Why are you so Paranoid-noid?

WHAT THE FRENCH
Kanye released his newest video for the track Paranoid, which has to be my favorite song on 808's. SInce it is an upbeat track I was lead to believe that the video would follow suit, but the result is quite the opposite. And even though Kanye has a Diva reputation, he is more than happy to substitute himself in his videos for foxy ladies (Flashing Lights) - RiRi being the guest star for this episode. The video follows its title, but surpasses it with the dark, almost self destructive, motif. Seems fitting for RiRi to be starred... eek. Ultimately, I am left puzzled with the video, but maybe that's the point, because all I want to do is watch it over and over again until I understand what the french is going on!
