again, it does look cheap, but whatever. Also, I've heard WORSER lyrics from Kanye than this one, in fact, the one line he did on Drake's "Forever" makes me facepalm every time. The one involving him sticking "something" on "life".

The song is pretty decent (reminds me of early Kanye), but I think the problem with the video is that it has too much Kim Kardashian. Like, WAY too much, and we get enough of her and her annoying family as it is.

I'm a fan of Kanye's music, but lately, he's been in a rut, and it can't be a complete coincidence that it's started ever since he hooked up with Kim. She ruins everything.

Anything's going to look less good compared to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. That's legit something I'd put on my all-time favorite rap/hip-hop albums. But Yeezus, while it is a mixed bag, does have some really good stuff on it. New Slaves and BLKKK SKKKNHEAD are fantastic in particular.

It started before that. Ever since his mother died on the plastic surgeon's operating table six years ago, he hasn't been himself.

[Wolf Hawkfield no1 NZ poster]

It pretty much symbolizes everything that is wrong with western civilization.

[JTG Fan]

The hate is excessive.

I mean damn, what would Jeromey Romey Romey Rome think?

Kanye West is probably a genius, and if you read biographies of people touched by genius in history they tend to be colossal assholes. Kanye frequently makes amazing music, but he also frequently acts like a complete douchenozzle, which some people (myself excluded) can't look past. Kanye is also, unfortunately, very aware of his own greatness and so videos like this where he's trying to create some kind of 'great art' just make it really easy to make fun of him, just as it was for the Runaway mini-movie. The difference there was that Runaway was soundtracked by the best f***ing album he's ever made, where 'Bound 2' is just a pretty good song from his okayish recent record.

People love to see the mighty fall. But West is fuelled by people's hatred of him so it's not like this reaction will stop him.

The video just plain isn't very good, it's very pretentious and incredibly easy to make fun of.

Also, and this doesn't apply to everyone, Kanye is ploughing one of the hottest women on Earth and featured her topless in his music video to boot, so a lot of people I suspect hate the video through sheer jealousy.
