And then he steals from it. Well it’s more like a homage I guess, but it’s cool for bloggers to shovel the shit at rappers/stars/lowly barista’s.

Anyhoo, in Kanye’s latest single/video he’s taken the the song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk and made it his whole song basically, of course he’s flipped it a bit and all that, actually sounds pretty decent too I have to admit, much better then that shit sandwich that was “Better Then I’ve Ever Been”. Now granted I didn’t really like his first CD at all, and I only listened to his second for “Crack Music”, his 3rd effort might be interesting to at least listen to a few times. His first single “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” may have had a craptacular video, but it actually had some decent lyrics and a catchy background sample.

Back to this new single “Stronger” though, it might only be good ’cause I spent many a day flat on my back bored listening to Discovery before catching a glance at IRC or something. What’s of note though is that Kanye took a good chunk of the video’s scenery and ideas from Akira. Guess who Kanye is supposed to be. Personally though I would’ve had a replica made of Kaneda’s bike made, but that may just be me ’cause that thing would probably get me kicked in my teeth if I rode around on it. Video down below.
