How does Kanye West top the understated cool of ‘Gold Digger’ featuring Jamie Foxx? The short answer: he doesn’t try. Instead, Mr. West’s new single takes a departure into more reflective territory, featuring Adam Levine’s wonderful vocals. The lyrics talk of low-wage living, cigarette addiction, the government, among many other things. The original video, filmed by Michel Gondry who directed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was scrapped at the last minute and replaced by a hand-drawn animation by Bill Plympton. There has been no official word as to why this was.
