Kanye West's new video for his single "Power" premiered on August 5, 2010, on MTV. The 90-second clip has confounded some writers, who aren't quite sure how to describe it. The video leaves much open for interpretation. "Power" is expected to be included on West's as-yet untitled new album.

The "Power" video opens with a close-up of West, wearing a black shirt and a heavy gold-colored chain. As the camera pans out, slowly, we see that West is surrounded by several young women in various stages of dress. Some of the women have horns. What appears at first to be a neo-classical painting then begins to move. As the figures in the "portrait" move slowly, we see West with what appears to be the sword of Damocles above his head. As the clip draws to a close, we see two sword-weilding warriors swooping in towards West's head.

MTV says the "Power" video is "rife with religious references," and ''The Atlantic'' says the video almost appears to be an "elaborate, mesmerizing screensaver." West himself took to his Twitter account to describe "Power," saying "It's not a video .. It's a moving Painting!"

"Power" was directed by artist Marco Brambilla. According to MTV, West approached Brambilla about a commissioned video after viewing the artist's video mural ''Civilization'' in New York City. Brambilla has said the piece depicts "an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption." Brambilla has also said that the theme of "Power" is a "fall from grace," possibly a reference to West's hiatus since the 2009 Taylor Swift incident at the VMAs.

@xXxKiIluminatixXx check out the necklace. that is the head of the egyptian god, Horus. and as you probably know; the allseeing eye in the illuminati symbol is acctually called "the Eye of Horus"

so i guess kanye and jay z sit around tryna figure out how they are going to fuck over the U.S.? along with the rest of the world? sure, the caveman known as george bush already did that and most americans helped accomplish this so what im saying is music is music if you praise that before you praise who god really is then you deserve it. a celebrity is famous only because we the people allow them to be. so hey go fuck yourself because you allready do if you believe what you see and hear on tv

GOD, AS WELL AS SATAN, WORK IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. THERE IS A WAR GOING ON THAT IS BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING. EVERY RELIGION ARE AWARE OF THIS. THERE ARE SUPERNATURAL POWERS AT WORK WHO ARE WORKING W/IN, WHAT MAYBE DESCRIBED AS A SUPERNATURAL RULE BOOK WHICH FORCES THEM TO CREATIVELY MOVE THESE "CHESS PIECES" (KAYNE, JAY, RHIANNA etc etc).

JUST LIKE CHESS, THERE ARE PAWNS, KNIGHTS, BISHOPS etc etc. CHESS PIECES DON'T MOVE THEM SELVES...THINK ABOUT IT.
