Kid Cudi goes 'real abstract' with Kanye West and Common in the music video for Lady GaGa-sampled song 'Make Her Say'.
- Jul 21, 2009
AceShowbiz - Kid Cudi has brought forward a music video to promote his new single "Make Her Say", appearing alongside his collaborators Kanye West and Common. While West is seen rapping near a swimming pool, and Common is simply captured sitting on a bed, Cudi is shown singing to the song in the middle of floating balloons.
"We put a little trick-a-roo on you," Cudi told MTV about the newly-outed video. "We wanted to go for a real abstract and iconic-looking video, something real artsy. It's really dope. It's like split screen, and how he shot it is with multiple, different shots. It's almost like there's still shots and there's movement going on in them. It's really trippy."
The video's director Nez Khammal furthermore explained, "We shot Kanye in L.A. and we shot Common and Kid Cudi in New York. I tried to find a place in New York that just felt - not that it had to be specifically L.A., but something that just jelled everything."
"Make Her Say" samples an acoustic version of Lady GaGa's smash hit "Poker Face". It is released as the second single from Kid Cudi's debut album "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" which will arrive in U.S. on September 15. Beside gearing up to release his own studio project, Cudi is also rumored to make contribution to Jay-Z's new effort "Blueprint 3".
