There’s no limit to visual creativity and graphic artistes continue to push the boundaries. The music video to Kanye West’s song “Feel Me” leaked online and the visual depicts Kylie Jenner’s rise to stardom.
Director Eli Russell Linnetz, who directed the video, posted the clip on his Instagram for the first time on Wednesday, September 2. “I directed this three years ago. no ones ever seen it before. #feelme,” he wrote in the caption for the video.
Linnetz disclosed to E! News yesterday that the idea behind the clip “Feel Me” by Kanye was to depict Kylie’s stardom and how the success she has amassed stemmed from the support of her elder sister, Kim Kadarshian. To visualise this, Kim is seen metaphorically giving birth to Kylie in the video.

“It features Kylie coming out of Kim’s vagina,” the director says. “The metaphorical meaning being that there would be no Kylie without Kim.”
The song, which features Kylie’s ex Tyga, began circulating online in 2016. The visual was made three years ago. However, it was never released due to Kylie and the rapper’s split, which occurred after the video was made.
“The video was shot over five months but was never released because Kylie and Tyga broke up,” Linnetz tells.
The director also added that the video, which cost nearly a whooping $1 million to produce, is the “visual smashing of American iconography, man made machinery battling man-made women.”
In the leaked video for “Feel Me,” Kylie can be seen walking through a monster truck race track in racy clothing while Kim Kardashian wears a similar two-piece outfit.
It’s remains unknown why Eli Russell Linnetz decided to post the visual, but it can be viewed below.
