“Let’s not worry about whether Kanye West’s video for “Bound 2,” featuring our blue-screened hero sexing Kim Kardashian on a motorcycle amid SyFy Channel-grade special effects, is a visual disaster, albeit possibly an intentional one. Because more importantly, this very public love letter of a promotional device is a fascinating new chapter in how Kanye West, conflicted misogynist and dude who should just plain know better, presents women in his music videos.

A walk through his videography offers a more sophisticated and nuanced presentation of Ye’s conflicted feelings about the opposite sex than you can find in his songs. Save for choice moments of empathy (“All Falls Down,” “Hey Mama,” “Hell of a Life”) and those rare but endearing love-song guest-raps (Ne-Yo’s “Because of You,” Keri Hilson’s “Knock You Down”), his rhymes about women tend to be fairly typical in their hostility.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
