VIDEO BATTLE: Kanye’s “Paranoid” VS “Spaceship”

Written by The Urban Daily on June 3, 2009 3:37 pm

Many fans of Kanye West seem convinced that his only real competition is himself, so we’re going to put that notion to the test. Not only has he released the final edit of “Paranoid” from 808′s & Heartbreak, he’s also unleashed a clip of “Spaceship” from his debut, College Dropout. Which Kanye West wins this round? Old school Kanye or the auto-tuned Louis Vuitton Don? Let us know in the comments!

Shout out to Young Pharoh and Kev Clark for finding these.

    I can understand where it’s going…there are time we feel tired of being in the same environment where nothing changes….Many people travel physically, however never travel mentally and emotionally. IMO

    I think I’m going to go with Paranoid, even though Spaceship is my s**t, the video to Paranoid is AWESOME, I LOVE IT! And Rihanna looks so fuccin hot! in the Vid, and also the artistic derection is beautiful, A Round of Applause for Kanye! Love ya, Chi-town Stand UP!!!!!

    spaceship is a classic i first listened to this song in 2004 i never thought he would make a movie and he sampled marvin gaye distance lover with the song classic

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lashaya_05/ lashaya_05

    Spaceship does it for me!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/astra22/ astra22

    Kanye is the man! He is so talented! My pic is spaceship, its a video anyone can relate to. I’m not hating but Paranoid and the whole Rhianna thing is wack. Yeah she’s beautiful but with the timing of the CB s*#t just confirms my thoughts thats shes crazy!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_DA_TRINA/ _DA_TRINA

    M PICK WOULD HAVE TO BE FOR…………….. SPACESHIP!! PARANOID IS MY SHYT BUT THE VIDEO IS POINTLESS!! ARTISTIC……YES…… BUT STILL POINTLESS!! SPACESHIP EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!1 I LOVE THE VIDEO NO LIE!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/miiszliina23/ miiszliina23

    im kanyes #1 fan…i enjoy allof his music. he is #1 to me.. i liked both videos i just dont think rhianna shouldve gotten so much screen play…i mean Kanyes paranoid as well.it seems like he only had like 4 shots and she had the rest. i understand that they’re dating but damn kanye…if you had to pick a girl 2 be in your video..why couldnt it be me? im sexy and educated. ! well damn Kanye.- Lina Linsz

    OMG OFF THE CHAIN BOTH VIDEOS. TALENTED NO ONE BETTER. THAN MR.WEST.

    spaceship off top.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TIKI_1218/ TIKI_1218

    Spaceship is the isht! Its raw, real, and pertinent to who he once was. Paranoid is just a fabrication of who he wants to be. I used to love his music, underground and all but lately its like he forgot when he was hustlin his demo to Dame Dash!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/iceman30five/ iceman30five

    S**t they both off the chain. Man Kanye West s**t is out of this world!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/keyanna_d/ keyanna_d

    what eva he touch is hot i love kanye and jay fucck all the haters, that nigga is alright wit me i like hip hop good s**t , things that are diffrent show off just how good they are and he shows us ova and ova again

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/YOURNAWTEEGIRL/ YOURNAWTEEGIRL

    THEY BOTH SUCK

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Callastyle/ Callastyle

    This Devil Worshiper needs to get in a “Spaceship” and go far away and never comeback. He worships Baphomet: That’s who he’s representing in this video.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LexX4Real/ LexX4Real

    lol spaceship is way better…paranoid is a lil messed up

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/T-pot216/ T-pot216

    I going to have to go with Spaceship..I love that song..But I also heard that is not the real video for Paranoid. It’s the old version of the video and that Kanye has changed it and made a new video for Paranoid..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AutonomousLegion/ AutonomousLegion

    I think the choice is obvious. Paranoid is a tight cut but the video was super wack.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tan2005/ tan2005

    both song are good but paranoid is better but it is a lil wack

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ket_Ket/ Ket_Ket

    Spaceship was better…the paranoid video was just weird, but I still love kanye.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ms_Static/ Ms_Static

    spaceship is way better. i’ve been waiting on a video for that song for 5 years. i worked at the GAP from 98-2000. that song tells the story of my life!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Frosty3026/ Frosty3026

    Spaceship was a better song, till this day it hits home harder then any song i know.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Rizingceleb/ Rizingceleb

    I actually like Paranoid cuz it is different…its unique and its edgy…Kanye always works outside the box (tho with Rihanna’s current situation I find it weird for her to lile star in that video)!!!

    But SPACESHIP is still one of my favorite songs and with the recession going on it hits so close to home!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/IrreplaceableChica/ IrreplaceableChica

    I clearly get the jist of the Paranoid video. It’s very creative and out of the ordinary. Spaceship is the jam period! Nothing more to say. I love them both. Nice look, Kanye.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Oh_Yea_I_Do/ Oh_Yea_I_Do

    Spaceship is his best song ever for me! That shyt hit on so many levels! Walking out the store with that space suit on with that look on his face is classic! Paranoid has this 80′s feel to it with the beat and all. I kinda like it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sngllady32/ sngllady32

    Spaceship is way better than paranoid and i donkt even like kanye west music but some how i love spaceship
