Estelle’s “American Boy” Video

I would’ve like to have knocked this out in a more timely fashion but alas, here I am left with my nearly passe commentary on this Estelle joint. I first heard Big Spanish rock this track on Hot97 a few months ago and it’s only now that I actually first saw the video which to be honest, I’m a disappointed in. Loving the song, no qualms there whatsoever. And to really cover the bases, the video is not bad by any means. It’s just that there feels to me like a serious lack of reached potential in which this song would inspire. First off, what is Kanye doing with that creepy talking into Estelle’s ear Ying Yang Twins shit? It doesn’t fit. I just picture planes, great skyline views, travel, fresh dancing and good flash animation. Here I’m left with Kanye trying to be a pimp with his fur and a corny array of “American boys” Estelle sitting on a couch with paint on the wall. Although I do like the shadow taking a life of its own effect as an upside. And overall, this song is one of my favs for 08.
