A little harder, faster, stronger, better?
Friday, August 3rd, 2007I know I’m probably a little late on this… but have you guys seen the new Kanye West and Daft Punk collaboration? Santos, the Mr. showed me the video a while ago, and I have been meaning to post it and share with the people who– like myself– were late on the upkeep. I did want to share my thoughts on it too. I have to say I am a huge fan of both Kanye West and Daft Punk. I like a lot of Kanye’s lyrics, and Daft Punk comes out with some sick beats; and though their collaboration brings lots of joy to me, it also sort of makes me sad. I usually reach a point of confusion whenever hip-hop mixes with electronic/punk/techno/rock… pretty much any scene hip-hop normally steers away from.I love the way the collaborations come out, for instance– one of my favorite albums is the Grey Album, the collaboration with Jay-Z’s Black Album mixed with The Beatles White Album ( The Beatles 9th self-titled album). I was highly impressed with the combination of both sounds, but what bugged me? I don’t mind when the ghetto youth of America learns about new music, but I honestly hate it when they start “rockin” these artists as though they have the right to. Does this make any sense? What I am saying is; learn to appreciate the music, rather than listening to it because your current favorite artist just made a song with their music.Eh, whatever, I have pet-peeves that some may not understand. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the video.
