The Final Version of Kanye West’s “Paranoid” Music Video

Geez. It seems like there are a hundred versions of Kanye West’s music video for “Paranoid” which features Rihanna as the female in the video. This is supposedly the official and final version of the music video, The one that was released is apparently not the final product. In this one, Rihanna is seen driving with Kanye’s face haunting her while the other one was mostly just her dancing to the song provocatively.

Nabil Elderkin directed the video and said, "It’s fantasy meets paranoid, when you get into that frame of mind and get trapped into your thoughts.  It starts out subtle, but then it just builds. So I wanted to get that into the video, to build that into her dream sequence and get her into that paranoid state of mind."

For what it’s worth, I’m glad they changed it. This version is a lot more eerie. Check it out below:
