Runaway

"Runaway" is the second single from American rapper Kanye West's fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The song features rapper Pusha T of Clipse. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at no. 12. A 35-minute short film directed by West accompanies the song which also serves as the song's music video.[3] The film premiered on October 23, 2010. The film has four versions: the full-length film, a one minute-shorter clean version, the video version which is an excerpt of the film that matches the length of the song, and the extended video version which is nearly double the length of the video version. Rolling Stone magazine placed the song at number one on their list of the Best Singles of 2010 maintaining "In 2010, no other song was so crazily epic or jaw-droppingly gorgeous — not on the radio, not anywhere."
