Background[edit]

After gathering information on the plight of children in West African countries, who since 1991 have been forced to mine conflict diamonds and die in civil wars financed by them, West recorded a remix to 'Diamonds from Sierra Leone' which featured an additional closing verse by Jay-Z and new verses that detail the situation in Sierra Leone. He initiates the remix by proclaiming, 'Good Morning! This ain't Vietnam. Still, people lose hands, legs, arms for real. Little was known of Sierra Leone, and how it connects to the diamonds we own'^[2] The remix was included as the thirteenth track within the album, whereas the original version was included as a bonus track. An unofficial remix entitled 'Conflict Diamonds,' which went into even further detail regarding the situation in Sierra Leone, was recorded by Kanye's friend and fellow Chicago hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco. 'Diamonds from Sierra Leone' remains a crowd favorite and is one of West's most performed songs. It boasts a chorus that calls for listeners to 'Throw your diamonds in the sky,' referring to the Roc-A-Fella hand sign, which is in the shape of a diamond.

Composition[edit]

The song contains a sample of the theme song for the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, that is of the same title as the film, as performed by Shirley Bassey.^[3] Bassey was reported to be very impressed with West's performance and stated that she wished to work with him in the future.^[4] West explained how he went on to record 'Crack Music' after having sampled Bassey in an interview with Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian when saying:

All this is saying is, OK I see now, the 'hood does not quite want Shirley Bassey yet, so let me still give them this. Crack Music was made after Diamonds. After black people were like, 'I don't know about this one.' It was like me reaching too high for the cookie jar.^[5]

Music video[edit]

The music video for 'Diamonds from Sierra Leone' was directed by Hype Williams and shot entirely in black and white.^[6] It was filmed on location in the city of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. West was fascinated by the architecture found in the capital and felt its sculptures, cathedrals, and stone pavements emitted the timeless feel of 'Diamonds'.^[7] The video illustrates the topics West would later touch on within the remix of the song, as it features visuals of young African children toiling away in mines under the careful watch of their wardens. The images are juxtaposed with scenes of wealthy Europeans shopping in boutiques and trying on jewelry. The music video ends with text that reads, 'Please purchase conflict-free diamonds'.^[8] The video was nominated for Best Male Video at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards and NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Music Video at the 2005 NAACP Image Awards.
