Though it did debut at No. 1 on the charts when it dropped in June, Kanye West's Yeezus has had very little in the way of promotion. The only previous video released from the set, the brooding, animated "Black Skinhead," is highly reflective of the angry mood of the album. However, the new clip for the more commercial "Bound 2," which he premiered yesterday alongside Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, is a happier, more upbeat affair...kinda. With fiancée Kim Kardashian tagging along for a (topless) ride on his motorcycle, you'd think Yeezy would at least crack a smile. Instead, he mean mugs his way through the entire video as majestic mountain scenes breeze by in the background.and Kim bounces around on the front of the bike like an ornament. Still, even though his face doesn't show it, it's obvious from the chemistry they share in the clip that Kim and Kanye are very in love. Nothing else really happens in the clip's five-minute run time, but like most of Kanye's videos, it's beautifully shot with an attention to detail.If you're suffering from Kimye fatigue, however, this might not be the one for you.
