Computer-generated inmates climb fences and escape prison to see Jesus Christ get baptized during a hurricane in the opening scene of Kanye West’s new “Hurricane” music video, out Tuesday.
The four-minute visual for his Donda song — with Lil Baby and the Weeknd — comes several days after West dropped the disturbing Pete Davidson-beheading, claymation video for “Eazy.”
“See this in 3D, all lights out for me/All lights out for me, lightning strikes the beach,” sings the Weeknd to open the video as lightning literally strikes a CGI beach and inmates escape jail. “80 degrees, warm it up for me/Finally free, found the God in me.”
After Jesus’ baptism and the prison break, the video shows clips of the three musicians as CGI humanoids as they seem to perform the track from a strange, heaven-like place. To quote West’s lyrics, “It’s a lot to digest.”
To end…
