We’ve already posted a video from last weekend’s Kanye West performance at the MTV VMAs in which he “toasts” douchebags, assholes, jerkoffs and the like.

Well, only a day later the studio and uncensored version, of the track “Runaway”, from his upcoming album November release rumored to be titled Dark Twisted Fantasy, popped up on Funkmaster Flex’s blog. Listen to it here: Kanye West – “Runaway” (Studio Version).

Speaking of “Runaway”, Pitchfork.com reports that in addition to the song, West is starring in a film titled Runaway that is a 40-minute noir piece based on his new album. What’s it about?

According to New York Magazine’s The Cut Blog, it’s about…

“the story of a phoenix fallen to Earth, and I make her my girlfriend, and people discriminate against her and eventually she has to burn herself alive and go back to her world.”

No word on a release date yet, but cool? Uh, sure. Cool.
