Trivia

Kanye West originally wanted Hype Williams to direct the video for "Jesus Walks" but changed his mind when he heard that Jay-Z was considering Williams to direct his video for "99 Problems". West has a friendly competition with Jay and didn't want to use the same director. But "99 Problems" ended up being directed by Mark Romanek.

Goofs

In "All Falls Down", West lies on the conveyor belt and goes through the metal detector feet first. But in his X-ray, he is shown going through head first.

---

Crazy Credits

At the end of "Two Words", the sentence "No animals were hurt during the making of this film" appears. There are no animals in the video at all.
