Rejoice all! Kanye West's "Fade" video is finally available on YouTube -- allowing all of us to behold Teyana Taylor's insane, post-baby bod and dance moves.
At the 2016 VMAs, 'Ye premiered the video that starred the singer/songwriter/actress. Soon afterward, social media went nuts because of the greatness of the visual.
In an interview with The New York Times, the 24-year-old director of the video, Eli Russell Linetz, admitted that visual was inspired by many things including Grace Jones and...porn. "Flashdance is just so iconic that it’s hard to move away from that, but the Ohio Players’ album covers were our starting point. Some people picked up on the Grace Jones boxing images by Jean-Paul Goude," Linetz said. "I pulled a lot of references from ’70s and ’80s porn, just on Pornhub."
He added, "It all seems fragmented, and then it’s all boiled down to this one image because Kanye is so good about overseeing the people involved."
Get your life by re-watching "Fade" (for the billionth time) below.
