*Wipes Tears From Face*: The Version Of Paranoid That We All Fell In Love With Is A FAKE

Say it ain't so... Apparantly, the version of "Paranoid" that has been floating around the internet (even on kiddunot) is NOT the official video at all. In fact, it's an 'old' version. Kanye West took to his blog to tell the world about the leakage of a 'very wrong' version of "Paranoid"

IT HURTS ME TO SEE THE OLD AND VERY WRONG VERSION OF THE PARANOID VIDEO GET LEAKED ALL OVER THE NET WHILE I WAS ON AN 11 HR FLIGHT AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S JUST FRUSTRATING WHEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS BECAUSE I REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SINCE VIDEOS NEVER GET PLAYED ANY WAY YOU MIGHT AS WELL TWEAK THEM AND MAKE THEM AS SPECIAL AS POSSIBLE. THE VERSION THAT GOT LEAKED FROM THE CAMERA PHONE LAST WEEK IS AT LEAST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FINAL PRODUCT. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT BUT THAT VIDEO WAS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS. HERE'S SOME SCREEN SHOTS FROM THE REAL VIDEO

He also leaked some screenshots from the offical video...

And it looks surprisingly better than the original. I'm a big Sin City fan, so I doubt that I'll be a disappointer. Besides, anything with Rihanna's name on it right now is guaranteed to be a success... but what's with the Grizzly Bear?
