See Why Everyone's Talking About Kanye West's 'Famous' Music Video

The surprising cameos are hard to miss.

Kanye West gave his fans a treat last night, dropping the video for his controversial Life of Pablo track "Famous" on Tidal. While premiering it live in Los Angeles, fans who were in the building to catch the exclusive first look saw the rapper's interesting video treatment that has some stratching their heads in confusion and others praising his artistry and boldness.

The clip shows a series of 12 static famous bodies lying very closesly on a bed, and chances are, you know every one of them for one reason or another.

Next Picasso? - Kanye West is known for doing the unexpected when it comes to his art — in particular, his video treatments. So, when it came to his latest visual offering for "Famous," taken from his LP The Life of Pablo, he did just that. Showing several "famous figures" lying naked on a bed closely beside one another was one way to do it, and the rapper went full on out.

As Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian lie in the middle, to their left and right are several familiar faces, lying naked, only barely covered by a white sheet. They included George W. Bush, Anna Wintour, Donald Trump, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner and Bill Cosby.

They all appear to be asleep in the clip. You can catch the music video exclusively on Tidal.

In true Kanye fashion, the live video premiere ended up having an encorse screening for $25.

Remember to catch the MC at the BET Awards tomorrow night.
