WATCH IT: Kid Cudi "Pursuit Of Happiness" (Megaforce, dir.)

The original and previously unreleased video for Kid Cudi "Pursuit Of Happiness" has finally leaked and it's a headscratcher, both in terms of the trippy visuals and the fact that it was left on the shelf for so long. Directing team Megaforce tap into the night-terror vibe of the tune and deliver the kind of mindbending twists that would make their fellow Frenchman Michel Gondry proud. --> watch "Pursuit Of Happiness" (alternate version) PULLED FROM YOUTUBE... SORRY!

What's the real story with this video? A dead link here...Label/director disagreement?

Its really a shame... I think this video would have made Cudi a star, esp among the creative set...

Absolutely, sometimes it's a little hard to understand the decision making process behind killing a piece. Often the killed videos are far more creative. I heard that Cudi felt that he "looked high" in the video. Nonsense.
