Kanye West ‘Monster’ Video Shows Rapper Sexually Exploiting Dead Female Corpses

By Erin R. Brown | January 25, 2011 | 18:40

Ladies, Kanye West isn't interested in your mind. Or your soul, for that matter.

A sneak peek at the Kanye West video for his new single “Monster” revealed that there is no place this sick “artist” won’t go. The macabre 30-second trailer shows the rapper making sexual advances to a dead or drugged female corpse in his bed, and several dead, lingerie-clad women are seen hanging with chains around their necks.

Video below fold

 

The trailer, which is available for viewing on YouTube, has gotten the attention of the Culture for Life Foundation, a “social policy research institute that exists to reveal and present the truths about the human person at all stages of life and in all conditions.” The Culture for Life Foundation has drafted a petition against the official release of the full length video and the petition is sponsored by the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women Australia, Collective Shout, and Adios Barbie.

Dolled up and sexually provocative corpses are plentiful in the trailer and West is seen making sexual advances toward one female in his bed. In the trailer, West moves the hand of one female corpse onto the private parts of another female corpse. He then takes the face of the first corpse and begins to kiss her cold, dead lips.

West has objectified women in his videos before such as the 2005 hit “Gold Digger,” in which attractive young females were seen throughout the video in provocative lingerie dancing around West. But none have gone so far as “Monster,” which sexually objectifies a woman to the point of death. Even the cover art for the single’s release, which depicts an illustrated version of West with a naked, winged Phoenix, caused a stir last year when Wal-Mart refused to stock the album for its “objectionable content.”

West is no stranger to controversy – in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, West, who was frustrated with the federal government’s slow response to the disaster, stated that then-president Bush, “doesn’t care about Black People.” At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, West stormed the stage during country/pop artist Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, grabbed the microphone from Swift, and obnoxiously told the audience that Beyonce’s video was “one of the best videos of all time.”

West is a world renown rapper and producer with 5 platinum-selling albums and 12 Grammys to his name.

He's trying to create an aura

Submitted by ant on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 7:03pm.

He's trying to create an aura of evil mystery to win fans, apparently. I have talked to some young, black men at work who are fans of the genre. Some of these guys are avoiding works from Kanye West because there are stories going around about him selling his soul to the devil for fame and belonging to the Illuminati and all that stuff. It's all the usual stuff that intrigues the consumer, much like watching a horror film.

It's been a kind of myth that has worked for acts like Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and I'm sure has never hurt the sales of Robert Johnson recordings.

Pick your poison. Do you want

1. Necrophilia: A man foreplaying with drugged or dead women.

or

2. Misogyny; Dead or chained women.

or

3. Miscegenation; A black man having his way with white women.

And all the while, the rest of the public discourse is all swept up in civility. Tell that to the f****** programming a**holes at MTf******V and Bf*******ET. 

Excuse me for having to show my asterisks.

This falls on the shoulders of the enablers

Submitted by CO2Maker on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 8:11pm.

Rebuke West, he surely deserves it, but that's like picking up the street drug user or hooker. The real weight of opprobrium should fall on the shoulders of the people who sponsor, promote, and broadcast this stuff . . . and that won't ever be effective because no one ever goes after the studios and record labels.

Ever since the 60s, when the sense of public outrage and scorn was completely rejected, there is nothing that now merits the sting of shame and public disgust, except smoking, the N-word, the F-word, the C-word, and a few others, and any kind of trendy-phobia. But there is no stigma to genuinely gratuitous and degrading representations. They are "art" and "free speech," and they are held up as examples of unchained creativeness. 

Art? Oh yeah, right. Cheap T's and A's, faux macabre Nine Inch Nails derivative pseudo-Surrealism with a pinch of Sade. Lady Gaga, doing a pale imitation of a young Madonna (so says Camille Paglia), almost all of the muh-fuh rappers and their bitches and hos. Yeah, art. Move over Beethoven.

If you want an example of the worst of corporate manipulations that jerk children around, this is where to start. MTV has ruined more children than Joe Camel ever did.

An epidemic of black on white racism in this country

Submitted by ArrowSmith on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 10:49pm.

For the ultimate horror of black male on white female violence(rape, mutilation, murder):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita_Massacre

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channon_Christian

Christian's death came only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Christian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with "an object," possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution - all while Christian was alive, the forensic expert said. She was then "hog-tied," with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets. Christian died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.[6]

Arrow Smith

Submitted by ant on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 11:15pm.

Believe it or not  I once got into a back and forth with a white,female, lesbian journalist (she made the point of the identifiers) that covered the Christian torture/murder case for a local paper. In her ever-so-typical zeal to be fair she continually pointed out that the victims had drugs (marijuana) in their system, although this was never verified. Her articles reflected this objectivety that it was possibly a drug-deal gone bad and the perps deserved to have this taken into consideration, although there was no proof whatsoever and the drug evidence was hearsay. She continued in this way in typical liberal obstinence. When I asked her if that meant the torture and death this girl suffered was a fair justice for experimenting with marijuana I received no further communication from the libtard. I guess my point is, I fr**gin" hate race-baiting libtard journalists with twisted ideas of justice!

It wasn't the 60's. The dam

Submitted by ozarkian on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 12:59am.

It wasn't the 60's. The dam burst and all the flooding started with 2LiveCrew's FL trial in which their musc was described by the media only as "risque" or "controversial," and the court decided it was "art." That was the first mainstream disc to have pornographic, completely mysogynist (and white and cop-killing) themes. Because of the publicity, it sold a lot, and every day/week after that, a new "rap artist" with ever-worse lyrics was being promoted.

Both of my newspaper subscriptions were cancelled years ago, both after stories glorifying rappers. I asked, "Why am I paying for this sh**?" and never looked back. I'm also a proud member of the conservative "no TV" club.

It was free speech

I remember some morality police said they would arrest 2liveCrew if theynperformed in his city and kept his promise This totally backfired on this idiot that thought he could dictate what was good fior everyone else and gave them free publicity.
