Analysis continuedBasic analysis of the video - a 70's style video show a daredavil names Evel Kanyevel (Kanye West) attempting to fly a rocket across the grand canyon. It is a homage to the failed attempt to jump across snake river canyon made by Evel Kinevel.

Trivia:

A sample from the famous Curtis Mayfield song ‘Move On Up’ is used in this song, it is the trumpet sound played but it is slowed down.

Kanye West was sued by Evel Knievel for trademark infringement, the star adorned blue and white costume wore by Kanye in the video was the same as the costume wore by Evel when he attempted to jump Snake river canyon in 1974.
