There's this rap/hip hop music video where the camera pans across a
bulletin board covered with photographs, and the camera pauses on the
photographs, which come to life, sometimes with concert footage or
documentary footage.  In the song, the artist is reminiscing about
past events.  This video couldn't be more than 2 years old.

I'd like to know the name of the artist and the name of the song.  Thanks!

Hi erinchan,

I believe the music video you are referring to is 'Through The Wire'
by Kanye West. You can view the video on the mtv web site:

http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/west_kanye/audvid.jhtml

Click on the 'Through The Wire' link that is located under the Music
Videography area to be able to view the video online (Real Player
required).

Please can you confirm if this is the music video you are referring to
in your question?

Regards,
lotd

That's the song, alright.  Although I have severe issues with
RealPlayer so I was unable to watch the video... (I couldn't find the
plug-in for IE in Mac OS 9.1, and at work I have OSX, but I'm not
giving RealPlayer my credit card info for their "free" trial.  Plus I
hate RealPlayer).

Anyway, thanks so much for your help!

Apologies, the search link was posted incorrectly:

I wish I could have found this answer by just using the google seach
engine, but a description of the music video wan't enough
information...
